The Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Stars will face each other in Match No. 35 of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2022-23 on Monday, January 9. The match will take place at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart.

The Hurricanes, led by Matthew Wade, are precariously placed sixth in the points table with six points and a net run rate of -0.588. Their bowlers haven’t been great in the last two matches. After the Adelaide Strikers chased down 230 against them, the Melbourne Renegades overcame a target of 163 against the Hurricanes.

The Hurricanes lost the match by six wickets and are on a two-match losing streak. A number of their batters scored in their 20s, but none could make their starts count. Sam Harper’s 89 made sure that the Hurircanes’ bowlers weren’t allowed any breathing space.

The Stars, captained by Adam Zampa, on the other hand, are placed at the bottom of the points table with a net run rate of -0.516. They haven’t had much to cheer for in the tournament and will go into the next game on the back of a six-wicket defeat to the Sydney Sixers.

After being put in to bat first, the Stars scored 173/5 on the back of Marcus Stoinis’ 28-ball 52 with seven fours and two sixes. However, James Vince scored an unbeaten 91 and helped the Sixers win with one ball to spare.
