It was a huge upset—the Stars were overwhelming favourites having come into the match on the back of eight wins from eight in the group stages, while Hobart had managed just three victories.
But despite losing the toss, the Hurricanes began superbly to restrict Melbourne with the ball to a modest total of 141 for eight from their 20 overs, a total which would have been still lower but for a rescue act from Brad Hodge.
And in response they batted aggressively, with Tim Paine and George Bailey helping them safely to the total.
They await the winners of Sydney Sixers vs. Perth Scorchers in the second semi-final on Wednesday.
