Sydney Thunder captain David Warner and Hobart Hurricanes captain Nathan Ellis in Hobart ahead of the BBL Final. Picture: Linda Higginson. The Thunder will hope the backs-against-the-wall mentality which has been the cornerstone of their campaign can help them silence the purple army at Ninja Stadium on Monday night.

Hobart Hurricanes have backed the same XI that carried them into their first Big Bash Final in seven years to lift them to a maiden title in tonight's KFC BBL|14 decider against Sydney Thunder.
