The Melbourne Stars take on the Hobart Hurricanes in the 38th game of BBL 2023-24. Last time, when both teams met each other, STA won the game with the DLS method. It is a must-win game for STA, while HUR is already out of the tournament even if they win this game.
STA vs HUR: Pitch Prediction
MCG hasn’t been a high run-scoring venue. It is comparatively a challenging wicket for batters in this tournament. Fast bowlers will enjoy exploring on this surface.

STA vs HUR: Dream11 Prediction
Wicketkeepers: It has been a decent season for McDermott so far. And it is expected to finish off with that same vibe.
Batters: Three of the best batters from both teams this season: Cartwright, M. Wright, and D. Lawrence. It is going to be challenging, and what’s more fascinating is to look at how they are going to assess the conditions.
All-rounders: It has been a tournament for all-rounders. Be it a batting wicket or a more challenging bowling wicket, they have been the stars right from the start of this season. Stoinis, Maxwell, Jordan, N. Chaudhary, and Webster.
Bowlers: With the conditions favouring fast bowling, we will go with the in-form N Ellis and Boland.
