The Sydney Sixers, the only undefeated team in the BBL, are gearing up to take on the Hobart Hurricanes in the first game of 2025. The Hurricanes, who have won their last two matches after a disappointing start to the season, will be boosted by the return of Matthew Wade from a calf injury. However, they will be without Nathan Ellis due to illness, with Peter Hatzoglou stepping in and Ben McDermott taking over the captaincy.

On the other hand, the Sixers have announced an unchanged squad for the upcoming game. The match is scheduled to start at 4pm AEDT on Wednesday.

The Hurricanes squad includes players like Nikhil Chaudhary, Tim David, Shai Hope, Chris Jordan, and Matthew Wade. Meanwhile, the Sixers will be led by Moises Henriques and feature players like Jackson Bird, Ben Dwarshuis, and Josh Philippe.
