HBH vs SDT DREAM11 Team | Sydney Thunder vs Hobart Hurricanes Big Bash League T20 | Today Match Prediction

Sydney Thunder would look to close their Big Bash 2019 campaign with a win when they meet table topper Hobart Hurricanes in BBL T20 tie at Manuka Oval on Saturday.

It has been a disappointing campaign for Thunder, reeling at the bottom half of the points table with only five wins so far in the competition.

Hobart Hurricanes, on the other hand, are being called the favourites to win the tournament. However, they have lost some steam of late as Hobart Hurricanes lost two games in the last four. Going into the knockout stage of the competition, Hurricanes would want to take this dead rubber tie as an opportunity to gain some confidence and momentum.
