Canes face a challenging task as they prepare to face the Sixers in the BBL final, with crucial spots on the line. The Sydney Sixers will host the Hobart Hurricanes tonight, but the Canes are dealing with some setbacks. Skipper Nathan Ellis is out for the rest of the tournament due to a hamstring injury, and another Hobart pacer, Chris Jordan, is also racing against time to recover. The Sixers, on the other hand, are without their star opener Babar Azam, who is returning to Pakistan to prepare for the T20 World Cup. This decision comes amidst speculation about a controversial disagreement between Azam and Sixers star Steve Smith during a recent match. Fox Cricket's Mark Waugh even called for the Sixers to drop Azam, who hasn't been in top form with the bat. Ultimately, the club didn't have to make a decision, as Azam chose to return home, and the Sixers were content to let him go, with potentially two finals left to play. Dan Hughes is expected to replace Azam at the top of the order. The first ball is set to be bowled at 7:15 pm AEDT, and all the action will be streamed live on FOX CRICKET, available on Kayo Sports. Don't miss out on the thrilling BBL final!
