BBL 2024-25: Predicting Hobart Hurricanes’ playing XI for the qualifier against Sydney Sixers 

Check out the predicted Hobart Hurricanes’ playing XI for the qualifier against Sydney Sixers. Hobart Hurricanes began the season with a humbling loss to Melbourne Renegades as they were bowled out for just 74 runs. Nathan Ellis and his side then went on to win seven games in succession before suffering their second loss in the final game of the season. That loss ironically came against Renegades’ most heated rivals Melbourne Stars. 

Nathan Ellis and his team have played attacking cricket and have a strong unit both with the bat and ball. Hurricanes have yet to win the title and have been runners-up on a few occasions. Ahead of their qualifier game against Sydney Sixers on Tuesday, Hobart will look to put the loss suffered on Sunday behind them, get back to winning ways and reach the finals. 

Here is the predicted Hobart Hurricanes’ playing XI vs Sydney Sixers:

Top order: 

Hobart Hurricanes have one of the most destructive opening duo in Big Bash League 2024. Caleb Jewell has been impressing everyone with his batting talents and ability to post big scores on the board. Mitchell Owen, on the other hand, has been pulverizing bowlers with his attacking brand of cricket in the first six overs. 

Middle Order:  

Veteran batter Charlie Wakim’s return to Hobart’s playing XI hasn’t been easy. The batter was out for a duck on Sunday against the Stars. Ben McDermott is famous for his big-hitting skills and the home fans will hope the 30-year-old can show his skills and score big against the Sixers. Nikhil Chaudhary who shot to fame last season has had a quiet season so far but the 28-year-old is a proven match winner with the bat and ball. 

Lower-order:

RCB fans will be keeping an eye on Tim David who has shown what a brutal finisher he can become. The 28-year-old is a key reason behind Hobart’s successful run so far in the tournament. Matthew Wade may have retired from international cricket but that hasn’t stopped the veteran from showing his finishing skills with the bat during the BBL 2024 season. Chris Jordan has always been a good T20 player with his ability to chip in with the bat and also bowl with rapid speeds with the ball. 

Bowler: 

Skipper Nathan Ellis has been leading his side well and has been at the forefront of their ruthless performances so far. Ellis has batted well lower down the order and also picked wickets. Riley Meredith will be back after being rested against the Stars and will hope to continue from where he left off. Young Marcus Bean has made an immediate impression after making his debut in the latter stages of the tournament and has done well with the ball.
