Top Pick – Bowler
Haris Rauf who got hit for runs in the first 3 overs against Sydney Sixers came back strongly, picking up 3 wickets in the final over. He has got the skill to execute pinpoint yorkers at the death.

Pre-Match Analysis:
Small adjustments in the batting order proved too good for Hobart Hurricanes as they secured their first win in the BBL 13 over Melbourne Renegades by 6 wickets. Matthew Wade who back into the side, bludgeoned a match-winning 82 runs while Macalister Wright, playing in his first game of the competition clobbered 36-ball 63 to steer the side home with 6 balls to spare. Earlier in the innings, Nathan Ellis and Patrick Dooley shared the honors with the ball, picking up 2 wickets apiece. They know the conditions of Bellerive Oval and are hopeful of taking advantage yet again. Currently, they placed themselves at 6th in the standings with 2 points.
After a miserable start to their tournament campaign with 3 straight losses, Melbourne Stars finally opened their account with a grueling 4-wicket win over Sydney Sixers on Tuesday. The Pakistani duo Haris Rauf and Usama Mir wreck havoc, picking up 3 wickets each to keep Sixers for a below-par score of 154 on the board and later the side ace the target in style thanks to a game-changing knock of unbeaten 47* from their premier batter Hilton Cartwright. The man in form Beau Webster displayed another handy innings, adding a useful 35 runs at a healthy strike rate of 109.37. All eyes will be on Glenn Maxwell who is yet to make his mark in the competition, making only 65 runs and picking up a sole wicket. They climbed one step up and occupied 7th position in the standings with 2 points.
