BBL 2025-26: SIX vs HUR Today Match Prediction – Challenger, Who Will Win Today?

The BBL 2025 Challenger between Sydney Sixers and Hobart Hurricanes will take place at Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney on Friday. The Sydney Sixers lost the qualifier match by 48 runs against the Perth Scorchers, failing to chase down the target of 148 runs. They have one more chance to reach the finals via the Challenger, though their batting lineup needs serious improvement after being dismissed for just 99.

On the other hand, the Hobart Hurricanes won the Knockout match by 3 runs against the Melbourne Stars and booked their spot for the Challenger. The return of Nathan Ellis to the Hurricanes after missing the Knockout is a major plus. When they team up with Riley Meredith, their attack gains a lot of pace and bounce, and they have already taken 25 wickets this season.
