Big Bash League: 27th Match, ST vs HH, Match Prediction - Who Will Win Today?

The Hurricanes are on a bit of a roll but could this be them peaking too early again. Too often they have done that only to fade away in the back end. Thunder though has a challenge. They are struggling with injuries and their squad has looked depleted. Dan Christian has fortunately come out of retirement to help and is off to a good start.

ST vs HH Key Players

David Warner

With injuries in the camp, David Warner has added responsibility on him. At his best he can win games on his own for certain and glimpses of a return to form has been on show this season.

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.
