Hobart Hurricanes will play against the Sydney Sixers in the 15th game of the Women’s Big Bash League 2024 (WBBL 2024) at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Wednesday, November 06.

Nicola Carey has carried the team’s batting unit this year, scoring 118 runs in 4 innings at a strike rate of 117. She has also taken 5 wickets at 8.28 and is proving to be the most valuable player for the Hurricanes.
Danielle Wyatt and Elyse Villani are the other two consistent batters in this line-up. The bowling has been led admirably by Heather Graham, who has 8 wickets in 4 innings at an economy of 7.06. The team will look to make a strong comeback.
On the other hand, after winning their season opener, Sydney Sixers have suffered two back-to-back defeats – by 11 runs against Adelaide Strikers and by 32 runs against Melbourne Stars. The batting hasn’t delivered except Ellyse Perry and Sarah Bryce. The Sixers will be expecting some solid contributions from Alyssa Healy, Ashleigh Gardner, and Hollie Armitage in this game.
Perry also tops the team’s bowling charts with 5 wickets at an economy of 8. Gardner too has 5 wickets, while Courtney Sippel and Sophie Ecclestone have 3 each. This is a strong, well-balanced squad. They only need their batting group to perform well.
