Commentary

Hello everyone! Welcome to Sportskeeda's ongoing live coverage of the Big Bash League, 2024-25! Melbourne Stars will take on Hobart Hurricanes in Match 40, the final match of the league stage, at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground. Bringing all the T20 action to you from this game is the commentary pair of Bidipto and Sourabh.

This is it! The last fixture of the league phase and we have the fate of two teams, hanging in the balance! One of them, with everything in their own hands, is none other than Melbourne Stars. With 8 points from 9 matches, all they need, is to win this and go through to the finals. The other is Perth Scorchers, who don't have a game left, but are also on 8 points, with a superior net run rate. If the Stars, lose, they qualify. That's the equation!

Melbourne Stars are coming into this match at the back of 4 consecutive wins. Those 4 wins have helped immensely to keep their hopes alive. Their skipper, Marcus Stoinis, has led the charge with the bat, scoring 264 runs up to now at a strike rate of 127.53, including a fifty. Mark Steketee and Peter Siddle have both taken 11 wickets up to now for them, at economy rates of 7.00 and 7.06, respectively. It is the highest for any Stars bowler. But the man doing all the heroic work for the side in the last two games with the bat, Glenn Maxwell, will be the key once again!

Standing in the way of the Stars and a place in the finals, is table-toppers Hobart Hurricanes. They have booked a spot in The Qualifier at home and are assured of a second chance to reach The Final, should they lose the former match. Their only loss came in their very first game! With the bat, their top run scorer is opening batter Mitchell Owen. He has amassed 270 runs at a strike rate of 182.43 with a hundred in there. Bowling-wise, fast bowler Riley Meredith is their leading wicket taker with 11 scalps at an economy of 8.76. Will we see them test their bench strength in this contest?

These two teams are meeting for the first time this season. It cannot get any bigger for the Stars, who have destiny in their own hands! So, in front of their home fans, will the register the most important victory of this campaign up to now, or will the leader of the pack shine through again, just before the finals? Let's find out! Toss and teams news will come up.
