2018/19 Big Bash League: Predicting the champions of BBL 08

Final - Hobart Hurricanes vs. Sydney Sixers

Can Archer lead the Hurricanes to the title?

Not often does the team that dominates the entire regular season come out on top in the Finals, but with the lineup that the Hurricanes posses, it's hard to see them falling short. They did lose a few games throughout the year, but when Matthew Wade and D'Arcy Short have gotten going at the top of the order, they've been untouchable.

It's not going to be a walkover, because the Sixers have dynamic players throughout their ranks, all the way down to Sean Abbott, but no one has the strike power of the Hurricanes. In Short, Wade, Archer and Meredith, Hobart have dangerous players opening both their bowling and batting, and that's what will make the difference.

Prediction: Hobart Hurricanes Win
