Women's Big Bash League 2021: Match 6, Melbourne Stars Women vs Hobart Hurricanes Women - Probable 11s, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report, Match Prediction and Live Streaming Details

The Melbourne Stars and Hobart Hurricanes will lock horns in the sixth match of the WBBL on Tuesday at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart.

The Hurricanes, led by Rachel Priest, haven’t had the best of starts to their campaign in the 2021 WBBL. The team has lost its first two matches against the Melbourne Renegades and Sydney Sixers. In their previous game, the Sixers beat them by five wickets.

Richa Ghosh scored 46, but the Hurricanes could only set the Sixers a target of 126 to chase down. Thereafter, Shafali Verma’s 57 blew them away. Spinner Molly Strano picked up three wickets, but she didn’t get a whole lot of support from the other bowlers.

The Stars, captained by Meg Lanning, are also yet to register their maiden win in the WBBL. The Stars lost to the Sixers by six wickets to begin their campaign. In the rain-curtailed 11-over game, the team failed to defend 99 as the Sixers chased the target down with four balls left.
