In Match 3 of the 2025 Global Super League (GSL), Dubai Capitals played Hobart Hurricanes at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. After winning the toss, the Hobart Hurricanes decided to bowl first, a decision that paid off with their disciplined bowling and clinical run chase. Hobart Hurricanes chased down a modest total with ease, winning by 7 wickets and with three overs still remaining.

Dubai Capitals Innings

Batting first, Dubai Capitals scored 141/8 in 20 overs, with captain Gulbadin Naib leading from the front. He scores 31 off 27 balls and was the guiding force of the innings in the top order. He was well supported by Sediqullah Atal, who provided quick acceleration with a 25 off just 11 balls. Jesse Bootan chipped in with 18 from 18 deliveries, but a regular fall of wickets meant the Capitals could never truly break free.

Hobart's bowling lineup was led by Mohammad Nabi, who collected excellent figures of 3/21 in 4 overs, holding the middle order firm. He was ably supported by Fabian Allen, who equaled Nabi with another 3/21 in his spell. Odean Smith bowled frugally too, ending up with 1/7 from 2 overs.

Hobart Hurricanes Innings

In reply, the Hurricanes chased down the target with ease, reaching 142/3 in 17 overs. Macalister Wright anchored the innings with a solid 50 off 47 balls, pacing the chase smartly. Ben McDermott, with an aggressive 48 off 24 deliveries, turned the game in Hobart’s favor rapidly during the middle overs. Jake Doran remained unbeaten on 23 to steer the team home.

Dubai Capitals tried to make inroads through their spinners, with Aryaman Varma (1/17), Rohan Mustafa (1/18), and Qais Ahmad (1/22) picking up a wicket each, but the total was never enough to seriously challenge the Hurricanes.

Dubai Capitals vs Hobart Hurricanes: Match Scorecard

Dubai Capitals – 141/8 (20 Overs)

Hobart Hurricanes – 142/3 (17 Overs)

In a major boost for the reigning Big Bash League champions, the Hobart Hurricanes have confirmed the re-signing of explosive middle-order batter Tim David on a two-year contract, locking him in until the end of BBL 16.

David, who was a driving force behind Hobart’s title-winning campaign in BBL 14, knocked back interest from rival BBL clubs including both Melbourne franchises to remain part of the ‘Cane Train’. His match-winning abilities with the bat, especially during the tense back end of games, made him one of the most sought-after players on the market. “I’m super excited to re-sign with the Hurricanes for another two seasons,” David said. “Last year was special, and I can't wait to do it all again next summer.”

BBL 14: David at His Best

The 28-year-old produced his best Big Bash season to date in BBL 14, scoring 254 runs at an average of 42.33 and an astonishing strike rate of 177.62. Nicknamed the "Surge Goliath" by fans and commentators, David smashed 114 runs in the two-over Power Surge period alone, striking a jaw-dropping 285.

His heroics were crucial in clutch wins against the Adelaide Strikers, Sydney Thunder, and Melbourne Renegades three consecutive victories that ultimately helped the Hurricanes reach the finals and claim their first BBL title.

Since joining the Hurricanes from the Perth Scorchers in BBL 10, David has amassed 1,217 runs at a strike rate of 159.92, including four fifties. Known for his clean power hitting and athleticism in the outfield, he has become a central figure in the Hurricanes’ rise to championship status.

Leadership and Loyalty

Cricket Tasmania General Manager of High Performance, Salliann Beams, praised David’s impact on and off the field. “Tim has been instrumental in shaping what we’re building here in Hobart. His leadership last season played a massive role in helping the team win our first championship,” Beams said. “He’s a game-changer, and we’re lucky to have him on our side.”

David’s decision to stay comes after months of speculation and reported offers from multiple clubs. Despite being uncontracted during the post-season Player Movement Window, the Hurricanes’ continued faith and vision have won out.

Hurricanes Squad Taking Shape for BBL 15

With David’s re-signing, 15 of the 18 available squad spots are now filled for BBL 15. The Hurricanes also added key names in Jake Weatherald (Adelaide Strikers) and Beau Webster (Melbourne Stars), while Caleb Jewell has departed for the Renegades.

Current Contracted Players for BBL 15:

Batters & All-rounders: Tim David, Ben McDermott, Mitch Owen, Matt Wade, Jake Weatherald, Beau Webster, Mac Wright, Nikhil Chaudhary

Bowlers: Nathan Ellis, Riley Meredith, Billy Stanlake, Iain Carlisle

Overseas Players: Rehan Ahmed (England), Rishad Hossain (Bangladesh), Chris Jordan (England)

Uncontracted Players: Marcus Bean, Paddy Dooley, Jake Doran, Cameron Gannon, Peter Hatzoglou, Shai Hope, Waqar Salamkheil, Charlie Wakim, Tim Ward

The Hurricanes are set to begin their BBL 15 campaign on December 16, with a grand final rematch against the Sydney Thunder at Ninja Stadium. They’ll aim to become the first franchise to win back-to-back titles since the Perth Scorchers’ run in BBL 11 and BBL 12. Details on memberships, tickets, and match schedules will be released soon.

The overseas player draft for the 2025-26 seasons of the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) and Big Bash League (BBL) will be held on Thursday, June 19, ushering in a fresh season of top-class cricket in Australia. The WBBL draft starts at 4 PM AEST and is followed without a gap by the BBL draft. These drafts enable every one of the eight clubs in each of the competitions to choose from a large number of international players to complete their rosters.

How the Draft Operates

The draft is a formal four-round format.

• Round 1: Platinum players only
• Round 2: Platinum and Gold
• Round 3: Gold and Silver (in reverse order)
• Round 4: Silver and Bronze

Every team needs to pick at least two overseas players except for their pre-signed players. Clubs can miss only one round. Every team has already pre-signed one overseas player prior to the draft, and players have to be assigned to a round according to how much they are earning on their contracts. Clubs can also pick a fourth overseas player as a substitute.

Draft Order

Draft order was determined through a weighted lottery based on the standings of the prior season.

• WBBL Round 1 Order: 1. Sydney Sixers, 2. Adelaide Strikers, 3. Melbourne Stars, 4. Perth Scorchers, 5. Hobart Hurricanes, 6. Sydney Thunder, 7. Melbourne Renegades, 8. Brisbane Heat.
• BBL Round 1 Order: 1. Brisbane Heat, 2. Adelaide Strikers, 3. Melbourne Renegades, 4. Perth Scorchers, 5. Hobart Hurricanes, 6. Sydney Sixers, 7. Melbourne Stars, 8. Sydney Thunder.

There was a trade in the BBL draft, with the Thunder and Scorchers exchanging picks in the second and third rounds.

Pre-signed Players (Prior to Draft)

• Adelaide Strikers: Laura Wolvaardt, Jamie Overton
• Brisbane Heat: Nadine de Klerk, Colin Munro
• Hobart Hurricanes: TBC, Chris Jordan
• Melbourne Renegades: Hayley Matthews, Tim Seifert
• Melbourne Stars: Marizanne Kapp, Tom Curran
• Perth Scorchers: Sophie Devine, Finn Allen
• Sydney Sixers: Amelia Kerr, Babar Azam
• Sydney Thunder: Chamari Athapaththu, Sam Billings

Notable Overseas Nominees

More than 600 overseas players have thrown their names into the pool for the upcoming WBBL and BBL drafts, which promises to be a great mix of talent from around the globe. The BBL has some exciting names included in the nominations, including Pakistani superstars Shaheen Shah Afridi, Shadab Khan, Haris Rauf, and Mohammad Rizwan. England's T20 hitters include Jofra Archer, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, and Alex Hales. All of these big names are among the nominations for the BBL, along with New Zealand's Lockie Ferguson, Tim Southee, and Kane Williamson, who has declared himself available for three matches. Bangladesh's Mustafizur Rahman and West Indies speed demon Shamar Joseph round out the marquee BBL names.

For the WBBL, we have some Indian stars with award-winning resumes. Jemimah Rodrigues, Shikha Pandey, and Yastika Bhatia have all made nominations to the process. West Indies' Deandra Dottin and Pakistan's Fatima Sana also add some firepower to the draft. England has featured great players like Sophie Ecclestone, Heather Knight, Danni Wyatt, and Alice Capsey, while South Africa's Shabnim Ismail and Chloe Tryon help improve the quality of nominations.

Player Salaries

WBBL:

• Platinum: $110,000
• Gold: $90,000
• Silver: $65,000
• Bronze: up to $40,000

BBL:

• Platinum: $360,000-$420,000
• Gold: $300,000
• Silver: $200,000
• Bronze: up to $100,000

Retention and Replacement Rules

Each club can have a single retention pick, typically for players who played or signed for the team the season before. Replacement players will need to be selected from the draft pool unless sanctioned under exceptional circumstances.

Season Timeline and Scheduling Conflicts

• WBBL: Late October to early December
• BBL: Mid-December to late January

The BBL would face schedule conflicts with other competing leagues such as ILT20 (Dec 2 - Jan 4) and SA20 (Dec 26 - Jan 26). Yet, Cricket Australia still has hope that international stars could be free for the second part of the season and playoffs.

Although there were initial worries about the clash of T20 leagues causing overseas players to miss the BBL, Dobson was feeling positive about this season having better outcomes than in earlier years. He highlighted the fact that instead of a mass exodus at the later stages of the BBL, it's possible that some of the players playing in the ILT20 would be available for the back end of the tournament and finals. He added that this coincided with Australia’s Test stars’ availability, as no international matches are scheduled in January after the Ashes series.

"I think so," Dobson told ESPNcricinfo. "We probably pay more attention to our teams and players and who wants to come and play in the Big Bash. And we're hearing from players that they still love coming to the BBL. It's a bucket list for many of them. We're always looking at windows and player availability, but ultimately, I think our job is to make sure our comp is as appealing as it can be."

The 2025 drafts promise high drama and strategic decisions as clubs shape their overseas core. With global superstars up for grabs and new scheduling dynamics in play, this draft season is shaping up to be one of the most competitive yet.

Hobart Hurricanes BBL Title Match Was The Long Wait

Away at the BBL it is certainly been a long time coming for Hobart Hurricanes (finally) finally bringing back maiden trophy. In a nail-biting final at Bellerive Oval, the Hurricanes crushed the Sydney Thunder to great effect and made history in BBL

Fulfilled a Decade-Long Hanger-Neck
Years and years for Hurricanes fans this particular moment has been so long in coming. The club were just two years away from winning runners-up spot more than once (2012-13, ’17-18) and so hungry or thirsty if you will for this. This time though, there was none of the agony with just elation as they absolutely demolished the final to take their first championship. 

Sydney Thunder Fall Short in Fight

In the 20 overs, Thunder compiled a decent score of 182/7 and Jason Sangha (67) & David Warner(48) added the runs. But the Hurricanes attacking strokeplay torpedoed any hardwork they did, with Owen getting the final over all to himself in what turned into a one-sided final.

Breaking the Curse

And especially for the Hurricanes, who were one champion away in the 2013-14 and 2017-18 BBL seasons. The franchise obviously had been cast for more years than not in that league "the nearly team", but this win is a dismissal of all misgivings and they are now true champions.

Melbourne Renegades defeated Hobart Hurricanes earlier this season, but much has changed since then. The Hurricanes were on a tear, winning five straight games to make their initial finals appearance in the past three seasons. At this point, the Renegades have been unable to maintain consistency, yet they still have a slim chance of making the finals. They'll have to step up and deliver an outstanding performance here. That being said, given both teams' overall form and strengths. Considering the team combination, Hobart Hurricanes is expected to win this match.

HH vs ST Match Preview

The Sydney Thunder will face the Hobart Hurricanes in Match 29 of the BBL 2024-25 on Friday at Bellerive Oval. Their previous meeting at Stadium on Wednesday had rained out, preventing either team from rising to the top of the Big Bash League standings. With a single rival point each, the second-place Thunder and third-place Hurricanes are currently tied with the top-ranked Sydney Sixers, who have a higher net run rate.
