The second match of the Women's Big Bash League 2025 will see Sydney Thunder take on Hobart Hurricanes at Allan Border Field in Brisbane on Sunday, November 9. Sydney Thunder finished sixth in the T20 Spring Challenge after winning two and losing two matches. They were knocked out in the Challenger round last year by Brisbane Heat. The team has a good balance of young players and experienced cricketers aiming for a strong season. Meanwhile, Hobart Hurricanes enter as strong contenders after winning the T20 Spring Challenge last month. They have signed England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt, whose form will be crucial. Coached by Jude Coleman, the Hurricanes are among the favourites this season. The match starts at 11:40 am and will be broadcast on Star Sports Network and streamed on JioHotstar. Hobart Hurricanes are predicted to win this encounter.
Head-to-Head and Match Expectations
Sydney Thunder and Hobart Hurricanes have met 19 times in total, with Thunder winning 11 matches and Hurricanes claiming seven victories. One match ended without result. Their first meeting was on January 2, 2016, and they last played on November 27, 2024. The pitch at Allan Border Field is expected to offer balance between bat and ball. Teams winning the toss may choose to bat first to build scoreboard pressure, as the surface might slow down during the second innings. Key players to watch include Nat Sciver-Brunt for her batting and Molly Strano, who took 10 wickets in the T20 Spring Challenge with an impressive economy rate of 5.11.
