HUR vs STA Dream11 Prediction: Melbourne Stars vs Melbourne Renegades Match?

Hobart Hurricanes are expected to win this game. Even though both Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Stars are placed at the bottom half of the points table, Hobart Hurricanes are looking more balanced and stronger on paper. In addition, Melbourne Stars will be without their star player Marcus Stoinis, who averages more than 50 against the Hurricanes. Nathan Ellis and his men won both the games at home this season. The Hurricanes are still at a better place in the tournament in comparison to the Stars. Hurricanes have managed to win three out of eight games and are sitting well above Melbourne Stars at 6th in the points table. However, they lost their away game against the Stars earlier and will be looking to make things even in this match.
