Topmost Picks for ST vs HH Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Hobart Hurricanes

• Tim David – Tim David looks to be back in form after a very slow start this season, scoring 62 runs off just 28 runs with an impressive strike rate of 221.
• Waqar Salamkheil –  Even though Waqar Salamkheil did not have a great start to the campaign, the last match took 2 crucial wickets for 22 runs.

Top Picks – Sydney Thunder

• David Warner – The pressure would be on David Warner if the Sydney Thunders look to improve their performance this season. Despite not playing much cricket, Warner remains one of the most lethal T20 batters.
• Daniel Sams –  Daniel Sams was the lone bright spot in the Sydney Thunders' disappointing season last year. With 12 wickets, he was his team's leading wicket-taker.

ST vs HH Probable Winners:

Last season, the Sydney Thunder struggled to get started, winning only one game and completing eighth on the table. They encountered the Hobart Hurricanes multiple times and were outplayed both times, with Adelaide completing the double over them. In fact, the Thunder have not defeated the Hurricanes over their last five meetings. In contrast, the Hobart Hurricanes enjoyed a slow start this year but eventually found their groove, winning four straight games to secure a playoff spot. Considering the team combination, Hobart Hurricanes is expected to win this match.
