Preview:
Up next is a trip to Sydney to face the second-place Sixers, a team looking to keep in touch with the runaway Stars atop the ladder.
The Hurricanes opened their season with a win over the Sixers in late December by 25-runs, but with home-field advantage favouring Sydney this time around, it’s no surprise to find Greg Shipperd’s side as the favourite.
The Sixers have been a tough side to face at home this year winning two of their three matches, while Sydney has also been a sneakily good team in terms of stats.
Ranking fourth in runs scored, the Sixers certainly have the firepower to win this game. Sydney also features three of the Top 10 wicket-takers this year, namely Tom Curran, who has taken four wickets in three career matches against Hobart.
