SYT Vs HBH Match Prediction: The Big Bash League 2025-26 will be the 15th season of this competition under this name, and the 21st season of professional men’s domestic T20 cricket in Australia. Match 21 of the tournament will be between two former champions
The Sydney Thunder are former BBL champions, winning the league in 2015-16. Last season, they finished third, making it to the final, where they lost. They have had a disastrous start to the season. While they split their first two games, one being a loss to the Hobart Hurricanes and the other being a win over the Sydney Sixers. Since then, they have lost three in a row to the Brisbane Heat, the Melbourne Stars, and the Perth Scorchers. With one win, four losses, two points, and the worst net run rate in the league in five matches, the Thunder are at the bottom of the league table
On the other hand, the Hobart Hurricanes are one-time BBL champions, winning the league all the way back in 2018-19. Last season was a forgettable one for them, as they finished sixth on the points table, well outside top-four contention. This season, they have had a decent run so far. The Hobart-based team won their opener against the Sydney Thunder, before stumbling against the cross-town rivals, the Stars. Then came three wins in a row against the Renegades, the Scorchers, and the Renegades again. However, they did lose their most recent match against the Scorchers. With four wins, two losses, eight points, and a positive net run rate in six matches, the Hurricanes are second on the points table.

SYT Vs HBH Match 21 ENGIE Stadium Pitch Report
The ENGIE Stadium, also known as the Sydney Showground Stadium, is a very balanced pitch. While it does lean towards being more bowling-friendly in the early proceedings, it settles into being a batting-friendly one in the latter portions of a game. Pacers find some decent movement, good pace, and a lot of bounce with the new ball, making surviving the powerplay especially difficult for the batters. But then, as the pitch gets older, the bounce mellows and the sideways movement stops with an older ball. This makes stroke playing much easier, especially in the second inning. Choosing to bat second after winning the toss is the play here.
