In the fifth match of the BBL 2023/24, Hobart Hurricanes (HBH) are set to take on Sydney Sixers (SIX) at the University of Tasmania Stadium, Launceston. This will be the first match of the season for Hurricanes, who are led by Matthew Wade. They will be up against a trophy winning machine side like Sydney Sixers, who are one of the most successful sides in the league.

Sydney had a decent start to their campaign. In their first match, Sydney held their nerves to overcome Melbourne Renegades by 7 runs in a thrilling battle. At SCG, Sydney won the match due to the brilliance of Ben Dwarshius and Sean Abbott in the death overs. Steve Smith batted well for the Sixers and helped the side to win the match with a brilliant fifty.

Hobart have a better head-to-head record over Sixers in the league. they are one of the fewest sides to have a better head-to-head record over the champion side. That would give them a confidence to face Sixers at Launceston. On the other hand, sixers would be aiming to continue their winning momentum. A win against Hobart would give them a lot more confidence about their campaign in the season.

HBH vs SIX: Pitch Reports

The wicket in University of Tasmania Stadium at Launceston has historically been not that easy to bat on. Due to the bigger boundaries and slow nature of the wicket, the ball does not come easy on to the bat. Hence, both the batters and the bowlers would be in the game. The wicket would slightly be pacy to ensure that the quicks would be in the game as well. There would be some extra bounce in the surface.

Batters with better skills to rotate strike would be key in the middle overs. Early in the innings, it is necessary to make the best usage of the filed restrictions. Batters must make the most of the early advantage. A score of 165 would be around par. Bowlers must be good enough if they rely on their lengths and back themselves to bowl in good lines. Change of pace would be the key for the express pacers.
