The Hobart Hurricanes, who have been the best team all season, are heading into their first grand BBL 14 Final since losing to the Adelaide Strikers in the BBL 7, which they will host on Monday, January 27 at Ninja Stadium. The Hurricanes and the Melbourne Stars are the only two teams who have not yet taken home any Big Bash Title.

Hurricanes in BBL 14 Journey

Interestingly, the Hurricanes in BBL 14 were a force to reckon with. They made an impressive start to their campaign this season. At first, they lost their very initial match against the Melbourne Renegades. However, since that loss, they went on to win their next 7 games in a row, solidifying their position on the BBL 2025 table. They ended the group stages with 7 wins, 2 losses, and 1 NR out of 10 matches played, finishing 1st on the table. And now, they are set to create a storm in the 2025 BBL Final match.

Exciting Qualifier with Sixers

In addition, they also booked their place in the BBL 14 Final after beating the Sydney Sixers in a tight-end matchup. In front of a sold-out home crowd at Ninja Stadium, the Hobart Hurricanes held off a fast-finishing Sydney Sixers team, putting them one victory away from their first Big Bash championship.

The Sixers were in trouble early on as their top order fell to Riley Meredith’s quick pace after being set 174 to win, leaving them with just 13 players to choose from after the loss of Test trio Steve Smith, Todd Murphy, and Sean Abbott.

Chris Jordan gave up just eight runs as the Sixers ended 5-161 on Tuesday night, chasing 7-173 and needing 21 off the final six balls. After arriving at the crease with his team in severe peril at 3-5 in the third over, Jordan Silk offered the Sixers some hope with 57 from 44 balls. Meredith left the Sixers reeling with a stunning opening run in which he reached 152 km per hour. The victory over the Sixers has propelled the Hurricanes back into the BBL14 Final, marking an important chapter in the team’s history.

Which Team Will Be on 2025 BBL Final Match？

The 2025 BBL Final match will be one hell of a spectacle as the Hobart Hurricanes have already qualified for it. Now, the Sydney Sixers play the Sydney Thunder in an important playoff match to determine who will face the Hurricanes in the 2025 BBL Final matchup. There is a very high probability of witnessing a rematch of the Qualifier 1 in the BBL 14 Final on 27th January.
