Team Performance
Hobart Hurricanes: The Hurricanes are absolutely flying right now in BBL 2025–26, sitting second on the table with three wins from four games and looking every bit like genuine contenders. After that early loss, they’ve bounced back brilliantly with two straight wins, and their Boxing Day victory over Perth really showed what they’re about – bowlers doing the business and Tim David playing a match-winning knock before retiring hurt, which earned him Man of the Match. Sure, David’s injury means he’ll likely miss the next few games, but with Matthew Wade and Beau Webster back in the side, they’ve got plenty of firepower and depth to cover it. The squad looks settled, confident, and carrying serious momentum – honestly, they’re the kind of team no one wants to face right now when they’re in this sort of form.
Melbourne Renegades: The Melbourne Renegades have had a pretty average start to BBL 2025–26 and are sitting down in 8th place with one win and one loss from two games. Their last match was a bit of a shocker really, they lost the toss, couldn’t get enough runs on the board, and then got chased down pretty easily. You’d have to say the confidence would be a bit low after that sort of performance. Bringing in Caleb Jewell is a decent call since he knows the Hobart wicket inside out, but they’re going to need way more than just local knowledge to compete here. Against a Hurricanes team playing this well, the Renegades need to put together a proper all round effort if they want any chance of pulling off an upset.

HBH vs MLR Today Match Pitch Report
The Bellerive Oval pitch today should be pretty decent for cricket. Early on, the quick bowlers will get a bit of help with the new ball, but once it settles down it becomes a fairly good batting track. You’re probably looking at scores somewhere between 160 and 180 being competitive. The big thing here is the toss though. Teams chasing have won about 70% of matches recently at this ground, so whoever wins the toss will almost certainly bowl first. It just seems to be the way to go at Bellerive these days.
