THE LOWDOWN
HOBART HURRICANES
- Hobart Hurricanes may be coming into this one on the back of two losses in a row, but they boast a 100% record at home so far in this season’s men’s BBL, winning all of their three games played in Tasmania.
- The Hurricanes have not been badly affected by the exodus of players from the BBL to either the SA20 or ILT20 and this should play in their favour going forward.
MELBOURNE STARS
- Melbourne Stars were put to the sword by Sydney Sixers and specifically James Vince last time out, losing by six wickets, meaning they remain bottom of the table on just four points.
- To make matters worse for the Stars, they will lose Trent Boult for the remainder of the competition as the New Zealand pacer heads off to play in the IL20.
THE PREDICTION
If Hobart Hurricanes are to make it into the play-offs, they simply must continue winning at home with their terrible form on the road putting them under extra pressure. However, this represents a good opportunity for them to gain two points. Melbourne Stars have disappointed hugely across the tournament so far and a lack of real star quality within their squad has taken its toll. Back Hobart at Blundstone Arena, to inflict further misery upon the Stars and win this game.
