MCG Stadium T20 records BBL: Melbourne Cricket Ground T20 records and highest successful run chase in Big Bash League

The iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) will host its first Big Bash League (BBL) 2022-23 match on Friday, between the home side Melbourne Stars and Hobart Hurricanes.

A lackluster batting performance by the Stars in their opening match of the season against Sydney Thunder, resulted in their one-wicket loss at the Manuka Oval. They will be itching to get off the mark come Friday, but will face the steep challenge from the Heat.

Hobart Hurricanes on the other hand, have quite a few explosive batters in their mix this season, and will eye on their second-ever BBL title this season.
