The 38th match of the ongoing Big Bash League will witness the clash between Melbourne Stars and Hobart Hurricanes on Monday at Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. Both teams have been eliminated from the tournament, but would be eying an uplifting finish to the tournament. 

Melbourne Stars are coming off a defeat from their last game against Melbourne Renegades, they will look forward to having a commanding finish in their home game. Stars were going fine before they were jolted by back-to-back defeats in their last two games. It was evident for Stars to make their way into the playoffs if they had won one of their past two games. Maxwell-led Stars would have a huge task to finish their campaign on a positive note. 

Hobart Hurricanes, on the other hand, have blown hot and cold in this edition of the tournament with their more defeats than wins. They lost their last three games in a row that disturbed their campaign. Nathan Ellis side would hope to hold their head high in pride with the win against Stars. A competitive battle will be unfolding between both teams, hoping to finish the game on a high note. 

Melbourne Stars Probable XI: Thomas Rogers, Daniel Lawrence, Beau Webster, Glenn Maxwell (c), Marcus Stoinis, Hilton Cartwright, Imad Wasim, Peter Handscomb (wk), Nathan Coulter-Nile, Joel Paris, Scott Boland

Hobart Hurricanes Probable XI: Matthew Wade (wk), Caleb Jewell, Macalister Wright, Ben McDermott, Corey Anderson, Nikhil Chaudhary, Tim David, Chris Jordan, Patrick Dooley, Nathan Ellis (c), Riley Meredith
