HUR vs STA, Team Previews
Hobart Hurricanes
The start of the BBL 2023-24 campaign has been challenging for the Hobart Hurricanes. They are three games down so far. Having lost two matches and managed a single win, the Hurricanes are currently the sixth team in the points table.
But they will take heart from their latest outing against the Melbourne Renegades. In a match where the Hurricanes were required to chase 184 runs, they achieved it in 19 overs, losing only four wickets. The onus is on them to maintain the winning momentum and pick up a couple of points from the match.
Melbourne Stars
Like their opponents, the Stars have also not been off to a good start in the tournament. They have lost three of their four matches, winning one and are currently second to last in the points table.
But the Stars are also coming into the game after a hard-earned victory against the Sixers in the last match. In a closely contested match, the Stars reached the target of 155 runs with three balls remaining and four wickets in hand.
Glenn Maxwell will hope that his unit derives inspiration from that game and put on another solid display.
HUR vs STA, Head-to-head
