Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Thunder Prediction & Betting Tips 2022
Sydney Thunder is currently one of the top four teams in the Big Bash League. They have performed extremely well in all the departments in the past 5 games and we have a gut feeling that Sydney Thunder will outperform Hobart Hurricanes in the upcoming fixture.
Before playing against Hobart Hurricanes in the 42nd match, Sydney Thunder will play against Perth Scorchers and will hope to come out as winners to play against Hobart Hurricanes. Sydney Thunder lost their first match against Sydney Sixers after 4 back-to-back wins and will target a win against Hobart Hurricanes to regain their form.
Hobart Hurricanes on the other hand had an alternate winning streak going on which was broken as they lost 2 consecutive matches against Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Renegades. Soon after their 2 back-to-back loss, they redeemed themselves by defeating Melbourne Stars in the previous game.
Irrespective of which team bats first, expect a score between 130 to 150 runs in the next fixture as Bellerive Oval has produced 2 low-scoring games out of 3 before.
We expect an enthralling contest between Sydney Thunder and Hobart Hurricanes on 15th January 2023.
Prediction - Sydney Thunders to win the 42nd match
Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Thunder Match Toss Prediction
The surface at Bellerive Oval Cricket Ground, Hobart is a balanced surface in all of Australia. Bowlers, both spinners and pacers get a bit of help in the game, and settled batters can play their shots quite easily.
Because of the gathering of moisture, the seamers might get a bit more help in the powerplay.
Spin bowling, on the other hand, will get help on this surface in middle overs and that will continue to remain constant for the next game.
The average first innings score at this surface is 140 in this edition of the Big Bash League. It gets down to 130 in the second innings. So the team that will win the toss might opt to bowl first and chase the target.

Weather Report
The weather forecast isn't as cheerful as cricket fanatics would expect it to be. There is a little chance of rain early in the morning on match day. But we do not expect it to reduce many overs in the game. The overcast conditions can support bowlers more as there will be slowness on the surface.
