THE LOWDOWN
MELBOURNE STARS
- Defeat by six-wickets in the Melbourne derby this past weekend, ended the Stars’ hopes of reaching the top four with them now trailing fourth-placed Adelaide Strikers by three points with just one game left to play.
- The batters misfired badly, scoring just 137/8 and leaving the Melbourne Stars’ bowling attack with just not enough runs on the board to defend, despite the best efforts of Nathan Coulter-Nile.
HOBART HURRICANES
- Hobart Hurricanes’ eight-wicket thumping at the hands of Adelaide Strikers on their own patch was the performance of a team who are very much out of play-off contention with just six points on the board.
- They’ve not lost their last three games on the bounce and five of their six defeats across the league stage this season have come through them failing to defend their accumulated total after batting first.
THE PREDICTION
With nothing at stake here bar pride, it may afford both sets of players more freedom, particularly the batters to go out and express themselves with no fear of repercussions should they be dismissed early on. In regards of motivation, Melbourne Stars being at home gives them more of a reason to play their best cricket and finish the campaign on a high, so back them to overcome the Hurricanes.
