BBL 2020-21: Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Thunder fantasy 11 predictions: Top Dream11 picks for HBH vs SYT

The 31st match of Big Bash League (BBL) 2020-21 will take place between Hobart Hurricanes (HBH) and Sydney Thunder (SYT). Both the sides will play this clash on January 07 (Thursday) at the Optus Stadium (Perth Stadium) in Perth. The game will kickstart at 12:40 PM (IST) onwards. 

HBH and SYT are amongst the top two sides of this tournament at the third and second positions respectively in the Points Table. However, both the teams are coming to this clash after suffering from a defeat in their previous encounter. The Thunder lost to Brisbane Heat while Melbourne Stars beat the Hurricanes in their last game.

Moreover, the Sydney-based franchise suffered a massive setback after their ace all-rounder Daniel Sams got ruled out from this match. He suffered from a concussion the previous face-off. Adam Milne is expected to replace him in the SYT playing XI. On the other hand, HBH would take the field with an unchanged line-up in Perth.

Let’s look at our fantasy 11 predictions for this clash and here are top picks for HBH vs SYT.
