Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Thunder BBL Final
The Big Bash 2024/25 will come to a fitting end with the best side of the league phase meeting the best side on current form. It will be Hobart Hurricanes hosting the Sydney Thunder at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Monday with the match starting at 1:45 pm IST.
The Hurricanes topped the league and then defeated the Sydney Sixers to confirm their spot in the Final at the first time of asking. The Thunder qualified third and then won the Knockout and the Challenger to reach this game. It’s tough to pick one side on current form, and I am backing the Hurricanes to score the most 6s.

The teams met twice in this season, with the first match in Sydney abandoned without even a toss. In the reverse fixture at this venue, the Hurricanes won by six wickets.

Hobart Hurricanes Form
The Hurricanes topped the group phase in this season with seven wins and two losses out of their ten matches. They later went on to defeat the Sydney Sixers by 12 runs in the qualifier.
Hobart is yet to win a Big Bash title in their history, with two runners-up performances in 2013-14 and 2017-18 being their best in this competition.
The hosts have been the standout team this year, bouncing back from getting out for 74 against the Melbourne Renegades. Their revival is led by their impeccable record in Hobart, with the Hurricanes winning all six matches at this venue this year. Leading their charge is Mitchell Owen (344 runs) and Riley Meredith (13 wickets).
Hobart Hurricanes Team News
The Hurricanes slotted Chris Jordan at seven in the Qualifier, and it remains to be seen if they replace one of the bowlers to give better batting balance to the side.
Sydney Thunder Form
The Sydney Thunder finished 3rd in the regular season with five wins and three losses, to go with two no results. This is a side that has bounced back from the disappointment of finishing last season with just one win.
The Thunder won this tournament back in 2015-16 but have also finished 8th in five campaigns, so they have been swinging all over the place.
The presence of David Warner (357 runs) has been a huge boost for their batting, to go with his impressive captaincy. With the ball, there have been collective performances, although Chris Green and Wes Agar combined to take 23 wickets.
Sydney Thunder Team News
The visitors made one change to their squad for the final, with Ollie Davies replacing Blake Nikitaras. It could be interesting to see if he slots straight back in, replacing Hugh Weibgen.
