Melbourne Stars vs Hobart Hurricanes Chance of Winning

Melbourne Stars would be hoping for a better start to the season than last year as they started the campaign with five straight defeats last term but they managed to turn things around and won five games in a row and made the playoffs last season. They were knocked out by Sydney Thunder in the playoffs.

Unlike their opponents, Hobart Hurricanes dominated the group stages last season as they won the championship last season. In the opening game they went head to head against Sydney Thunder and they won the game by four wickets. As per our calculations, Hobart Hurricanes are favourites in the upcoming game.

Glenn Maxwell was sensational last season and would be hoping to have a similar impact this season. Last season he scored 325 runs with an average of 54.16 which makes us believe he will score well in the upcoming game.

Tim David was instrumental in the last campaign as he ended the season with 254 runs with an average of 42.33. He was solid in ILT20 and even though he did not have a great game in the last outing, we expect him to do well in the upcoming game.
