The Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2025 rolls on as Hobart Hurricanes Women lock horns with Sydney Sixers Women in Match 19 at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart, on Saturday, November 22. The Hurricanes enter this contest as the team to beat, while the Sixers are desperately looking for consistency after an uneven start to their campaign.
Hobart Hurricanes have been unstoppable so far, opening their season with five consecutive wins and sitting comfortably at the top of the points table. Their previous meeting with the Sixers ended in a dominant six-wicket win, driven by Hayley Silver-Holmes’ brilliant bowling and a composed batting performance.
Sydney Sixers, meanwhile, are coming off a crushing 111-run defeat against the Melbourne Stars. With only two wins from four games, they stand fifth on the table and will need a strong comeback to stay competitive in the tournament.

Bellerive Oval Pitch Report
The Bellerive Oval pitch offers a mixed challenge. Early on, pacers enjoy swing and seam movement, making batting in the powerplay slightly tough. However, once the shine fades, the surface becomes more predictable with true bounce, allowing batters to play their strokes freely. Teams usually look to survive the new-ball burst and build partnerships through the middle overs.
