Akshay Thakur - Saturday, Jan 03, 2026BBL 2025-26: Sydney Thunder vs Hobart Hurricanes Match 21: Sydney Thunder will host Hobart Hurricanes in match number 21 of the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) 2025-26, which will be played at the Sydney Showground Stadium on Saturday, January 3. Let's find out who will win today's Sydney Thunder vs Hobart Hurricanes match.
The Sydney Thunder seem to be on the wrong track. The team has won only one of the five matches they have played so far. Led by David Warner, the team will be heading into this match after consecutive losses against the Perth Scorchers and the Melbourne Stars in their last two games. With the competition being so tight, the team desperately needs a win in this match, and they will be looking to play their best cricket.
The Hobart Hurricanes are playing like true defending champions. They have lost only two of the six matches they have played in the current season and are comfortably sitting in second place. However, a win on Saturday evening would propel them to the top of the table, and they would certainly welcome that.

The pitch at the Sydney Showground Stadium is a balanced one, typically offering assistance to bowlers, especially fast bowlers, at the start of the match, before becoming a good surface for batting in T20 matches, as seen in the recent BBL match between the Thunder and the Hurricanes.
The surface often produces spongy bounce, making strokeplay difficult, and first-innings scores usually range between 150 and 170. Recent BBL data shows that teams batting first have won 22 out of the 40 matches played at this ground, although the dew factor can make chasing easier later in the innings.
Aaj ka THU vs HUR match kon jeetega: The Hobart Hurricanes have a good chance of winning today's BBL match against the Sydney Thunder at the Sydney Showground Stadium.
According to recent analysis, Hobart has a 60% chance of winning, as they have won five consecutive head-to-head matches against the Thunder and are carrying good momentum after their early-season success. The Sydney Thunder are at the bottom of the table and have a weak bowling attack, which has recently conceded over 200 runs.
