THU vs HUR, BBL 2024-25 Preview

The Sydney Thunder team has won four of its six matches of the season to be ranked number two on the BBL 2024-25 points table. With an NRR of 0.166, they are only falling behind table-toppers Sydney Sixers at the moment. Fast bowlers Wes Agar and Lockie Ferguson have played an influential role in Thunder’s success off late, considering both pacemen have picked up eight wickets each at impressive averages this season. 

With the bat, captain David Warner and Englishman Sam Billings have tallied the highest number of runs among all Sydney Thunder players in the tournament.

The Hobart Hurricanes team is currently on a four-match winning streak. Catapulting themselves up to number three on the BBL 2024-25 standings after their opening defeat to the Melbourne Renegades, the Hurricanes have maintained an NRR of -0.154 from five league matches. 

In spite of their success, death-overs bowling seems to be a primary area of concern for the Hurricanes this season. The batting department, on the other hand, has been ably helmed by in-form Mitchell Owen as well as by hard-hitting radicals Ben McDermott and Tim David.
