After losing the season’s first five matches, who would have guessed that the Melbourne Stars would make it to the playoffs? It’s heartbreaking for Perth Scorchers supporters as their team is eliminated from the competition. Maxwell’s brilliance with the bat in the first innings, along with the Stars’ excellent bowling, kept the Hobart Hurricanes batters hunting for runs and preventing them from settling at the crease.
With 17 runs off the opening over, the Hobart Hurricanes got off to a strong start in the run chase. However, in the second over of the game, they lost the wickets of Wakim and Jewell. Mitch Owen began his innings in his own manner, hitting sixes and fours, but was unable to extend his innings today, leaving after scoring 38 runs off 17 balls. During the powerplay, they lost their first three wickets.
Stoinis pulled off a blinder by racing backwards for dismissing Caleb Jewell. With tonight’s triumph, the Stars maintain their previous record of eight BBL matches won in a row, preventing the Hurricanes from breaking the mark, which stands at seven victories in a row. The Stars fielded brilliantly tonight, and they made a few excellent catches.
Nikhil attempted to repair some damage in the middle, but the rate that was required was too high for the Hurricanes batters to handle. Ellis delivered a quickfire innings of 40 runs in 22 balls, but it was too late. The Hobart Hurricanes finish first in theย standings, with a negative net run rate. So, following tonight’s victory, theย Melbourne Starsย will meet theย Sydney Thunderย in theย Knockout Match.
