Big Bash League 2023 season’s 17th game is set to witness two teams take on each other in need of a win. Hobart Hurricanes (HUR) began their season with two successive losses before winning their first game in the previous encounter.
Melbourne Stars (STA) had a memorable Boxing Day when they beat Sydney Sixers by six wickets. This win helped them get their first points of the season after they rooted bottom of the table.
A win for either side will propel them into the top half of the table. As the games are coming thick and fast both Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Stars cannot afford any more slip-ups. It is a great occasion for each side to play their best cricket and get their BBL 2023 campaign back on track.
