The Hurricanes and Melbourne Stars have combined to produce an inordinate amount of matches with close finishes, including:

• 16 January 2016, Blacktown ISP Oval: On a crumbling pitch, criticised earlier in the Australian summer for its sub-standard preparation,{{Cite web|title=Hesson unhappy with 'Abu Dhabi' pitch {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/20539071/mike-hesson-unhappy-abu-dhabi-pitch|website=www.espncricinfo.com|language=en|access-date=2020-05-18}} the Stars crawled to a first innings total of 7/96 before fighting back to have the Hurricanes at 4/49 in the twelfth over of the run chase. An unbroken stand of 48 runs from the next 51 balls between Corinne Hall and Amy Satterthwaite steered Hobart out of trouble, with Hall scoring a single on the final delivery to secure victory for the 'Canes.{{Cite web|title=Full Scorecard of Melbourne Stars Women vs Hobart Hurricanes Women 50th Match 2016 - Score Report {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/18042/scorecard/896533/hobart-hurricanes-women-vs-melbourne-stars-women-50th-match-womens-big-bash-league-2015-16|website=www.espncricinfo.com|language=en|access-date=2020-05-18}}
• 20 January 2017, Blundstone Arena: In a rain-affected encounter, Hobart posted a first innings total of 3/115 off 14 overs. Chasing a revised target of 98 from twelve overs, Melbourne lost 4/7 late in the match (including the wicket of Emma Inglis for 51 off 31) to leave a required twelve runs from the last two balls for victory. Jess Cameron proceeded to hit a six off the penultimate legal delivery before Hurricanes off-spinner Amy Satterthwaite bowled a front-foot no-ball while also conceding a four on what would have otherwise been the final ball of the innings. With Satterthwaite having to bowl the final delivery again, Cameron scored the remaining single needed to pull off an unlikely six-wicket win for the Stars.{{Cite web|title=Full Scorecard of Hobart Hurricanes Women vs Melbourne Stars Women 52nd Match 2017 - Score Report {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/18042/scorecard/1064713/hobart-hurricanes-women-vs-melbourne-stars-women-52nd-match-womens-big-bash-league-2016-17|website=www.espncricinfo.com|language=en|access-date=2020-05-18}}
• 21 January 2017, Blundstone Arena: The following morning, on the last day of the WBBL|02 regular season, the Stars and Hurricanes met again—this time in what was effectively a quarter-final knockout match with the winner progressing to the semi-finals and the loser being eliminated from the tournament.{{Cite web|title=WBBL{{!}}02: The finals equation|url=https://www.cricket.com.au/news/wbbl02-finals-run-home-calculation/2017-01-20|website=cricket.com.au|language=en|access-date=2020-05-18}} Meg Lanning made 81 runs for the Stars in the first innings, earning Player of the Match honours, but was dismissed in the 19th over by a stunning Julie Hunter catch at square leg.{{Cite web|title=Hunter pulls off stunning catch|url=https://www.hobarthurricanes.com.au/video/hunter-catch/2017-01-21|website=Hobart Hurricanes|language=en|access-date=2020-05-18}} A spell of 3/11 off four overs by Kristen Beams was not enough to defend the target of 136 as the Hurricanes scored the winning runs (through Corinne Hall again) with four wickets in hand and one ball remaining.{{Cite web|title=Full Scorecard of Melbourne Stars Women vs Hobart Hurricanes Women 56th Match 2017 - Score Report {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/18042/scorecard/1064717/hobart-hurricanes-women-vs-melbourne-stars-women-56th-match-womens-big-bash-league-2016-17|website=www.espncricinfo.com|language=en|access-date=2020-05-18}}

The Hurricanes and Sydney Sixers have met in two semi-finals:

• 22 January 2016, Melbourne Cricket Ground: In a match initially shortened to 14 overs per side due to rain, the higher-ranked Hurricanes struggled in the first innings, managing a score of just 8/86. Further rain delays meant the Sixers' target was revised to 55 runs from eight overs, under the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method. Sydney cruised to victory with all ten wickets in hand and ten balls remaining. Veteran off-spinner Lisa Sthalekar was named Player of the Match for her bowling figures of 3/9 from three overs.{{Cite web|title=Recent Match Report - Hobart Hurricanes Women vs Sydney Sixers Women 2nd Semi-Final 2016 {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/18042/report/896549/hobart-hurricanes-women-vs-sydney-sixers-women-2nd-semi-final-womens-big-bash-league-2015-16|website=www.espncricinfo.com|language=en|access-date=2020-05-19}}
• 25 January 2017, The Gabba: Acting captain Alyssa Healy belted 77 runs off 45 balls to help the Sixers to 6/169 in the first innings. In reply, the Hurricanes were skittled for a miserly 66 runs, setting a new WBBL record for lowest all out total. The 103-run margin also set a new WBBL record for the largest victory by a team batting first.{{Cite web|title=Recent Match Report - Sydney Sixers Women vs Hobart Hurricanes Women 2nd Semi-Final 2017 {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/18042/report/1064719/sydney-sixers-women-vs-hobart-hurricanes-women-2nd-semi-final-womens-big-bash-league-2016-17|website=www.espncricinfo.com|language=en|access-date=2020-05-19}}

The Sixers defeated the Hurricanes in their first eleven encounters, setting a WBBL record for the longest head-to-head winning streak. The Hurricanes finally defeated the Sixers on their twelfth attempt:

• 20 November 2019, North Sydney Oval: With captain Ellyse Perry sidelined due to a shoulder injury, the Sixers faltered early to a score of 5/30. A resurgence, led by Marizanne Kapp's unbeaten 55 off 40 balls, helped Sydney to a total of 7/134. Hobart's chase got off to a shaky start as they found themselves down 4/22 after five overs. A healthy partnership between batters Nicola Carey and Corinne Hall came to an end in the 15th over when Hall was spectacularly caught by former Hurricanes player Erin Burns in the outfield.{{Cite web|title=Erin Burns speaks about unbelievable catch against Hurricanes|url=https://www.sydneysixers.com.au/video/erin-burns-classic-catch-wbbl-05-sydney-sixers-hobart-hurricanes-north-sydney-oval/2019-11-21|website=Sydney Sixers|language=en|access-date=2020-05-19}} With 44 runs required from the final 33 deliveries, Carey went on to make 55 not out while a quickfire 29 by Chloe Tryon sealed victory for the Hurricanes with five wickets in hand and ten balls remaining. In addition to snapping their elongated head-to-head losing streak, the win set a new mark for Hobart's highest successful run chase.{{Cite web|title=Women's Big Bash League - Hobart Hurricanes Women Cricket Team Records & Stats {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/team/highest_innings_totals.html?id=720&team=5649&type=trophy|website=Cricinfo|access-date=2020-05-19}} Belinda Vakarewa, who sliced through the Sixers' top-order, was named Player of the Match for her bowling figures of 4/19.{{Cite web|title=Hobart beat Perry-less Sixers in WBBL|url=https://7news.com.au/sport/cricket/hobart-beat-perry-less-sixers-in-wbbl-c-566550|date=2019-11-20|website=7NEWS.com.au|language=en|access-date=2020-05-19}}
