Match Preview:
The Stars, currently placed second in the Big Bash League table, are eager to reclaim the top spot after a narrow defeat to the Sydney Sixers in their last outing. Their batting lineup, spearheaded by Glenn Maxwell’s big-hitting prowess and Joe Clarke’s elegant strokeplay, has the potential to light up the MCG with sixes and fours.
However, their bowling attack, which missed the sting of Nathan Coulter-Nile in the previous game, needs to tighten up against a potent Hurricanes batting order.
The Hurricanes, occupying the fifth position in the standings, are determined to climb the ladder and challenge for the playoffs. Their batting unit, powered by the in-form Ben McDermott and the hard-hitting firepower of D’Arcy Short, is capable of dismantling even the strongest bowling attacks.
The bowling department, led by the pace duo of Riley Meredith and James Faulkner, boasts experience and variety that can restrict the Stars’ free-flowing batting.

Melbourne Cricket Ground Pitch Report:
Batting Friendliness: Generally considered a batsman-friendly pitch, offering good bounce and pace early on. The large boundaries encourage big hitting, and scores tend to be above average.
Bowling Friendliness: However, bowlers can find some assistance later in the innings as the wicket dries out and offers some spin and bounce variation. Spinners can also come into play in the second innings.
Average Scores:
- First Innings: 141
- Second Innings: 124
