Pre-Match Analysis:

Melbourne Stars fought like warriors defending the lowest score of 122 runs against Sydney Thunder however unfortunately lost the game on the final ball which went for byes. Earlier their batters played loose strokes which resulted in settling for a marginal score. Credit to the bowlers as they bowled with a lot of heart with Nathan Coulter Nile standing out, picking up 3 wickets. Trent Boult who played his first BBL game chipped in with 2 wickets. They have an advantage here as they play in front of their home crowd.

Hobart Hurricanes have revamped the side for this season by signing Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, and Jimmy Neesham as their overseas players. Matthew Wade will again take charge of the side, with Ben McDermott and Nathan Ellis named vice-captains. They were knocked in the Eliminator by Adelaide Strikers last season by 22 runs. Ben McDermott was remarkable with the bat, scoring 577 runs. D’Arcy Short and Matthew Wade too had a good outing. Pakistan star Shadab Khan is a value-added addition to the side who creates magic with his all-round prowess. Asif Ali has been included for his finishing abilities.
