Adelaide Strikers are favourites to win
The bottom two sides in the 2021-22 BBL, Melbourne Stars and Adelaide Strikers, go head to head on Monday evening at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The Stars are bottom of the table with three wins from eight games in the tournament. Adelaide Strikers are three points above the Stars in 7th place. Read on as we preview this game. This BBL fixture begins at 19:15 local time.
Melbourne Stars have had to call up new players with many of their first choice selections currently isolating. They will fancy their chances against Adelaide Strikers but have a tough assignment ahead of them.
Adelaide Strikers have had a very poor tournament but have match winners in their squad. If Peter Siddle can produce another 5-wicket haul then they will be hard to beat.
Seven Network and Fox Sports will show this game in Australia. In India, you can watch it on Sony Six. Sky Cricket have the rights in the UK with Willow TV showing the match in the USA. In South Africa you can watch it on SuperSport with Sky Sports showing the game in New Zealand.
BBL Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney+ Hotstar.
Melbourne Stars chose to bat first at this venue in their last game. With Adelaide Strikers happy to bat second, we predict that Melbourne Stars will be batting first in this fixture.
Over recent seasons we have seen the pace go out of the surface at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. We expect a par score to be no higher than 155.
The temperature will drop from the high 20s to the low 20s during this match as the cloud cover increases.

With form keeper-batter Joe Clarke unavailable, wicket-keeper Patrick Rowe came in to make his BBL debut in the Melbourne derby earlier this month. The Stars still have a core of international players available and we expect to see the same XI in this game.
Melbourne Stars have struggled throughout the competition and have won only one of their last five matches.

The Strikers are one of the few teams to have had minimal player withdrawals or unavailability during the tournament. England all-rounder George Garton has left the squad to return home ahead of the white-ball international tour of the Caribbean later this month.
The Strikers ended a long run of defeats with a convincing win over Hobart Hurricanes at the Adelaide Oval in their last match.

Adelaide Strikers have a one match lead over Melbourne Stars across the years in the BBL.

You very rarely see the best games between the bottom of the table sides but this game will be worth watching due to the players getting another opportunity in the Melbourne Stars side. We are predicting a low scoring match with Adelaide Strikers coming out on top.
