Sydney Thunder vs Melbourne Stars TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SYT vs MLS Match Prediction & Analysis Melbourne Stars have secured their first appearance in the BBL finals since the 2019-20 season by turning around a tough 0-5 start with five consecutive victories. They are now set to compete against third-placed Sydney Thunder in the knockout final at Engie Stadium on Wednesday night. Interestingly, the Stars’ last defeat came against the Thunder on December 28. Since then, under the leadership of their dynamic captain Glen Maxwell, the Stars have been unstoppable. In contrast, the Thunder have shown some irregular performance. Given their current momentum, the Stars will be favorites for this knockout clash. TEAMS PREVIEW Sydney Thunder Preview The Thunder secured their place in the BBL|14 finals with a strong win against the Scorchers at home last week. This is a significant turnaround from last season, where they finished last with only one victory. Unfortunately, the rain-affected Sydney Smash at the SCG on Friday ended their opportunity to vie for a top-two position and a double chance in the playoffs. Throughout the season, the Thunder remained near the top of the standings despite facing several injuries within the team. Up to six players from their original 18-man roster missed games. David Warner has been instrumental in providing the team with regular solid starts, scoring 346 runs in 9 innings. Melbourne Stars Preview After starting the season with five straight losses, the Melbourne Stars have bounced back by winning their last five games, earning an unexpected place in the BBL finals. To clinch their place, they needed to defeat top-ranked Hobart in the final regular-season game. Batting first at the MCG, the Stars posted a formidable 5-219, which paved the way for a 40-run victory over the Hurricanes. Glenn Maxwell has been pivotal in turning the Stars’ fortunes around and proved that once again in the previous game, scoring an explosive unbeaten 76 from just 32 balls, including six sixes. With 297 runs in eight games and a strike rate of 194.11, Maxwell has been the team’s standout performer this season. Captain Marcus Stoinis has also been in excellent form, contributing 296 runs in 10 innings with a strike rate of 130.97, playing a significant role in their resurgence. Weather Conditions The Sydney Showground pitch is expected to offer good bounce and some early seam movement, making it a challenge for batsmen in the initial overs. Fast bowlers can take advantage of the green surface to induce swing and generate pressure.  Batters, once set, can capitalize as the pitch tends to flatten out. Expect scores in the moderate range, as the outfield isn’t the quickest. Spin might become a factor later in the innings as the surface wears, but fast-medium bowlers with variations could be most effective overall. The weather in Sydney will be hot and very windy in the afternoon, which could help the seam bowlers get more swing off the air. SYT vs MLS Pitch Report The average first innings score at the Sydney Showground is 150. The highest total posted here is Brisbane Heat’s 203-5 versus Sydney Thunder in the 2022-23 BBL Eliminator. Both teams will be looking to set a score of around 180 runs to feel secure. Toss: To Bat Given that this is a knockout game, we reckon both teams will look to bat first and try and put on a huge total to get ahead in the game.

HBH vs SYS Match Prediction & Analysis We have entered the final phase in the Big Bash League 2024-25. The league stage is over, and we are in the Qualifier, where the Hobart Hurricanes take on the Sydney Sixers. The Hurricanes have enjoyed a good run this season and finished on top. The side has its batters in good form and shall look to leverage this strength. The Sydney Sixers finished second and shall look to put up a good fight in this game.  The Hobart Hurricanes have enjoyed a clean home record and won all five games. The side will be confident playing at this venue as the players know these conditions well. The Sydney Sixers lost against the Hurricanes earlier this season. Their middle order hasn’t been in the best form in the last few games, and it will be interesting to see if the team can defeat the Hurricanes. TEAMS PREVIEW Hobart Hurricanes Preview Nathan Ellis’ team has been consistent this season and finished on the top of the points table. The team didn’t end the league stage as they would have liked and went down against the Melbourne Stars in their last game by 40 runs. The bowling attack has struggled in the last few games, and Ellis would expect a strong show from his players, especially the bowling attack, and reach the final.  The team expects a strong start from Caleb Jewell and Mitchell Owen in this game, as they will face a strong bowling attack. The middle order is strong, and the side expects good performances from Charlie Wakim, Nikhil Chaudhary, and Ben McDermott as they have added runs in most games. Matthew Wade and Tim David will look to power the team to a big score with their hitting abilities.  Sydney Sixers Preview Moises Henriques’ team shared points with the Sydney Thunder in the last game after rain played spoilsport. The side has finished second on the points table with 14 points. After a good start, they struggled midseason but found their form back in the last few games. It will be a tough contest for the team against the Hurricanes, who are in good form. Henriques would like a strong show from his players after suffering a big loss against the Hurricanes in the league stage.  Steven Smith has batted well this season, and the team expects a good show from him, with Josh Philippe at the top. Henriques will look to steer the innings in the middle order and add runs with Jack Edwards and Jordan Silk. The side enjoys depth in the batting and expects good performances from Lachlan Shaw, Hayden Kerr, and Ben Dwarshuis.  Weather Conditions Hobart will have overcast skies, and batsmen will find the conditions challenging early in the game when the ball does a bit. The ball will come onto the bat nicely, allowing stroke play. The average first-innings score is 158 runs, and a score of 170 or more would be a fighting total at this venue. HBH vs SYS Pitch Report Bellerive Oval, Hobart, is a small venue, and the short square boundaries offer scoring opportunities to the batsmen. The wicket offers early assistance to the fast bowlers, who have done well here. There is little on this surface for the spinners, who have gone for runs.

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :Β Brisbane Heat vs Hobart Hurricanes 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Β January 16 ,Thursday​​ π“πˆπŒπ„ :​ 14:00 PM IST​​​​​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : The Gabba, Woolloongabba, Australiaβ€‹π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : ​​Big Bash League, 2024-25 Can Hurricanes carry their momentum to Brisbane? Brisbane Heat vs Hobart Hurricanes TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. BH vs HBH Match Prediction & Analysis Brisbane Heat are at number 5 in the points table with 3 wins from 8 matches and desperately need a win to stay alive in the race to playoffs. They’ve won 2 of their 4 games at The Gabba. In their last outing here, BRH successfully chased down 174 runs. Colin Munro will expect his bowlers to bounce back in this match after their poor performance in Adelaide in the recent loss. Hobart Hurricanes have won 6 matches on the trot after they lost their opening game. The Hurricanes are in sublime form and will pose a threat to Brisbane’s playoff hopes. TEAMS PREVIEW Brisbane Heat Preview Colin Munro will be under pressure both as a skipper and as a batter. He came in at number 7 in the last match while chasing a massive target of 252 against the Strikers and was out for a duck. He struggled with his strike rate in the previous game at their home ground in Brisbane scoring just 23 off 25 balls while opening the innings. Matt Renshaw and Max Bryant led the Heat to victory in that game. The two have been in great form and have made consistent contributions in the middle order. Nathan McSweeney also looked in good shape in the last match at number 3 and is a key batsman to watch out for. Hobart Hurricanes Preview Hobart Hurricanes will be looking for their 7th straight win as they take on the Heat in Brisbane. The variety in the bowling attack has allowed Hobart to stay on top of the game while bowling first in each of their last three outings. They restricted the opposition to 154, 164, and 186 in their last 3 matches. The bowling returns have improved with every game. Riley Meredith and Billy Stanlake will spearhead the Hurricanes’ pace attack. They’ve also got the experienced Chris Jordan in the squad while being led by a fast-bowling captain in Nathan Ellis. Then there are some promising spinners like Nikhil Chowdhury and Peter Hatzoglou. Weather Conditions It will be clear and sunny in Brisbane on the match day with a high of 35 degrees Celsius. Though there will be rain on the days before the match, we expect clear skies on the match day and a complete and uninterrupted game. BH vs HBH Pitch Report The pitch is known for its pace and bounce and will help the pacers. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20s here is 161 runs. And since the highest successful run chase here was 175 runs, we believe a match-winning total should be something over 180-185 runs. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won all the 4 matches played here so far this season. Hurricanes have been successful while chasing a target in their recent matches while Heat also won their last home game while batting second. Both teams will be looking to bowl first in this match.

Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Sixers, BBLT20, Today Match Prediction

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ : Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Sixers 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 :  January 15 ,Wednesdayβ€‹β€‹π“πˆπŒπ„ :​ 14:00 PM IST​​​​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Adelaide Oval, North Adelaide, Australia π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : ​​Big Bash League, 2024-25 Sydney Sixers aim for the top spot in the points table Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Sixers TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. ADS vs SYS Match Prediction & Analysis Adelaide Strikers will take on Sydney Sixers in their last home game of the season. With just two more games left in their league stage campaign, the Strikers must win both these matches to have a good chance of making the playoffs. Sydney Sixers, on the other hand, will be aiming for the top spot. They seemed to have lost their way with two consecutive losses but the recent win has put them back on the winning track. Sixers had desperately needed that comeback with the bat. They will be taking on an in-form Adelaide batting lineup that recently scored 251 on this ground. Steven Smith’s 121 off 64 balls was the highlight of the Sixers’ recent win at the SCG. TEAMS PREVIEW Adelaide Strikers Preview Matthew Short came into the side in the last match, taking over the captaincy from Alex Ross, and led the Strikers to their second home win. Short scored a brilliant hundred at the top and was part of the 121-run opening stand with Chris Lynn. This is great news for the Strikers. Lynn has been in great form this season, scoring consistently as the opener for the side. However, Short joining him at the top with a brilliant game-changing knock will boost Adelaide’s hopes and confidence. Alex Ross has also been in fine touch at number 5 and is a key player to watch out for. He can lead a great finish for the Strikers along with Jamie Overton in the lower order. Though there has been some inconsistency in the middle order and we’ve seen many changes to the batting lineup, Alex Carey and Ollie Pope are quite experienced players with a lot of skill and we expect them to find their rhythm soon. Sydney Sixers Preview Sydney Sixers will be confident after their recent win. Before this win, they were struggling with the bat and failed to chase down 157 and 162-run targets in their previous two outings. While Steve Smith led the batting effort in the last game, what the Sixers need at the moment is a comeback from Josh Philippe and Kurtis Patterson in the top 3. These two batters have struggled to get going since the last 3 consecutive matches. Their lack of form can hurt the Sydney Sixers big time. This will also put a lot of pressure on Steve Smith if he continues to feature in the XI. Skipper Moises Henriques is a key batsman in the middle order. He has a big role to play at number 4. He was in fine touch in the recent outing and will be hoping to carry the momentum into this game. Ben Dwarshuis batted ahead of Jordan Silk and Jack Edwards in the last game and scored an unbeaten 23 off 7 balls. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy in Adelaide on the match day with a high of 21 degrees Celsius. There are no signs of rain, however, and we can expect a complete T20 match at one of the best venues in Australia. ADS vs SYS Pitch Report It is a balanced wicket that has assisted the bowlers on many occasions in the past. This season we saw a couple of high-scoring games and the pitch has looked much better for batting than previous seasons. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20s played here is 178 runs. The highest total successfully chased on this ground in recent times is 179 runs. We reckon anything over 185 would be a competitive total in this game. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have won 4 of the last 5 matches in BBL 2024-25 at this venue in Adelaide. Both teams have an in-form batting lineup and can post a highly competitive total on this ground.

Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Renegades TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. HBH vs MLR Match Prediction & Analysis This Tuesday, Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Renegades will clash in Match 34 of the BBL 2024-25 at Bellerive Oval. The Hurricanes are sitting comfortably in second place with 11 points from seven games. With five victories under their belt, the Hurricanes have secured a place in the finals. Now, their focus shifts to competing with the Sydney Sixers for the top position and earning the right to host the Qualifier final on home turf. A victory for the Hurricanes over the Renegades ensures that Bellerive Oval will see at least one final next week. On the other hand, the Renegades have slipped to the bottom after their latest defeat to the Stars. While they managed to defeat the Hurricanes in their last encounter, the Hurricanes have been on a five-game winning streak since then, making them the team to watch in this contest.  TEAMS PREVIEW Hobart Hurricanes Preview The Hurricanes briefly claimed the top spot following a dominant home win over the Thunder, but the Sixers edged past them again on Saturday. Even so, the Hurricanes have now won five games in a row, and the Sixers’ triumph over the Scorchers confirmed the Hurricanes’ spot in the BBL|14 finals. Their six-wicket victory against the Thunder also improved their net run rate, which might play a key role in earning them a home final as the tournament reaches its critical phase. A key factor in their success has been Tim David’s red-hot form, with back-to-back blistering half-centuries down the order helping the Hurricanes seal wins against the Thunder and Strikers.  The team’s top six batters have all shown flashes of brilliance at different times, with emerging talent Mitch Owen leading the charge. Owen has racked up 202 runs in six innings, including an unbeaten 101 against the Scorchers – the standout knock of the season so far. Ben McDermott is out injured for this game and has been replaced by Jake Doran. Melbourne Renegades Preview The Renegades’ season has been a mix of highs and lows, starting strong before hitting a rough patch. They won two of their first three games, including victories against the Hurricanes and Scorchers on challenging pitches at Geelong and Marvel Stadium. However, they then suffered three consecutive losses before bouncing back with a win. Unfortunately, that 42-run defeat against the Stars in their recent game is a real setback. It’s knocked them down the rankings, and now making the playoffs looks like a long shot. As they aim to regain momentum, the Renegades will look to Tim Seifert to deliver another strong performance. With 176 runs in eight innings, Seifert is their top run-scorer and can steady the innings or produce a match-winning effort when required. Captain Will Sutherland, who has scored 163 runs in seven innings, has also provided stability and will be expected to anchor the innings. Meanwhile, all-rounder Tom Rogers’ aggressive batting in the lower order has been a valuable asset. His unbeaten 49 off 31 balls against the Perth Scorchers recently helped the Renegades chase down 148 after their top order faltered. Weather Conditions Bellerive Oval typically provides a solid batting track, especially during the early stages of the game. The pitch tends to offer good pace and bounce, giving batters the chance to play freely. While spinners might get some assistance later in the match, particularly if the surface dries out, it’s not usually a major influence. The shorter straight boundaries are an inviting prospect for power hitters. Weather could also come into play, with overcast skies potentially helping swing bowlers.  As for the forecast, the match is expected to be played under mostly cloudy and cool conditions, with no rain predicted. HBH vs MLR Pitch Report The average score batting first at Bellerive Oval in domestic T20s is 167. This season’s highest score at the ground belongs to Hobart Hurricanes who smashed 187-5 in 18.4 overs to overhaul the chase against Adelaide Strikers. Toss: To Bowl Out of the four games held at Bellerive Oval this BBL season, the team chasing the target has come out on top in three. This pattern hints that batting second could give teams an edge, and it wouldn’t be surprising if both captains choose to bowl first after winning the toss.

ADS vs BH Match Prediction & Analysis We have entered the most crucial phase in the Big Bash League 2024-25. The points table is taking shape, and we will have the Adelaide Strikers fighting for their survival as they take on the Brisbane Heat in the 31st game. The Strikers lost the last game against the Hobart Hurricanes and are struggling for form. The Brisbane Heat defeated the Sydney Thunder in the last game, and the side will be confident.  The Adelaide Strikers have had a poor season, and the side has lost five out of seven games. The skipper is injured, which isn’t helping their cause. The Brisbane Heat has won the last three out of four games against the Strikers, which adds to their confidence. A lot rides on the Strikers in this game, and we expect to see them pull out all the punches and win to remain in the hunt for the next round.  TEAMS PREVIEW Adelaide Strikers Preview Alex Ross is leading the side in the absence of Matthew Short. He will have to inspire confidence in the team after their 5-wicket loss against the Hobart Hurricanes in the last game. It has been a poor season for the side, and they have struggled with consistency. It is a must-win game for the side, and Ross wants to get the best out of his players.  Chris Lynn is the key player in the top order, and he must deliver a positive start with D’Arcy Short, as Brisbane Heat have their bowlers in good form. Jake Weatherald, Ollie Pope, and Alex Ross are good players in the middle order and must do well. The side expects runs in the lower middle order from Jamie Overton and James Bazley.  Brisbane Heat Preview Colin Munro’s team defeated the Sydney Thunder in the last game by 5 wickets. This win has propelled them to the fourth position on the points table, and the team will look to improve its position further with a victory in this game. They have enjoyed a good record against the Adelaide Strikers and defeated them earlier in the season. Munro and his men would draw inspiration from that win.  Colin Munro will look to lead from the front and deliver a good start with Jack Wood, as Adelaide’s bowlers have struggled this season. Matt Renshaw is in good form, and he will look to add runs in the middle order with Nathan McSweeney and Max Bryant. The lower middle order has good hitters, and the team expects fireworks from Tom Alsop and Michael Neser.  Weather Conditions The skies over Adelaide will be clear during the game. It is a good batting surface, with high-scoring games in the last two years being the norm. Bowlers struggle on this surface with little for them on it. The average first-innings score is 158 runs, and a score of 180 would be good for the team batting first. ADS vs BH Pitch Report Adelaide Oval is a good track where the batsmen have always enjoyed batting. The short boundaries around the square offer plenty of scoring opportunities to the batsmen. Fast bowlers have done well at this venue in the past as the track is hard and offers a lot of bounce, but spinners have struggled here, considering the dimensions of the ground. Toss: To Bowl The team chasing the score has won this venue’s last five out of seven games. It is a good wicket to bat on where defending has always been challenging for the side bowling second. The side that wins the toss would look to bowl first and trouble the opponents with early assistance.

Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Thunder TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. HBH vs SYT Match Prediction & Analysis Match 29 of the BBL 2024-25 will see Hobart Hurricanes face off against Sydney Thunder at Bellerive Oval this Friday. Their previous encounter at ENGIE Stadium on Wednesday was rained out, preventing either team from moving to the top of the Big Bash League ladder. With one competition point each, the second-placed Thunder and third-placed Hurricanes are currently tied with the Sydney Sixers, who hold the top spot due to a superior net run rate. This rematch offers the winner a chance to ascend to the top of the standings if other results go their way.  TEAMS PREVIEW Hobart Hurricanes Preview After a disastrous start – bowled out for 74 against the Renegades in their season opener – Hobart Hurricanes have finally found their groove, winning four in a row. They’re now in a good position to make the finals for the first time in three seasons, with just four games remaining. Apart from Matthew Wade, who has a top score of 27, their top six batters have all been in form at different times. Emerging star Mitch Owen hit an unbeaten 101 against the Scorchers, the best knock of the season so far. Ben McDermott is another player to keep an eye on, with 124 runs in 5 innings at a strike rate of 149. Tim David has also shown he can dominate any attack, as seen in his 62* off 28 balls against the Strikers. Sydney Thunder Preview Even though their previous game was called off, Sydney Thunder are in a strong position to finish in the top four. Their batting has been in top form, with captain David Warner leading the charge. Warner has scored 228 runs in 6 innings, with an average of 45.60 and a strike rate of 146.15.  Teenage Test opener Sam Konstas is back for the Thunder after Australia’s Border-Gavaskar Trophy win, providing a much-needed boost as the team deals with several injuries.  Another batter to keep an eye on is Sam Billings, who has been in fine form, hitting 149 runs in 6 innings at an average of 144.66. Matthew Gilkes has been impressive in the three games he has played.  Weather Conditions Bellerive Oval often offers a good batting surface, particularly early in the match. Expect decent pace and carry, allowing batters to play their shots. Spinners may find some turn later on, especially if the pitch is dry, but it’s usually not a significant factor. The shorter straight boundaries can be tempting targets for big hitters. Overhead conditions can play a role, with any cloud cover potentially assisting swing bowlers. The weather in Hobart during the game is expected to be mostly cloudy and cool, with no forecast of rain. HBH vs SYT Pitch Report In domestic T20s at Bellerive Oval, the average score for teams batting first is 167. This season, the highest score at the ground was achieved by Hobart Hurricanes, who scored 187-5 in 18.4 overs to successfully chase down the target against Adelaide Strikers. Toss: To Bowl Two of the three matches played at Bellerive Oval in this season of the BBL have been won by the chasing side. This trend suggests that the chasing side might be at an advantage here and both captains might look to field first here.

Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Renegades TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. PRS vs MLR Match Prediction & Analysis Perth Scorchers will take on MLR at their home venue. The last time Melbourne Renegades won a match was against Perth Scorchers in Melbourne while chasing a 144-run target. Their batting wasn’t in good touch in that game either and the top-order woes continue to trouble MLR. The hosts suffered a defeat in their last outing at this venue in Perth while defending 177 runs against Sydney Thunder. They had won two out of two matches at home before the loss. Finn Allen and Cooper Connolly are the in-form batters for PRS in the top 4. Allen scored two consecutive fifties while Connolly delivered consistently in the middle order. TEAMS PREVIEW Perth Scorchers Preview Ashton Turner will expect his bowlers to step up and deliver a better performance this time around. It was a good total they were defending in the last outing but despite a great variety in the bowling attack, PRS failed to put any pressure on the opposition with the ball. Lance Morris stood out with his spell of 3 for 22 from 4 Overs. Scorchers will need others like Jason Behrendorff, Andrew Tye, and Matthew Kelly to also deliver breakthroughs if Scorchers are to get back to winning ways. The bowlers were all on the money in their previous home game against Brisbane Heat where they bowled out the opposition for 132 runs while defending 165. Behrendorff and Jhye Richardson shined with the ball in Adelaide in the next game. Melbourne Renegades Preview Melbourne Renegades are desperate for a win. They have lost 3 matches on the trot. Their last win came at the Docklands Stadium in Melbourne as they chased down 144 runs with 2 wickets in hand against the Scorchers. MLR have won just 2 of their 6 matches in the BBL this year. After their win over PRS, the Renegades finished 148 for 8 while chasing a 157-run target against SYT. The next game saw MLR post 149 runs while batting first at the home venue. With some good knocks from Bethell and Wells in the middle order, the Renegades finally managed to cross the 160-run mark in the last outing but it wasn’t enough. Overall, it is a very grim picture for MLR as far as the batting is concerned. Tim Seifert, an experienced player at number 3 has failed to deliver while opener Jake Fraser-McGurk is also struggling to get going. Weather Conditions It will be a clear and sunny day with a high of 30 degrees Celsius in Perth. We can expect a complete and uninterrupted game of cricket. The weather is likely to help the batters as the pitch gets hard under the sun allowing for an even bounce and carry. PRS vs MLR Pitch Report The pitch is known for helping the pacers and has been a paradise for fast bowlers in the longer format of the game. However, in T20 cricket, batters have managed to get the upper hand quite often. The average 1st innings total in the last 10 matches here is 177 runs. The highest score successfully chased here in recent times is 201 runs. We reckon the team batting first needs to put 180+ on the board to be in a competitive position in this match. Toss: To Bowl Though teams bowling first have won 2 of the 3 matches played here this season, it is the batting team that has enjoyed the upper hand overall winning 6 of the last 10 T20 matches here. Renegades aren’t in any shape to chase down a competitive total and are better off batting first. Scorchers too will back their bowlers to defend a total against a struggling MLR.

Melbourne Stars vs Melbourne Renegades TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. MLS vs MLR Match Prediction & Analysis With table-toppers Sydney Sixers losing their last game and bottom of the pile Melbourne Stars getting their first win of the season in their last match, the BBL table is suddenly a lot more congested than anyone expected! Ahead of this game, Match 23, the Sixers top the table with eight points but have Perth Scorchers, Sydney Thunder and Hobart Hurricanes trailing them by only two points. The two Melbourne sides are in the bottom half of the table at this stage but the Renegades are only two points behind the Scorchers in second place. It was a comfortable win for the Stars against Brisbane Heat on New Year’s Day and another victory in this game would certainly make the table squeeze together even more. TEAMS PREVIEW Melbourne Stars Preview With a target of 150 to beat Brisbane Heat, Melbourne Stars cruised home with 11 balls to spare, something which did not look to be on the cards when they found themselves 14/3 after one ball of the fourth over! The fourth wicket partnership between Dan Lawrence (64 not out) and captain Marcus Stoinis (62) was enough to get the Stars’ season up and running and even allowed them to lose Glenn Maxwell for a golden duck. As a result, the batting line-up should come into his derby fixture with plenty of confidence with the likes of Ben Duckett and Sam Harper also producing good numbers this season. Melbourne Renegades Preview The Renegades were beaten for the second game in a row in Match 20 when they went down by five wickets with 17 balls remaining against Adelaide Strikers at the Docklands Stadium. The defeat was confirmed long before the winning runs were hit from the first ball of the 18th over of the second innings, but there were times during the first innings, when opener Josh Brown was going strong, where the Renegades looked like potential match winners. They do have fluent white ball batters and they will always back one of Brown, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Tim Seifert or Jacob Bethell to deliver the goods in the top four positions. Tom Rogers and Adam Zampa both come into this Melbourne derby after taking two wickets each against Adelaide Strikers, and the left-arm spin of Jacob Bethell could also be handy as a left-field option in this game. Weather Conditions Although Saturday is forecast to be cloudy in Melbourne, the temperature is also expected to reach 36 degrees. By the time the lights are in full flow and evening has arrived, it will still be 30+ for this game. MLS vs MLR Pitch Report The MCG is one of the most inspiring grounds to play at in world cricket and short of the Boxing Day test, playing in front of a huge crowd in a Melbourne derby is also an experience to remember. We expect a good batting track with a par score of 180+. Toss: To Bowl The team fielding first won the last game for both Melbourne sides so we predict that both captains will go out to the middle with the intention of bowling first if they win the toss.

Sydney Sixers vs Brisbane Heat TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SYS vs BH Match Prediction & Analysis Brisbane Heat meet Sydney Sixers this Friday evening at Coffs Harbour in the 21st BBL 2024-25 match. The Sixers currently sit at the top of the table with 8 points from five games. The Heat are struggling in sixth place, managing just two wins from their five games. The Sixers already beat the Heat in their previous encounter this season and will be confident of repeating the feat against their struggling opponents.  TEAMS PREVIEW Sydney Sixers Preview After winning their first four matches, Sydney Sixers suffered their first defeat this season at the hands of Hobart Hurricanes. Chasing a target of 162 at Hobart, the Sixers fell way short as they were bundled out for just 111. Despite the loss, the Sixers wouldn’t be too perturbed as they have had a near-flawless campaign so far.  Brisbane Heat Preview Brisbane Heat have had a mixed campaign so far. They started the season with a bang, winning two games in a row. However, they have stumbled post that with three consecutive defeats, the last of which was against Melbourne Stars. The team will be counting on Nathan McSweeney to deliver another standout performance. McSweeney, who is the team’s second-highest run-getter with 129 runs in 5 innings, has the ability to anchor the innings and play the big knock when needed.  Weather Conditions The International Sports Stadium in Coffs Harbour presents a well-maintained, fast pitch ideal for T20 cricket. Expect good bounce and carry for the pacers, while spinners will find some turn and grip. The outfield is fast, promising high scores. Batters who can time the ball well will thrive, making for an exciting contest. The weather will be partly cloudy with chances of a passing shower or two in the afternoon. However, we should still get a full game. SYS vs BH Pitch Report The average first innings score at the International Sports Stadium is 168. The highest total posted here is Sydney Sixers’ 203/5 versus Adelaide Strikers in 2023. This is the only game at the venue that has been won by the team batting first.
