HUR vs SIX Dream11 Prediction for Today's BBL 2023 Match 5, Playing XI, and Captain and Vice-Captain Picks

The 5th encounter of the Big Bash League 2023-24 between the Hobart Hurricanes and the Sydney Sixers will take place at the North Tasmania Cricket Association Ground in Launceston on December 11th at 1:45 PM IST.

This will be the first match of the season for the Hurricanes, who have consistently underperformed in recent years. However, under the leadership of Nathan Ellis, they are determined to rewrite their history.

The Sydney Sixers, on the other hand, are already off to a winning start, having defeated the Melbourne Renegades in a thrilling encounter. Leading the charge for the Sixers was Moises Henriques, who will be looking to build on this momentum.

Seeking a fresh beginning, the Hurricanes will need to overcome a Sydney Sixers team riding high on confidence. The likes of Steve Smith and Moises Henriques have shown great form with the bat, and the bowling attack led by Ben Dwarshuis will be a difficult proposition for the Hurricanes.

This will be the first BBL match that will be played on this ground, therefore the team winning the toss will look to chase first to get a better idea of the conditions.
