MS vs HH key Players

Nathan Ellis

Captain Nathan Ellis fought alone in the first game. He got runs down the order to get Hobart at least above 50 but the overall performance from his teammates was pretty poor. He is leading from the front and his performances could inspire his teammates to support and build.

Glenn Maxwell

Tough times call for some inspiration. Stars, in Glenn Maxwell have possibly the best Aussie T20 Cricketer and they will badly be wanting him to stand up and make an impact.
