Hobart Hurricanes and Perth Scorchers meet in a high-stakes New Year clash of BBL|15 in Hobart, with the in-form defending champions Hurricanes looking to consolidate a top-two spot against a Scorchers outfit still searching for consistency but carrying serious firepower.

Hurricanes sit in the top two with 4 wins from 5 and a healthy net run rate, riding a three-match winning streak, all achieved while chasing.​ Whereas, Scorchers have 2 wins from 4; they opened with a win, lost two on the bounce, then smashed 202 and beat Sydney Thunder by 71 runs to reassert themselves.​ These sides already met in Perth this season, where Hobart chased down 151 with 3 balls to spare, which gives the Hurricanes a psychological edge.

Bellerive Oval Pitch Report

Bellerive Oval in Hobart delivers a well-balanced pitch for Big Bash League matches, where seamers gain early help from movement and bounce with the new ball. The pitch provides true carry and shorter boundaries, becoming more batter-friendly later, supporting strike rates near 138 and first-innings totals typically from 147 to 166.​ As the match advances, the surface flattens out, benefiting aggressive batting. Fast bowlers claim most early wickets, while spinners gain traction with grip in the middle overs. Dew, if present, can turn it into a high-scoring affair.​ Chasing sides have dominated lately, winning 10 of the last 20 BBL games here. Totals of 150-190 have been defendable, with the ground favoring teams that post or chase competitively.​

Hobart Hurricanes: Nathan Ellis (c), Tim David, Ben McDermott, Riley Meredith, Billy Stanlake, Matthew Wade, Beau Webster, Jake Weatherald, Chris Jordan, Rishad Hossain, Rehan Ahmed, Mac Wright, Iain Carlisle, Nikhil Chaudhary, Fergus O’Neill, Ollie Peake
