In Game 11 of the 2022–23 Big Bash League, Sydney Sixers and Hobart Hurricanes will square off in Sydney on Thursday. The Hurricanes were defeated in their first game before rebounding to the Perth Scorchers in Match 8 while the Sixers have lost both of their initial games of this season. At 19:15 local time, the match begins at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
The Sydney Sixers’ batting lineup seems a touch underwhelming, but all it will take is one guy to have a good game to start the competition. On a strong batting surface, now could be the time.
The Hobart Hurricanes returned to winning ways in their most recent game, so we anticipate that all of their players will be very confident going into this game. They will stop briefly in Sydney.
Sydney Sixers vs Hobart Hurricanes Weather Report
Although rain is a possibility, it won’t affect the outcome of this game. A lot of clouds will be present, and the temperature will stay around 19 degrees.
Sydney Sixers vs Hobart Hurricanes Match Toss Prediction
Since the SCG’s statistics indicate that batting first or second doesn’t really matter, and since the humidity is expected to increase in the second half of the match, we anticipate that both captains will opt to field first.
Sydney Sixers vs Hobart Hurricanes Pitch Report
The SCG’s surface consistently has good carry, giving batters complete confidence in their swings. A par score of at least 165 is expected.
Sydney Sixers Team News & Probable Playing XIs
Nathan Lyon (international service) and Chris Jordan (injury) are still out for Sydney Sixers, and neither one of them would be able to join the team right away given how strong the bowling attack has been so far. After a mediocre tournament debut, the top-order hitters will be aiming to produce a high total.

We anticipate Hobart Hurricanes to field the same lineup against Perth Scorchers in this match after a razor-thin eight-run victory over them on Monday in Launceston.
