Live BBL final updates: Thunder bat first as Hurricanes chase first T20 title

We’ve flipped the bat (yeah, I know) and Hobart have come up trumps, they’re opting to bowl first. David Warner says he would’ve chosen to bat first anyway.

The Hurricanes are unchanged from the semi-finals and have bowled first every game this year – captain Nathan Ellis feels “like the wicket will get better under lights.”

The Thunder are bringing Ollie Davies into their batting line-up as their only change.

Hobart Hurricanes: 1 Mitch Owen, 2 Caleb Jewell, 3 Matthew Wade (wk), 4 Ben McDermott, 5 Tim David, 6 Nikhil Chaudhary, 7 Chris Jordan, 8 Nathan Ellis (capt), 9 Cameron Gannon, 10 Peter Hatzoglou, 11 Riley Meredith

Sydney Thunder: 1 David Warner, 2 Jason Sangha, 3 Matthew Gilkes, 4 Sam Billings (wk), 5 Ollie Davies, 6 Chris Green, 7 George Garton, 8 Nathan McAndrew, 9 Tom Andrews, 10 Wes Agar, 11 Tanveer Sangha
