Big Bash League: HH vs MS Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Team, Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The Hurricanes are placed fifth in the table and their only defeat came against the Stars earlier. Their bowlers have been key to their success so far in this tournament. The Hurricanes have McDermott, Faulkner, Miller, Short, Bailey and Qais Ahmad in their team and will be looking to seek revenge for their loss in the earlier game. On the other hand the Stars are placed second and have lost only one game, that too by a narrow margin. Glenn Maxwell after his return has been in stupendous form and Stoinis, Zampa, Maddinson and Lamichhane have complimented him well. This will be an absolute cracker of a contest and given the slowness of the pitch both the teams have enough tools to combat them.
