Team news:
Melbourne Stars: Melbourne Stars lost the derby with the Renegades, and are in a bit of a bother now. No Stars batsmen looked in firm control to put the foot down and accelerate against the Renegades, despite four of them passing 20 in their innings. Off to a flying start with 21 in the first two overs, Stars lost Dan Lawrence. 16 was all they could eke out in the next three overs before the other opener Thomas Rogers was sent back to the pavilion. Glenn Maxwell was brilliant in his short stay, Marcus Stoinis never got going, and Beau Webster made a scratchy 29 from 34 balls.
Melbourne Stars Key Players
- Glenn Maxwell- of the players to have hit over 200 runs so far in BBL 2023-24, only one player has done so with a higher strike rate than the skipper’s 172.95.
- Hilton Cartwright- the middle-order batter has been a consistent run scorer for the Stars this campaign and top-scoured with 38 runs from 30 balls against Melbourne Renegades.
- Nathan Coulter-Nile- the experienced bowling all-rounder took two wickets within three balls when he dismissed Jake Fraser-McGurk and Jordan Cox in the Melbourne derby.
- Scott Boland- although the right-arm fast bowler is in the Australia squad for the First Test against West Indies, he has been given permission to play in this match and has three wickets from his two BBL appearances this season.
Probable XI: Thomas Rogers, Daniel Lawrence, Beau Webster, Glenn Maxwell(c), Marcus Stoinis, Hilton Cartwright, Imad Wasim, Peter Handscomb(w), Nathan Coulter-Nile, Joel Paris, Scott Boland

Hobart Hurricanes: Hobart Hurricanes’ fortunes nosedived after a tense 1-run defeat to Heat in a rain-marred encounter down in Hobart. An inspiring 95 from Ben McDermott went in vain at the Adelaide Oval, as Strikers romped home for a 5-wicket victory. And a scintillating innings from southpaw Jake Weatherald, who came in as a substitute for Chris Lynn, laid waste to their hopes of winning the reverse fixture at Hobart.
Hobart Hurricanes Key Players
- Ben McDermott- the 29-year-old keeper-batter has already hit two unbeaten half-centuries against Sydney Thunder and Adelaide Strikers since the start of 2024.
- Macalister Wright- the right-hander is expected to bat at number three in this game and he top-scored for the Hurricanes against the Strikers in Match 33.
- Nathan Ellis- the captain has been a consistent performer for the Hurricanes across this campaign and his variations will work well at the MCG.
- Chris Jordan- the experienced bowling all-rounder dismissed the leading run scorer in the tournament, Matthew Short, and he has taken eight wickets across the competition.
Probable XI: Ben McDermott, Matthew Wade(w), Macalister Wright, Caleb Jewell, Nikhil Chaudhary, Tim David, Corey Anderson, Chris Jordan, Patrick Dooley, Nathan Ellis(c), Riley Meredith
Hobart Hurricanes Squad: Ben McDermott, Matthew Wade(w), Macalister Wright, Caleb Jewell, Nikhil Chaudhary, Tim David, Corey Anderson, Chris Jordan, Patrick Dooley, Nathan Ellis(c), Riley Meredith, Peter Hatzoglou, Mitchell Owen, Billy Stanlake

Melbourne Stars vs Hobart Hurricanes Match Prediction
If both sides had continued their strong form from early January then this game could have been a real play-off for a place in the next stage but due to poor results, this game no longer has the same rewards up for grabs. The Stars and the Hurricanes have both been over-reliant on certain individuals with the Stars getting most of their wins courtesy of big hitting from Glenn Maxwell. Our prediction is for Maxwell to perform and for Melbourne Stars to get the victory.
We expect the Melbourne Stars to win this match.
