Melbourne Stars vs Sydney Sixers Match Preview:
The Melbourne Stars will host the Sydney Sixers in the 28th match of the Big Bash League 2023-24. The Stars are looking strong at the moment with 4 back-to-back wins. The Sixers on the other hand, have been unfortunate due to weather.
Melbourne Stars:
The Melbourne Stars have won 4 out of their 7 games so far and stand 4th on the points table. Their bowling looks strong on paper with the return of Scott Boland and Nathan Coulter Nile in the squad.
With the ball, their bowlers were clinical and were all over the Renegades batters in the last game. Skipper Maxi, Imad Wasim and Mark Steketee all bowled well and picked up a wicket each.
With the bat, their batters also looked clinical and chased down the total with almost 2 overs to spare. Thomas Rogers and Skipper Glenn Maxwell were the top scorers and scored 46* and 32* runs respectively.
Sydney Sixers:
The Sydney Sixers on the other hand, started brilliantly with 3 wins in their first three games but lost their way after that. A couple of losses and a couple of games were also washed out due to rain.
With the bat, their batting has been inconsistent and managed to post just 141 runs in the last game. Josh Philippe finally looked good at the top and scored 41 runs, this knock will give him some confidence.
With the ball, their bowling did not have much to defend in the last game and were expensive. Jack Edwards and Ben Dwarshuis bowled economically and picked up a wicket each.
