Aus T20 League 2023-2024

Match 17: HUR vs STA

Preview 

Match 17 of the Aus-T20 League 2023-2024 will witness the riveting clash between Hobart Hurricanes (HUR) and Melbourne Stars (STA). This match will be played on Thursday evening at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart. HUR registered their maiden win of the season in match 13 where they defeated Melbourne Renegades (REN). STA also won their last match, against Sydney Sixers (SIX) on Boxing Day. 

HUR had been in abysmal form before they secured a win with an over to spare against REN in their final match against REN in their final game before Christmas. They will be keen to continue the winning momentum and make it two wins on the bounce.

STA got their campaign up and running with an impressive win over the SIX on Boxing Day. It was a spectacular team performance and they will now travel to Hobart believing they can defeat anyone after that morale boosting win.
