Melbourne Stars (STA) will lock horns with the Hobart Hurricanes (HUR) in the 38th match of the KFC Big Bash 2023-24 season at their home turf, the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground. These two teams last met in the last week of December with the Stars emerging victorious on that occasion in what was a rain-reduced affair.
The upcoming game is an important one for the Stars as they are still in contention for a playoff spot while the Hurricanes stand eliminated, having endured a tough season. However, they will want to end the season on a high and there’s no better way to do that than to get a win.

The pitch at the Melbourne Cricket Ground is a balanced one which has something in it for both the batters and bowlers. It is not a track which deteriorates a lot and hence, the toss is not a big factor. The bigger boundaries ensure that the game is not as high-scoring as most of the matches that we see these days.
