Venue | Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne |
Melbourne Stars has had a poor outing in BBL so far. They are almost out of the playoffs race after losing seven of the nine games. The defeats have also been very convincing so there is a lot to ponder for the Stars ahead of the game. They lost to Hobart Hurricanes in the previous game.
Meanwhile, Adelaide Strikers are placed third with five wins in nine matches. After losing four matches on the trot, they bounced back to win their previous two games.
The surface in Melbourne will assist the batters. However, the new ball might do something. Teams need to pick early wickets to restrict the opposition.
The weather will be cloudy with temperatures ranging between 27 and 18 degrees.
