Sydney Sixers have had a terrific start to the season, winning all of their four matches so far in the ongoing Big Bash League. Next up, the Moises Henriques-led side will play Hobart Hurricanes on January 1 at Bellerive Oval. In their last game against Brisbane Heat, the Sixers scripted an eight-wicket win as Ben Dwarshuis picked up a four-wicket haul while Josh Phillippe made an unbeaten 66 off 41.
Hobart, on the other hand, won two out of their three games so far. In their last match, the Nathan Ellis-led side defeated Adelaide Strikers by 11 runs. Ben McDermott smashed 68 runs off 34 deliveries while Chris Jordan picked up two wickets. They bat aggressively and that can be a blessing at times or a boon.
