The 35th BBL 2025 match between the Hobart Hurricanes and Brisbane Heat will take place at Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Wednesday. The Heat have been struggling through their campaign to this point, with no back-to-back victories coming their way. Usman Khawaja's comeback on Saturday was a timely boost for them and kept their final hopes alive.

On the other hand, the defending champions suffered an early loss against the Stars but have looked near-perfect since, even after losing star batter Tim David to a season-ending hamstring injury. The batting lineup shows range and intent to attack. Mitch Owen and Nikhil Chaudhary have given strong openings, with Chaudhary leading the way as the top scorer.

Hobart Hurricanes will take on Brisbane Heat in the 35th match of the Big Bash League 2025-26 on Wednesday, January 14, at Ninja Stadium, Hobart. As the league stage is reaching an end, this match has different significance for both teams.

The Hobart Hurricanes have already secured a spot in the playoffs and currently sit at the top of the points table. Under Nathan Ellis’ leadership, the Hurricanes have been the most consistent side this season. With qualification confirmed, they may try a few combinations but will still aim to keep their winning rhythm going before the knockout matches.

The Brisbane Heat, meanwhile, have had an up-and-down campaign. Even though results may not have gone their way throughout the season, they still have a chance to qualify for the playoff spot. A win against the table-toppers would push them into the fourth spot and take them to 10 points, making this a must-win contest for the Heat.
