The 44th match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2021-22 will see the Sydney Thunder (THU) take on the Hobart Hurricanes (HUR) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Monday.
The Hobart Hurricanes have blown hot and cold this season with five wins in 10 BBL games. They come into the fixture on the back of a thumping win over the Brisbane Heat and will be keen to sustain their newfound momentum. However, they face a rampant Sydney Thunder side brimming with confidence. Despite losing out on the services of Saqib Mahmood and Sam Billings, the Thunder still bare a strong look. They will fancy their chances of a win, but will be wary of Ben McDermott and co. With both teams itching to get a win under their belts, a cracking game beckons at the MCG.

Pitch Report
A competitive track beckons at the MCG with ample help on offer for the bowlers. While the pacers should get the ball to swing around in the early phases, the batters will look to be aggressive in the powerplay phase. As the match progresses, the spinners will come into play, making for a good contest between the bat and ball. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 160-170 being a good total at the venue.
Today’s HUR vs THU Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Matt Gilkes: Matt Gilkes has been a good addition to the Thunder set-up, often scoring quick runs at the top of the order. The southpaw has already scored a few fifties this season, holding him in good stead and giving him the nod in your HUR vs THU Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Oliver Davies: With Sam Billings not being available for the Thunder, the onus falls upon the shoulders of Oliver Davies to deliver the goods in the middle overs. Explosive with the bat and capable of clearing the boundary at will, Davies has shown glimpses of his ability and should score some runs against the Hobart Hurricanes.
All-rounder
D'Arcy Short: Although D'Arcy Short has been demoted to the middle order and hasn't been in the best of form with the bat, he has scored 277 runs at a decent average. His left-arm leg-spin only betters the case for his inclusion in your HUR vs THU Dream11 fantasy team alongside Daniel Sams, who is a fine option himself.
Bowler
Tom Rogers: Tom Rogers is one of the highest wicket-takers in the BBL this season with 15 wickets in nine games. Apart from his brilliance with the new ball, Rogers has done well in the death overs, holding him in good stead ahead of this all-important fixture.
