The fourth match of the Big Bash League 2021-22 will be played between Hobart Hurricanes and Sydney Sixers on December 8 (Wednesday) at Aurora Stadium in Launceston. The match is to begin at 1:05 pm.

Teams Status

Sydney Sixers

If anyone thought that Sydney Sixers would get complacent after winning two straight titles, they could not have thought more wrong. The two-time defending champions were ruthless in their tournament opener, as they hammered Melbourne Stars by a massive 152 runs.

The top three of Josh Philippe, James Vince, and captain Moises Henriques were outstanding and did the bulk of the scoring as the Sixers amassed 213-4.

Like that wasn’t enough, then their bowlers took over, skittling out the Stars for a mere 61 runs to send shockwaves through the Big Bash League. This is again the team to beat and stopping them from a three-peat could prove to be very difficult.

Hobart Hurricanes

Unlike the Sixers, the Hurricanes have not already played their first game of the tournament. Their quest to win the first title starts tomorrow against the most difficult opponents in the league.

The Hurricanes are coming off of a lackluster last season that saw them miss out on the playoffs. To break the shackles of mediocrity, they have brought back Tom Rogers from none other than the Sixers, while also signing England’s Harry Brook as well as Josh Kann.

The one glimmer of hope for the Hurricanes is that they have beaten the high-flying Sixers three times in their last four meetings, with the one they did not win ending in a no-result.

Tipster’s Angle

Tip: Sydney to win at 1.70

Sydney Sixers have a poor record against Hobart Hurricanes but that does not mean the latter are the former’s Kryptonites. It’s too early and premature to say that. The Sixers are the best side in the competition and unless the wheels come off of them, we’re going to keep riding their bandwagon. The odds have been sourced from 22Bet.

Tip: Hobart Hurricanes top batsman – Mathew Wade @ 2.46

Australia’s World Cup hero Matthew Wade was in scintillating form the last time Hobart faced Sydney. He had smashed 86 off 44 balls and helped his side amass 188-8. If he opens for Hobart, like he did last time, it would be his first batting display since he rescued the Aussies in the World Cup semis against Pakistan. After such a performance, we expect a permanent boost to his confidence and performance. The odds have been sourced from Parimatch.
