The table toppers Sydney Sixers will host the Hobart Hurricanes at the MCG in Melbourne on 24th January 2021 at 13:45 IST. The Sydney Sixers will be looking to bounce back from 46 runs trashing by their city rivals.

Sydney Sixers Form & Team News

The Sydney Sixers have already qualified for the playoffs, but will be working to seal the top two spot. They are currently at the top of the table with 32 points. Out of the 12 matches played this season, they have won eight and have lost just four matches including eight bash boost points. Courtesy of an Alex Hales heroic century,  the Sixers three match winning streak was snapped.

The Sixers will probably stick to the same playing XI as they haven’t sealed the top two position yet. Joshua Philippe is the tournament’s second highest run getter with 441 runs in 12 innings and just 21 runs behind Alex Hales. He is followed by James Vince and Daniel Hughes with 293 and 283. They have a pretty good bowling attack including Ben Dwarshuis, Dan Christian, Steve O’Keefe and Carlos Brathwaite. All these four bowlers have chipped in with more than ten wickets.

Hobart Hurricanes Form & Team News

After a good start, the Hobart Hurricanes have lost their way and currently see themselves in the sixth position with 23 points. They have played 12 matches this season and have a 50% win-loss record including five bash boost points. They are having a poor run of form as they have won just one match out of the last five matches and will be looking to make the most out of the last two matches.

The times when their batting stood up, their bowling was a bit of a disappointment and vice versa. Ben McDermott has been sensational for them with the bat and has scored 397 runs at an average of 44.11 and is the third highest run getter in the tournament. Apart from him, four other players have chipped in with over 200 runs, including Tim David, Dawid Malan, D’Arcy Short and Colin Ingram. Only three bowlers have managed wickets in double digits, with Nathan Ellis leading the pack with 17 wickets.
