Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Stars Preview
The early season schedule has been mighty kind to the Hurricanes as they find themselves with another home game in hand against the Stars.
Unfortunately, the ‘Canes have failed to make good use of their home-field advantage with losses to the Sixers and Scorchers to start the season, and this one doesn’t look any easier against a Stars side that also has plenty to play for.
At 2-2, Melbourne will be eager to kick off this three-game road trip on the right foot before they journey to Brisbane and Perth before the New Year.
So far, the Stars have been a tough side to get a read on, but so long as Glenn Maxwell is swinging the bat in the middle order, Melbourne has to be respected from a betting perspective.
Also worth noting here is the Stars’ 4-1 record in their last five games against Hobart.
Playing on the road will be a challenge, but with the ‘Canes struggling to establish early runs at the top of the order, I’m happy to back the Stars.
