Akshay Thakur - Thursday, Dec 18, 2025Melbourne Stars vs Hobart Hurricanes Match 5, Live Streaming Details: The 5th match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2025-26, between STA and HUR, will begin at 01:45 PM IST on December 18th at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne, Australia.
This Big Bash League (BBL) match features two teams boasting some of the biggest match-winners in the T20 format.
The Melbourne Stars' main strength lies in their star all-rounders Glenn Maxwell and captain Marcus Stoinis, while in the bowling department, Haris Rauf's express pace can dismantle any batting lineup.
The Hobart Hurricanes possess explosive batsmen like Matthew Wade and Tim David, and their bowling attack, led by Nathan Ellis and Riley Meredith, is highly effective in the death overs.
The battle between the Stars' experienced middle order and the Hurricanes' potent pace attack will be the most exciting aspect of this match. On paper, both teams appear quite balanced, but the home ground advantage and the depth of all-rounders might give Melbourne a slight edge.
