Still yet to taste success in the Big Bash League, the Melbourne Stars will be looking to break that jinx this season. Victory in this opening fixture should give them a head-start as they set their sights on the ultimate prize. Though Team Green havent clinched the league title previously, they have come awfully close on two different occasions ending up as beaten finalists in the preceding two campaigns. Surely, these ones have enough about themselves to mount another title challenge. As two of their best players, Melbourne Stars would be pinning their hopes on the abilities of Marcus Stoinis and Nic Maddinson both of whom form a great partnership in the opening order. Down the middle order; Maxwell, Nick Larkin and Andre Fletcher should take the center stage.
Plain-sailing in the division last season, Sydney Sixers comfortably eased to league success to clinch their second BBL title win. Riding high on that triumph, these ones will be buzzing ahead of this new campaign. With the 2020/21 season about to begin, SS will have their eyes on the prize again, looking to defend the league title. For this, they will need to replicate the outstanding performances of the previous year, perhaps even surpass them. Sydney Sixers got pretty busy during the off-season, bringing in some new players into the squad most notably West Indian all-rounder Carlos Braithwaite. Also, SS managed to snap up the players international teammate Jason Holder to bolster their lineup. More predictions for today’s cricket match can be obtained from the link provided.
