Melbourne Stars and Sydney Sixers will play in the 13th match of the Big Bash League 2021-22 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne. We will cover STA vs SIX Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing 11, and Fantasy Cricket Tips.
Melbourne Stars:
Melbourne Stars have won two out of three matches and are currently at the 3rd position on the Big Bash League points table with seven points.
Marcus Stoinis batted decently in the last match, but Joe Clarke has been completely out of form this season. At No.3, Nick Larkin failed to make an impact. In the middle-order, Maxwell and Russell batted brilliantly, scoring 40 and 43* runs respectively, and in the end, Cartwright scored some quick runs and ensured the victory to the Stars.
The bowlers are performing consistently, but they need to improve. Brody Couch has become their crucial bowler as he has picked up wickets in every match. Qais Ahmad and Maxwell picked up two and one wickets, respectively.
Stars are improving their performance with every match, but they would be slightly concerned with their bowling attack.
Sydney Sixers:
Sydney Sixers had to face disappointment in the last match, but they are still at the top of the Big Bash League points table with seven points.
Josh Phillipe is in good form as he already scored two fifties in three matches, and James Vince has also been batting decently. At No.3, skipper Henriques is very well carrying the momentum provided by the openers, but the middle-order players have not contributed much so far this season.
The bowlers performed brilliantly in the first two matches but were completely out of rhythm in the last game. Only Tom Curran has consistently picked up wickets, but he was expensive in the last match, and Jordan managed to get a wicket.
Sydney Sixers need to improve in the middle-order, and their bowlers need to perform well in the upcoming matches.
