This was their second title in the 9 editions of this league.

The Hurricanes have been a dominant side as they have always been a threatening side having players like Mathew Wade, D’Arcy Short and Jofra Archer. They have made it to the qualifiers multiple times but have always failed to grad opportunities at the right moments.

The first match of the 10th edition is to be played at Hobart. The bat flip is won by the Sixers and they have chose to bowl first.
