Big Bash Final: The Hobart Hurricanes are set to take on David Warner’s Sydney Thunder in the final of the Big Bash League 2024-25 season on Monday, January 27, at Bellerive Oval in Hobart, with the match beginning at 1:45 PM IST. Hobart, who topped the league table this season, secured their place in the final by defeating the Sydney Sixers by 12 runs in the qualifier match held in Hobart on January 21.
On the other hand, the Thunder made it to the title decider by first beating the Melbourne Stars in the knockout match and then clinching a four-wicket victory over the Sydney Sixers in the challenger match at Sydney Cricket Ground on Friday, January 24.
While the Hurricanes will enter the final as favorites, they can’t afford to underestimate the Thunder. The two teams met twice during the current season; the first match was washed out due to rain in Sydney, and in the second encounter at Bellerive Oval, the Hurricanes triumphed with a commanding six-wicket win.

BBL Final: Ninja Stadium pitch report
The pitch at Bellerive Oval in Hobart is known to be bowler-friendly, especially in the early overs. It offers seam movement and bounce, which can challenge batsmen. However, as the game progresses, the pitch tends to settle down, providing consistent pace and bounce, making it easier for batsmen to score runs. Spinners might not find much turn, so they’ll need to rely on variations and accuracy. Teams chasing have had a slight edge at this venue, making bowling first a popular choice for captains winning the toss. Overall, it’s a balanced pitch that can produce exciting, competitive cricket.
