Melbourne Stars:
Melbourne Stars lost their last match and are currently at the 6th position on the Big Bash League points table with 18 points.
Joe Clarke and Glenn Maxwell opened the innings but couldn’t score much, and in the middle-order, Webster and Stoinin fell early. Hilton Cartwright and Joe Burns batted well but couldn’t win the match for the team.
The bowlers did a decent job as Rainbird and Hinchliffe picked up two wickets each. Ahmed Daniyal got one wicket.
Stars are likely to be eliminated from the race for playoffs.

The Brisbane Heat has lost three consecutive matches and is at the 7th position on the Big Bash League points table with 15 points.
Chris Lynn and McSweeney opened the innings and got out in the first three overs. Pfeffer and Duckett batted decently for a while, and Bartlett scored some runs in the lower middle-order, but the remaining players failed, and as a result, the team got all out for a low total.
