The Sixers are the form team in the Big Bash. They have started well with 2 good wins including an absolute smashing of the Melbourne Stars in the first match of the Big Bash. They will be confident of another win over the Hurricanes here.
The Sixers will be without Sean Abbott who is away with the Australian A team and Ben Dwarshius who is missing with a continued injury. The team will be very similar to the win in the reverse of this fixture against the Hobarts.
Tom Curran is performing well so far taking wickets and getting runs. Captain Moises Henriques is the standout player for the Sixers so far. His experience as a batter and as captain will be invaluable to the Sixers again in this match.

The team should be kicking themselves for losing this match. They had the Sixers on the ropes and then let them fight back. At 39/5 they should have limited them to 120 as a maximum but let them get 20 runs too many. Hurricanes were going well until a late collapse was their undoing. The team was not helped by D’Arcy Short’s knock of 21 at a 58 strike rate. When playing like that he would have been better to get out than keep scoring runs slowly. They need a much better performance from their openers to get a win against the Sixers in this rematch.

Sixers 180/5

This was a fortunate win for the Sixers who looked to be on the ropes. They batted first and really struggled to get going in the match. At 39/5 it looked like the match would be a very low scoring one and an easy win for the Hurricanes.
Henriques played a captains innings with his 73 at a 152 strike rate. He really dug in and kept scoring at a good rate. Tom Curran came in and got a very sensible 27 at a lower rate to allow Henriques to keep the runs going. This was a very mature performance from Curran who also shone with the ball. The 144 they fishing on looked to be 30 more than they deserved and left the bowlers with a good chance in return.
Curran’s 3/27 from 4 made him the top bowler in the team and the match, by just 1 run conceded. Kerr did well only conceding 15 off 3 over and taking 2 wickets. In the end, they won by 14 runs after the Hurricanes fizzled out.
