Melbourne Stars vs Hobart Hurricanes: An Exciting MCG Showdown
Ladies and gentlemen, the stage is set for an electrifying clash at the Melbourne Cricket Ground as the Hobart Hurricanes take on the Melbourne Stars. This isn't just another game—it's the final regular season fixture of the Hurricanes' campaign, and there's so much on the line for both teams.
The Hurricanes are riding high with a stunning seven-game winning streak. They've already secured a finals spot and a home qualifier against the Sydney Sixers on Tuesday night. But they're not looking to ease off the gas just yet. This team is determined to extend their record-breaking form and close out the regular season with a bang. Caleb Jewell, fresh from his match-winning 75 and Player of the Match performance, will aim to give the Hurricanes' top order another explosive start. On the bowling front, Nathan Ellis, buoyed by his recent contract extension, continues to be a force to reckon with after his impressive 3/42 against the Brisbane Heat.

As for the Melbourne Stars, this match is their golden ticket to the playoffs. A win here would see them clinch fourth place and a Knockout match against the Sydney Thunder. The history between these two sides couldn't be closer, with both teams winning four of their last eight encounters. Last year’s meeting at the MCG was one for the Purple Army to remember, with both Ben McDermott and Matthew Wade scoring vital half-centuries to seal the victory. McDermott’s return from a hamstring injury adds another layer of excitement to this year’s rematch.
Adding to the drama, Chris Jordan is working towards full fitness for this pivotal game, and newcomer Cameron Gannon could make his Hurricanes debut. If selected, he’ll receive the honor of donning Hurricanes Cap No. 99.
The match kicks off at 7:15 pm AEDT, promising thrills for fans watching live at the MCG or tuning in via Seven, Fox Cricket, or the many streaming platforms available. Don’t miss it—this is cricket at its finest!
