Hobart Hurricanes have performed better than their league position shows but they can not spend the whole season feeling sorry for themselves. With a strong batting line-up, we expect them to get a win in this match.
Melbourne Stars have won only one game in this competition since beating the Hurricanes in Match 4. They should be competitive again in this match but will come up against some very strong batters

Hobart Hurricanes Team News & Playing 11
HUR Team News
Left-arm wrist spinner Patrick Dooley injured his finger in the warm up ahead of the defeat against Melbourne Renegades and it would be a surprise if he is fit for this match. After losing Jimmy Neesham and Shadab Khan to international call-ups, the Hurricanes are looking to get a settled team together as soon as possible.
HUR Key Players
- Ben McDermott- the opener has formed a strong partnership with Caleb Jewell and they put on 49 runs inside six overs in the last match. McDermott has over 3200 T20 runs.
- Matthew Wade- the captain has scored only 38 runs from his last three innings but is still the highest run scorer in this campaign for the Hurricanes. He always goes for his shots irrespective of the game situation.
- Riley Meredith- the quick bowler was expensive but still picked up a wicket on Saturday. He dismissed the dangerous Martin Guptill and Meredith is always a wicket taking threat.
Hobart Hurricanes have not put together a run of wins in this tournament and come into this game looking to avoid their fourth defeat in five BBL matches

Melbourne Stars Team News & Playing 11
STA Team News
Compared to other teams, Melbourne Stars have been able to field nearly their full team throughout this campaign. Glenn Maxwell and Joe Burns remain long-term absentees and no one has joined them in the treatment room since their last match.
STA Key Players
- Joe Clarke- the keeper-batter has been very good behind the stumps all season and hit 101 not out in the fixture against Hobart Hurricanes earlier in the tournament.
- Marcus Stoinis- the top order batting all-rounder has found his form over the last few games. He hit seven fours and two sixes in his last innings.
- Luke Wood- although he has leaked runs across the tournament, the wickets keep on coming for the English left-arm pace bowler. He got the wicket of the in-form Jordan Silk on Friday.
The Sixers have lost only one of their last seven games in BBL 2022-23, a run which has taken them to the top position.
Melbourne Stars Predicted Playing 11
Joe Clarke (wk), Thomas Rogers, Hilton Cartwright, Marcus Stoinis, Beau Webster, Nick Larkin, Campbell Kellaway, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Luke Wood, Trent Boult
