Sydney Thunder will take on Hobart Hurricanes in the 27th match of the BBL 2024-25 at Sydney Showground Stadium in Sydney on Wednesday, January 8.
Thunder, led by David Warner, has picked up four wins in six games. Though they bagged good enough victories so far in the campaign, Thunder has been inconsistent with their gameplay. Injuries turned out to be another concern. However, their squad will be strengthened with Sam Konstas’ comeback.
On the other hand, Hurricanes, led by Nathan Ellis, are at the third rank in the standings with four wins in five games. After suffering a loss in the first game against Renegades, they bagged four consecutive wins.
