Melbourne Stars vs Hobart Hurricanes prediction

Consecutive victories have put Melbourne Stars right back in contention when it comes to reaching the summit of this season’s league stage table. Meg Lanning continues to lead the way with her magical 135 against Sydney Sixers still fresh in the memory, whilst Marizanne Kapp’s 93 not out in the Stars’ win over Brisbane Heat served as an ideal send off as she leaves for South Africa duty. English batter Maia Bouchier takes her place, but this should work in Hobart Hurricanes’ favour.

To lose a player of Kapp’s quality, both with bat and ball, not to mention her leadership skills can’t be understated and it significantly weakens Melbourne Stars. That combined with how well Hobart have played over the course of the competition so far makes the visitors worth backing to edge out the Stars in this game.
