𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sydney Thunder vs Melbourne Stars𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 22, Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Big Bash League, 2024-25 The last loss Melbourne Stars suffered was against Sydney Thunder back on December 28. 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.

MLS vs HBH Match Prediction & Analysis It is the final league game in the Big Bash League 2024-25. The Melbourne Stars will fight for a place in the playoffs as they take on the Hobart Hurricanes in the 40th game. The Melbourne Stars have done well in the last few games and come here with a win against the Melbourne Renegades. The Hobart Hurricanes defeated the Brisbane Heat in the last game and shall feel confident. The Hobart Hurricanes are through to the next round and won’t feel as much pressure as the Melbourne Stars. They defeated the Stars earlier in the season, and the players will take inspiration from that win. The Stars have been dependent on a few players to win games. They must win this game by a big margin to reach the next round, and it will be interesting to see how they perform. TEAMS PREVIEW Melbourne Stars Preview Marcus Stoinis’ team has made one of the best comebacks in the tournament’s history. They have won four back-to-back games after starting the season with five consecutive losses. The side defeated the Melbourne Renegades in the last game by 42 runs. It is a must-win game for the team, and they are up against a strong side. Stoinis would expect a strong show from his players in this contest. Ben Duckett has batted well in the tournament and looks forward to delivering a good start in this game with Sam Harper. Stoinis must lead front the front in the middle order and add runs with Thomas Rogers and Beau Webster. Glenn Maxwell has been in superb form, and he adds X-factor to this batting lineup with Hilton Cartwright in the lower middle order. Hobart Hurricanes Preview Nathan Ellis, and his men performed phenomenally in the last game against the Brisbane Heat. The side defeated the Brisbane Heat by 5 wickets in a game that went down the wire. The players held their nerves, winning off the last ball of the game. They are through to the playoffs, and Ellis would like to win this game to build momentum for the next round. Caleb Jewell and Mitchell Owen set up an 80-run stand in the last game, and the team needs a similar start from the pair. Ben McDermott, Nikhil Chaudhary, and Matthew Wade have done well in the middle order, and the team expects a strong show from them. Tim David is a good finisher and looks to do well with Jake Doran in the lower middle order. The bowling attack struggled in the last game, and they need a good spell with the new ball from Riley Meredith and Marcus Bean. Nathan Ellis and Peter Hatzoglou look forward to doing well in the middle overs. The team also expects a good show in this contest from Owen, Nikhil Chaudhary, and David in the supporting roles. Weather Conditions There would be clear skies over Melbourne. The wicket shall be slow, and batsmen would have to play to the merit of the ball. Bowlers will get assistance from the surface, and the side batting first would be happy to put up a score of more than 180 on this track, with the average score being 161 runs. MLS vs HBH Pitch Report Melbourne Cricket Ground has a good surface for batting. However, we have seen slowness in recent games. Batsmen who spend time at the crease do well at this venue. Fast bowlers get assistance from the wicket with the new ball. Spinners enjoy bowling here as the large ground doesn’t allow batsmen to play big shots. Toss: To Bowl It has been a happy hunting ground for sides that have cased scores. We have seen low scores, and the side batting first has struggled in recent games at this venue. Hence, we expect to see the side winning the toss have no hesitation in bowling first.

MLR vs MLS Match Prediction & Analysis Teams are fighting hard to improve their position on the points table in the ongoing Big Bash League 2024-25. In this context, we will have an interesting game where the Melbourne Renegades face the Melbourne Stars in the 32nd game. The Renegades defeated the Perth Scorchers in the last game and need to win here. The Melbourne Stars also won their last game against the Sydney Sixers. It is a must-win game for both teams to keep hopes alive for the next round. The Melbourne Renegades have won only once in the last four games and lost against the Stars earlier this season. They will be under pressure to show consistency. The Stars have won the last three games and look in good form. A lot is riding on in this game for both teams, and this will make the contest interesting. TEAMS PREVIEW Melbourne Renegades Preview It was a much-needed win for Will Sutherland’s team in the last game against the Perth Scorchers. After three consecutive losses, the side got its acts together, winning by 4 wickets. They will be under pressure in this game, losing against the Melbourne Stars earlier in the season. Sutherland would like his team to deliver a strong performance in this game. Tim Seifert has struggled with his form this season and must deliver a strong start with Marcus Harris. Jake Fraser-McGurk, Jacob Bethell, and Laurie Evans didn’t contribute to the cause in the last game, and the side expects runs from them in the middle order. Thomas Rogers and Will Sutherland add firepower to the batting in the lower middle order. Melbourne Stars Preview Marcus Stoinis’ side is back in the reckoning for a place in the playoffs. They have made a strong comeback in the tournament with three consecutive wins. The bowlers performed clinically in the last game against the Sydney Sixers, defending a small total and winning by 16 runs. The players look confident, and Stonis expects a strong show from his key players in this game. The batting lineup hasn’t been in the best shape this season. The team needs a good start from Ben Duckett and Sam Harper, as they have struggled with consistency. Beau Webster will look to build partnerships in the middle order with Dan Lawrence and Marcus Stoinis. Glenn Maxwell adds X-factor to this lineup and will look to add quick runs with Hilton Cartwright. Mark Steketee bowled a match-winning spell in the last game, and he will need support with the new ball from Joel Paris, who struggled in the last game. Usama Mir and Peter Siddle look good, making the team confident. Stoinis, Maxwell, and Webster add depth to the bowling attack, making it strong. Weather Conditions We will see overcast skies over Melbourne on January 12. We expect a flat, but the weather will make it challenging for the batsmen. They must get their eyes set to score runs on this wicket. The side batting first would need 170 on this wicket to feel confident, with the average first-inning score being 156 runs. MLR vs MLS Pitch Report Docklands Stadium, Melbourne, has a flat surface, and the outfield here is fast. We have seen sides put up big scores at this venue. Fast bowlers get a hint of assistance from the track, but it is a challenging venue for the spinners as the shorter boundaries don’t leave a margin for error. Toss: To Bowl The side chasing the score has won here on most occasions. The wicket is challenging in the first innings and eases in the second half. The side that wins the toss would like to take advantage of the conditions by opting to bowl first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Melbourne Stars vs Sydney Sixers 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 09 ,Thursday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:45 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Melbourne Cricket Ground, Richmond, Australia 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Big Bash League, 2024-25 Table-toppers take on the bottom-placed Stars Sydney Thunder 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. MLS vs SYS Match Prediction & Analysis Melbourne Stars will take on Sydney Sixers at their home venue. This will be the Stars’ third match on this ground this season. Having won their last game here chasing down 169 with 5 wickets in hand, the hosts will be confident and eyeing for a 3rd straight win. Sydney Sixers suffered a huge batting collapse in their last outing against Hobart. They had been exceptional with the bat before this loss and successfully chased down a 195-run target against MLS at home. The hosts are dependent on their middle and lower middle-order batters since the top order has been quite inconsistent. In the last two successful run chases, it was Marcus Stoinis who starred with the bat at number 5. TEAMS PREVIEW Melbourne Stars Preview The hosts are back to winning ways after losing 5 matches on the trot. However, they aren’t without issues. The last two wins saw only a couple of batters step up and lead the run-chase while most of the top-order failed to get going. Marcus Stoinis is in fine touch in the lower middle order and will be the key player to watch out for. He is the finisher for the side and also has the support of another big finisher Glenn Maxwell who comes in at 6. Stars have packed their lower middle order with some big-hitting batters as Hilton Cartwright known for his big-hitting, comes in at number 7. Sydney Sixers Preview Sydney Sixers must look for a quick comeback. Their winning streak ended with a huge loss against Hobart as they were bowled out for 110 in the chase of 162 runs. Moises Henriques will be hoping for his top-order batters to quickly find their rhythm as they go up against an in-form MLS. The opposition has been brilliant with the ball in their recent outings and will likely pose a tough challenge to the Sixers in this game. Josh Philippe and James Vince have a big task on their hands. They need to put up a good partnership for the first wicket and set the Sixers on the path to a big score. Henriques is a reliable and experienced batter in the middle-order and along with Jordan Silk, will be expected to deliver an impactful knock. Silk has been a key player in the past for the Sixers and is known for his finishing skills. While the batting lineup is quite deep with the likes of Jack Edwards and Hayden Kerr coming in at 6 and 7, they haven’t made a big impact recently. It is the top-order that scored the majority of runs in recent matches of the Sixers. Weather Conditions We expect cloudy skies in Melbourne on the match day with a high of 30 degrees Celsius. There are no signs of rain and we can expect an uninterrupted and exciting contest between the two teams. MLS vs SYS Pitch Report The pitch offers great help to the bowlers and the average 1st innings score here is 147 runs in the last 10 matches. The highest successful run chase in recent games here was 173 runs. It is clear that the bowlers have enjoyed the upper hand on this ground and will play a key role in this game as well. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won 6 of the last 10 T20s played here. This season, there have been just two games so far and both went in favor of the team bowling first. Both teams have a strong bowling attack and will back themselves to restrict the opposition to a par total.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Melbourne Stars vs Melbourne Renegades𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 04 ,Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:45 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Melbourne Cricket Ground, Richmond, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Big Bash League, 2024-25 The BBL Melbourne derby is always a grand occasion and this one will be no different, under lights at the MCG on Saturday evening! 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.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Brisbane Heat vs Melbourne Stars 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 01 ,Wednesday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:45 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : The Gabba, Woolloongabba, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Big Bash League, 2024-25 Two teams who finished 2024 with a run of defeats come face to face at the Gabba on New Year’s Day! Brisbane Heat 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. BH vs MLS Match Prediction & Analysis This year’s Big Bash League has been another entertaining one and the teams will be raring to go after the festivities and celebrations of New Year’s Eve. But both Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Stars can ill-afford to party as they end 2024 in poor form with the teams desperate to get off to a winning start in 2025. At home, and as the current BBL holders, it will be Brisbane Heat who will fancy their chances in this game. Although they have lost their last two matches in the tournament, they have already beaten Melbourne Stars and will be confident of repeating their success from earlier in December at the MCG. TEAMS PREVIEW Brisbane Heat Preview Brisbane Heat return to the site of their latest defeat, an eight wicket loss against the high-flying Sydney Sixers on Sunday, and they will be determined to get back to winning ways in front of their passionate home support. They could do with an improvement from captain Colin Munro who is yet to make a double-figure score in BBL14 but Nathan McSweeney has top scored for Brisbane Heat in both of his appearances at the Gabba since being ousted from the Australian Test side. Melbourne Stars Preview So far so bad for Melbourne Stars. After concluding their BBL campaign last season with back to back defeats, Marcus Stoinis’ side have added another five losses in a row and look like a team with very little self-belief ahead of this fixture. There has been one positive in their last two games, the form of England all-format international Ben Duckett. The pint-sized left-hander has made scores of 60+ in both matches and has top scored for the Stars but no one else has been able to make significant contributions. With the bat, Melbourne Stars will look to Duckett, Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell to deliver. Whereas with the ball, the pressure will be on the experienced Peter Siddle, Beau Webster and Usama Mir to deliver. Weather Conditions There is a chance of rain throughout the afternoon in Brisbane but the chances of it lasting into the evening look to be very slim. It should be a warm evening with the temperature up and above 22 degrees from start to finish. BH vs MLS Pitch Report The Gabba remains an iconic venue and Ben Duckett will certainly be keen to put up a good performance ahead of returning here for the Ashes in just under 12 months time. We expect to see a bouncy surface but also with some movement and a par first innings total of 180. Toss: To Bowl This will be the third game at the Gabba in this year’s BBL with the previous two both won by the team who fielded first. Therefore, we predict that both captains will want to field first ahead of this match.

MLS vs SYT Match Prediction & Analysis We have had close contests in the Big Bash League 2024-25. As we enter the 14th game, the Melbourne Stars will fight for survival as they take on Sydney Thunder. The Stars lost to the Sydney Sixers in the last game and are struggling with their form. The Sydney Thunder also lost against the Sixers in a close contest, and the team will look to bounce back and move up on the points table. The Melbourne Stars sit at the bottom of the points table. They have lost all four matches this season; another loss will seal their fate for the rest of the season. The side has a poor record against Sydney Thunder, with losses in the last three games. It remains to be seen if the Stars can recover in this game with a good performance and keep their hopes alive for the rest of the season. TEAMS PREVIEW Melbourne Stars Preview It will be an uphill climb for Marcus Stoinis’ team. They have lost all four games they have played and sit at the bottom of the points table. They went down by 8 wickets in the last game against the Sydney Sixers. The bowling attack has struggled in most games. Stoinis would want his players to pull up their socks and do well in this game to keep hopes alive. Ben Duckett batted brilliantly in the last game, and he will have a key role at the top with his opening partner, Thomas Rogers. They have a strong middle order and expect runs from Sam Harper, Glenn Maxwell, and Stoinis. Tom Curran and Hilton Cartwright have good hitting abilities, and the team expects them to add quick runs in the lower middle order. Sydney Thunder Preview David Warner’s team will look to make a strong comeback in the tournament. They had a poor outing against the Sydney Sixers in the last game, going down by 5 wickets. They struggled with the bat and paid the price. Warner would like to exploit Melbourne Stars’ lack of form in this game and improve his team’s position on the points table. David Warmer must lead from the front and put up a big partnership with Nic Maddinson for the first wicket. Cameron Bancroft is looking in good form, and he will look to build partnerships with Oliver Davies and Sherfane Rutherford. The team has depth in the batting and expects good performances from Daniel Sams and Sam Billings. Weather Conditions There would be clear skies over Canberra on December 28, which would make the conditions great for T20 cricket. The wicket would be flat, though there would be some assistance for the bowlers here. The average first innings score is 149 runs, and a score of 170 runs or more should be the target for the side batting first. MLS vs SYT Pitch Report Manuka Oval, Canberra, has short square boundaries, which is good for batsmen who like playing their strokes square of the wicket. The outfield here is fast, a huge bonus for the batsmen. Fast bowlers do get their assistance from the surface, but it is a difficult venue for the spinners to bowl. Toss: To Bowl In the last five games at this venue, the side chasing the score has won four times. There would be something in there for the bowlers on this surface, as we had seen during the last few matches. The side winning the toss would like to use these conditions and bowl first upon winning the toss.

SYS vs MLS Match Prediction & Analysis It is the Boxing Day clash in the Big Bash League 2024-25. The Sydney Sixers will look to build on the momentum as they take on the Melbourne Stars in the 11th game. The Sixers have made a strong start in the season and defeated the Sydney Thunder in their last game. The Melbourne Stars have struggled, going down against the Adelaide Strikers in their previous game. The Melbourne Stars are searching for their first win in this game. They will be under pressure after three consecutive losses, and the players seem low on confidence. The Sydney Sixers have won both their games and have lost only once in the last five seasons against the Melbourne Stars. The Stars must take the challenge head-on to win this game, and it will be interesting to see if they are up for the task. TEAMS PREVIEW Sydney Sixers Preview Moises Henriques and his team have made a strong start in the tournament. They started as one of the favourites and have lived up to with strong performances in both games. They defeated the Sydney Thunder in the last game by 5 wickets. They have a good record against the Melbourne Stars, and Henriques would like to win this game and retain the top spot on the points table. Josh Phillippe and James Vince are a strong opening pair, and the team expects them to deliver an electrifying start. Henriques has a lot of experience and shall look to guide the middle order and add runs with Jack Edwards and Jordan Silk. Lachlan Shaw, Ben Dwarshuis, and Joel Davies add depth to the line-up and will look to add quick runs. The bowling attack has delivered strong performances. Ben Dwarshuis and Akeal Hosein have used the new ball well, and the team expects early breakthroughs from the pair. Sean Abbott will aim to use his experience and bowl tight spells in the middle overs with Joel Davies and Jack Edwards. Todd Murphy adds depth to the bowling attack. Melbourne Stars Preview It will be a massive test for Marcus Stoinis’ team in their 4th game. The team has looked rusty in the tournament and went down against the Adelaide Strikers in the last game by 15 runs. The batting lineup is inconsistent, and the bowling attack lacks teeth. It is a must-win game for the team, and it will be interesting to see if they are up for the challenge. Sam Harper has been the only consistent batsman on the team, and he must deliver a strong start with Ben Duckett. Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell are the most experienced players in this team, and they will look to add runs in the middle order with Thomas Rogers. Hilton Cartwright, Beau Webster, and Tom Curran are powerful strikers and must do well. The bowling attack hasn’t troubled the opponents so far in the tournament. Adam Milne and Peter Siddle must strike early, as the Sixers have their batters in good form. Middle overs will be important, and the team expects Maxwell and Tom Curran to do well. Doug Warren and Stoinis must do well in the supporting role. Weather Conditions The weather forecaster predicts clear skies over Sydney on December 26. The wicket has been a tough one to bat on this season, as the two-paced nature of the surface has created doubts in the batsmen’s minds. The average first innings score is 160 runs, and the team batting first would like to have 180 on the board. SYS vs MLS Pitch Report Sydney Cricket Ground is not the easiest surface to bat on, and the batsmen must get their eyes in before playing their strokes. Fast bowlers get bounce and carry from the surface. It is also the best wicket for the spinners in Australia, as the ball turns sharply on this track. Toss: To Bowl The wicket at the Sydney Cricket Ground has been on the slower side this season. It won’t be an easy surface to set up a total with the bowlers finding assistance from the surface in the early overs. We expect the side winning the toss to invite the opposition to bat first on this wicket.

ADS vs MLS Match Prediction & Analysis The Big Bash League 2024-25 has seen exciting games. The competition is heating up, and Adelaide Strikers will look for their first win as they take on the Melbourne Stars in the 6th match. The Strikers lost their first game against the Sydney Thunder and shall look to make a strong comeback. Melbourne Stars will face the heat going into this game after losing against Brisbane Heat by 8 wickets. The Melbourne Stars have lost both the games they have played, and the team is struggling with its form. The bowling attack lacks teeth, and the team needs a turnaround from the bowlers to win this contest. Adelaide Strikers have their batsmen in good form, and it will be interesting to see if the Melbourne Stars can stop the downward slide with a strong comeback. TEAMS PREVIEW Adelaide Strikers Preview Matthew Short’s side hasn’t had the perfect start to the season. In a nail-biting contest, they went down against the Sydney Thunder by 2 wickets. While the batsmen did well in the last game, the bowling attack had a poor outing. Short would expect a better performance from his bowlers and look to exploit Melbourne Stars’ lack of form. Matthew Short will look to lead from the front and deliver a good start with Jake Weatherald, who played well in the last game. Chris Lynn is a powerful striker, and he must build partnerships with Harry Nielsen and Alex Ross in the middle order. The side has depth in the batting, and we should expect a good show from Jamie Overton, Fabian Allen, and James Bazley. Melbourne Stars Preview Marcus Stoinis’ team will be under pressure heading into this game. They have lost back-to-back games and sit at the bottom of the points table. They struggled in the last game against Brisbane Heat in an 8-wicket loss. Alarm bells have started ringing in the camp, and Stoinis expects his players to pull up their socks and perform well. The opening combination isn’t working for the team, and the side expects Thomas Rogers and Joe Clarke to set a strong platform at the top. Sam Harper will look to steer the innings in the middle order and add runs with Stoinis and Hilton Cartwright. They have depth in the lineup and expect Beau Webster and Tom Curran to do the heavy lifting in the death overs. Weather Conditions We expect clear skies over Adelaide.
