HBH vs MLS Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2020-21
Hobart Hurricanes will take on Melbourne Stars in the 23rd match of the Big Bash League. The match will be played at the Bellerive Oval and is scheduled to begin at 5.05 PM local time.
4 wins in 6 games, Hobart Hurricanes will be very satisfied with their performance in the BBL 2020-21. They’re coming back from a nervy 1 run victory over Brisbane Heat and are placed as the 3rd ranked team in the points table.
Although they will be happy with what has transpired till now, there will be few concerns about the form of their batsmen.
In D Arcy Short, Ben McDermott, David Malan, Peter Handcomb, Colin Ingram, Tim David, they have pretty solid batting line up but unfortunately, none of them have been consistent. If they don’t start scoring runs collectively, it’ll be very difficult for Hobart Hurricanes to continue their winning run.
Hobart Hurricanes owe their success to their bowlers who’ve been sensational. Riley Meredith, Scott Boland, Nathan Ellis and all round option of D Arcy Short have performed brilliantly.
Melbourne Stars with 2 wins and 2 losses are placed at the 5th spot in the points table. They’ve been pretty good in all their matches apart from their last game against Sydney Thunders, where they were thrashed by 75 runs.
Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell and Nicolas Pooran are their three top batsmen. All of them have been in good touch too. Players like Hilton Cartwright, Nic Maddinson and Ben Dunk bring in a lot of stability in their batting order.
The bowling is also doing good with Billy Stalake, Zahir Khan, Adam Zampa and Liam Hatcher.
Taking about this match, both teams are on par with each other in terms of batting but Hurricanes have a slightly better bowling line up which gives them an edge over the Stars.

Hobart offers one of the best surfaces to bat in Australia. The ball will come nicely on to the bat and the batsmen will enjoy batting here. In the second innings though, the pitch will get slightly slower which will bring the spinners into play.

Hobart Hurricanes Team News & Playing 11
HBH Team News
Hobart Hurricanes have announced the 17 man squad to take on Melbourne Stars tomorrow. Sandeep Lamichhane who’s finished its quarantine period has been in the squad in place of Keemo Paul.
HBH Key Players
- David Malan - The no 1 T-20 batsmen looked in decent touch in the last match and scored a gritty 39 of 32 deliveries. With some runs behind him now, he’ll be more fluent and we can expect him to perform even better in the next match.
- Ben McDermott- Ben McDermott has been very consistent for the Hurricanes. He has not got runs in the last two matches but we still feel he’s in very good form and will deliver a solid performance in the next match.
- D Arcy Short - D Arcy Short is a very underrated bowler. He’s a very handy spinner and will definitely trouble the Stars. In terms of batting, we all know he’s a top class batter
HBH Team Form
Hobart Hurricanes are having a good tournament with 4 wins in 6 games but there batsmen are not in good form and we don’t know how long they can continue winning without performing well with the bat
Hobart Hurricanes Predicted Playing 11
D Arcy Short, Dawid Malan, Ben McDermott (wk), Peter Handscomb (c), Colin Ingram, Tim David, James Faulkner, Nathan Ellis, Scott Boland, Wil Parker, Riley Meredith

MLS Team Form
Adam Zampa was found guilty of the level 1 offence and has been handed a one match ban by Cricket Australia. Zampa has accepted the ban thus won’t be the part of Stars team that’ll take on Hobart Hurricanes in BBL 2020.
MLS Key Players
- Marcus Stoinis - Marcus Stonis looked in top form against Sydney Thunder and played a lot of shots in his brief knock of 27. He’s been in good touch of late and we expect him to play a longer innings in the next match.
- Glenn Maxwell - Glenn Maxwell too have been brilliant in this BBL 2020-21. He’s one of the main batsmen of the stars and can be backed to come good against the Hurricanes.
- Zahir Khan - He’s been very economical in all the matches he’s played but hasn’t picked up many wickets. He’s bowling really well though which means the wickets definitely will come his way.
MLS Team Form
Apart from their last game against Sydney Thunders, Melbourne Stars have generally been very good. They have two wins and two losses in their 5 matches and are settled as the 5th ranked team in the points table.
Melbourne Stars Predicted Playing 11
