SIX vs HUR Probable Winners:

In Tasmania, which has very different summer conditions than the rest of Australia, this could be an interesting competition. The Hobart Hurricanes have a strong group of experienced players, and their pace bowling attack should take advantage of the conditions. The Sydney Sixers have an excellent bowling squad as well, and they started the season well with bat and ball against the Renegades. We expect a close match with Sydney Sixers coming out on top. The Sydney Sixers will defeat the Hobart Hurricanes. Considering the team combination, Sydney Sixers is expected to win this match.
