HUR vs STA Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Head to Head Stats and Pitch Report for BBL 2023, Match 17

Melbourne Stars (STA) will lock horns with the Hobart Hurricanes (HUR) in the 17th match of the KFC Big Bash 2023-24 season at their home turf in Bellerive Oval in Hobart. The start of the BBL 2023-24 campaign has been a tough one for the Hobart Hurricanes. 

With three games down, they are in the sixth position on the points table. Two losses and a solitary win have left them with a challenging task ahead. However, their recent performance against the Melbourne Renegades showcased their resilience. Chasing 184 runs, they achieved the target in 19 overs, losing only four wickets. This win could be the catalyst they need to turn their season around.

On the other side, the Melbourne Stars also faced a rocky start during the tournament. With three losses out of four matches, they are currently second to last in the points table. The team, led by Glenn Maxwell, recently secured a hard-earned victory against the Sixers. 

The match went down to the wire, with the Stars reaching the target of 155 runs with three balls remaining and four wickets in hand. Maxwell will be eager to see his team build on this success and put on another solid display against the Hurricanes. As the bottom-of-the-table team battle it out at the Bellerive Oval we can expect a thrilling encounter as both teams will look to spiral upwards in the points table.
