Ben Duckett was once again solid against Melbourne Renegades in the last game as he scored 21 off 14 balls. So far this season Duckett has scored 243 with an average of 34.71 which makes us believe he will score well in the upcoming game.

Tim David did not have a great start to the tournament but he has single handedly won three of the last four matches which included two half centuries. We expect David to continue his form and score well in the upcoming game.

Melbourne Stars vs Hobart Hurricanes Betting Odds

Hobart Hurricanes to have a better opening partnership than Melbourne Stars

Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Stars head into this game after both sides had contrasting starts to the campaign. Hobart Hurricanes lost the opening game this term but managed to turn things around as they have been unbeaten in the last eight matches which includes seven wins and have confirmed a top two spot this season. On the other hand, Melbourne Stars struggled in the first half of the campaign as they lost each of the first five games and looked down and out. Since then Melbourne Stars have won four games on the bounce and another win would seal a playoff spot this term. What makes this tip so enticing is the fact that even though Melbourne Stars have won the last four games, in all four matches they have conceded a bigger opening partnership which makes us believe Hobart Hurricanes would end up having a better opening stand in the upcoming game.
