THE LOWDOWN

HOBART HURRICANES

  • Hobart Hurricanes picked up a crucial victory at Bellerive Oval two days before Christmas, beating Melbourne Renegades by six wickets after managing to chase down 184 with one over to spare.
  • The experienced Matthew Wade played a crucial hand at the top of the order, blasting 82 from just 50 balls, supported by a super 63 from Macalister Wright which included five 4s and as many 6s

MELBOURNE STARS

  • Melbourne Stars fans were treated to a Christmas miracle on Boxing Day as their lowly side stunned the high-flying Sydney Sixers, beating them by four wickets at the SCG in a thrilling contest.
  • Pakistan overseas bowlers Usama Mir and Haris Rauf took six wickets between them, helping to restrict the Sixers to 154/8, which the visitors chased down in the final over of the match, Hilton Cartwright playing the role as finisher with 47 not out.

THE PREDICTION

Melbourne Stars will desperately hope that their Boxing Day triumph can serve as a springboard for them moving forwards, but they’ve been dealt a tough hand with this next fixture. Hobart are a force to be reckoned with at the Bellerive Oval and their domestic players have worked hard for a long period of time to perfect their skills on this particular ground. In a game that could well go right into the last over before a winner is determined, backing the Hurricanes has to be favoured.
