HH vs SS Key Players

Moises Henriques

At 38, Moises Henriques continues to enjoy his cricket. Nearly out of international reckoning, Henriques has a chance of doing something similar to Dan Christian who also used the Sixers to make a late comeback in his career.

Nathan Ellis

Captain Nathan Ellis fought alone in the first game. He got runs down the order to get Hobart at least above 50 but the overall performance from his teammates was pretty poor. He is leading from the front and his performances could inspire his teammates to support and build.

HH vs SS Match Tips

Normally, Sixers start favorites but both sides are pretty balanced now. Sixers may start initial favorites though but marginally.
