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.

Topmost Picks for MS vs HH Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Hobart Hurricanes

• Caleb Jewell – Caleb Jewell has struggled with his form this season and must deliver a strong start.
• Nathan Ellis – Nathan Ellis took wickets but was expensive as well in the last match, 3-42 in his 4 overs.

Top Picks – Melbourne Stars

• Glenn Maxwell – Glenn Maxwell adds X-factor to this lineup and will look to add quick runs, scoring 90 runs off 52 balls.
• Mark Steketee –  Mark Steketee did not have a great game in his last outing, but we are going to stick with him because with 5 wickets

MS vs HH Probable Winners:

Both teams will be pressed to win this game and remain in contention for the playoffs. The Hobart Hurricanes have been inconsistent over the last two weeks, and the middle order needs to take more responsibility to provide a strong performance. The Melbourne Stars have won their last three games and are gaining momentum, which gives them an advantage. Considering the team combination, Melbourne Stars is expected to win this match.
