STA vs HUR Dream11 Prediction for today’s BBL Match 38, Playing XI, Captain and Vice-Captain Picks

The Big Bash League(BBL) 2023-24 stage is almost coming to an end and the last spot is still up for grabs. The Melbourne Cricket Ground(MCG) is set to host another cracker of a contest between Melbourne Stars and Hobart Hurricanes. The Stars will be hoping to win this important game to grab the all important number 4 spot and the Hurricanes who are already eliminated from the contest will not shy away from the chance to spoil the party for the Stars. The last time these sides faced each other the Hurricanes faced a big defeat due to an amazing all round performance from Stars skipper Glenn Maxwell. It will be interesting to see if the stars still increase their chances of making it to the playoffs or will the Hurricanes foil all their plans.

The Melbourne Stars have once again had a very hot and cold season in this tournament and will have to give their best performance in this game. They started this season off by losing 3 games in a row and then came back into the league winning their next four games. However the last two losses against the Sydney Sixers and The Melbourne Renegades have once again made their chances look questionable, especially with the poor net run rate which they have right now.

The Hobart Hurricanes on the other hand have ruined their chances after losing 3 in a row and can only be able to spoil the plans of the Stars. They will still want to go out of this season with a win and think about the next season right now. The last three losses that includes two against the Adelaide Strikers will not give them a lot of confidence, but they will look to finish this season with a powerful performance from their set of powerful players. Nathan Ellis and his boys will be ready for one last roar in this league which will set up the whole contest.

STA vs HUR- Likely pitch conditions

The match will be played at one of the most iconic cricket grounds in Australia known as the Melbourne Cricket Ground(MCG). This ground has a lot of history and has been a part of a lot of great matches. The ground at the G however is another two paced track that will give assistance to both batting and bowling teams. The pitch might skid on in the later half, but the big dimensions of the ground will be difficult to clear for any batter on this ground. This will be a perfect wicket to bat first and set a big total on the board. The big boundaries will also give the bowlers in the second half to stick to their line and lengths.
