Team Preview:
Sydney Sixers (SYS):
Sydney Sixers have arguably been the best side of the tournament thus far and going by what we have seen of them up until now, they are looking well set to defend their crown. With two wins in two matches, Sydney Sixers are at the top of the table and will be looking to continue going strong in the tournament.
Sydney Sixers started off their campaign with a big win over Melbourne Stars, starting off from where they left off in the last season. Their second encounter in this edition of the tournament was against Hobart Hurricanes, which they managed to win by 14 runs. As it currently stands, they have a net run rate of +4.150, which could come in handy going forward.
On paper, the Sixers have an incredibly good side that oozes class in both departments of the game. They are riding their form at the moment and if they are able to play to their potential in this upcoming match as well, they should sail through to score yet another win in this competition.
Likely XI: Josh Philippe, James Vince, Moises Henriques, Daniel Hughes, Jordan Silk, DT Christian, Tom Curran, Hayden Kerr, Chris Jordan, Benjamin Manenti, Steve O’Keefe.

Hobart Hurricanes (HBH):
Hobart Hurricanes are one of the only two teams that have played just one match in the competition thus far. They were left stranded in that match as they could not chase down even a modest total against Sydney Sixers.
They have not played a lot of cricket in the tournament up until now, but they would be delighted to get back their familiar opening pair in D’Arcy Short and Matthew Wade. However, their batting lacks depth and that could prove to be an impediment against this potent Sixers unit. Hobart Hurricanes have a capable unit and if they are able to fill the voids, they should prove to be solid contenders in this match against the Sixers.
Likely XI: Matthew Wade, D’Arcy Short, Caleb Jewell, Peter Handscomb, JM Cox, Tim David, Tom Lammonby, Nathan Ellis, Joel Paris, Thomas Rogers, Sandeep Lamichhane.
