Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Stars BBL T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips
Get to Know Who will win SIX vs STA, Big Bash League match, toss Prediction with Head to Head stats, Playing 11, Dream11 Prediction, Betting Rates, Live score & winning percentage.
Josh Philippe top scored for Sydney Sixers in the rain-reduced win over Hobart Hurricanes. The opener is our tip for the Sixers’ highest run scorer in this match. With the ball, Sean Abbott has already taken six BBL wickets this season and he is well worth backing as Sydney Sixers’ top wicket taker against Melbourne Stars.
Joe Clarke hit a century against Hobart Hurricanes in Match 4 and no other player has reached three-figures in this campaign. The English opener is a strong choice for Melbourne Stars’ highest run scorer against Sydney Sixers. Luke Wood took 5-50 in the last match and the left-arm pace bowler is our pick for Melbourne Stars’ top wicket taker in this game.
Although he can be expensive at times, Sean Abbott is a very consistent wicket taker in the BBL and particularly at this venue. He is our recommendation to take over 1.5 wickets.

SIX vs STA T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2022
Match 15 of the 2022-23 Big Bash League sees Sydney Sixers take on Melbourne Stars at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Monday afternoon. Both teams have played three, lost two and won one match across the tournament so far with the Sixers first win coming in their last fixture. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway in Sydney at 18:05 local time.
Sydney Sixers were beaten in their first two games but will be hoping that their win over Hobart Hurricanes is the first of many. Their squad is far too strong to be struggling and we expect them to climb the table.
Melbourne Stars have only won the match when Joe Clarke produced an incredible innings and need more from across their team in this game. If key players deliver then they will be hard to beat at the SCG.

SIX vs STA, Sydney Cricket Ground Pitch Report
It is an excellent batting wicket at the SCG and we saw big scores here in the T20 World Cup as well as a strong run-rate in the rain affected Sixers v Hurricanes game on Thursday.
Sydney Weather Report
It will be warm and sunny at the start of this match before cooling a little after the sun sets. There are no worries of rain arriving at any point at the SCG during this game.

Sydney Sixers Team News & Playing 11
SIX Team News
The Sixers are still without off-spinner Nathan Lyon who is on international duty at the MCG. England pace bowler and T20 specialist, Chris Jordan, is expected to be available with his injury having healed but we expect the Sixers to be unchanged.
SIX Key Players
Josh Phillipe- although no player has hit a half-century for the Sixers yet this season, Philippe looked in strong form in the last game and has an excellent BBL record at the SCG.
Hayden Kerr- the all-rounder is already having a strong individual season in BBL 2022-23. Across the last two games he has hit 74 runs and taken three wickets.
Sean Abbott- no player in BBL history has taken more wickets than the right arm pace bowling all-rounder. At the SCG, he has taken 54 wickets with his nearest challenger on 33.
SIX Team Form
The Sixers finally got their first win of the season in their last game. Coupled with a poor run of form at the end of last year’s tournament, the victory was much needed.

Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Stars Match Prediction
Melbourne Stars Team News & Playing 11
STA Team News
There are no new players ruled out with injury for Melbourne Stars with Glenn Maxwell and Josh Burns both out of the entirety of the 2022-23 competition. We do not anticipate any changes to the Stars’ XI from their last game, the defeat to Perth Scorchers.
STA Key Players
Joe Clarke- the keeper-batter has delivered four catches and a century across his dual responsibilities in the first three games. This pitch should be one of the best for batting and he has the talent to star in this game.
Adam Zampa- the skipper has looked comfortable in the leadership role so far. It has not affected his bowling and we expect to see him add to his five wickets in the competition in this game.
Luke Wood- the English left-arm pace bowler has had an excellent recent few months. He made his international debut in Pakistan in October and took his first T20 five-wicket haul on Thursday
STA Team Form
Although the Stars have lost two of their last three matches, they have won three of their last five games.
Melbourne Stars Predicted Playing 11
Joe Clarke (wk), Thomas Rogers, Beau Webster, Marcus Stonis, Nick Larkin, Hilton Cartwright, Campbell Kellaway, Luke Wood, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Trent Boult, Adam Zampa (c)

Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Stars Betting Odds
The bookies expect home advantage to be key in this game and, although there is no difference in the record of both teams from their opening three matches, it is the Sixers who are favourites.
Who will win Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Stars T20 Match?
Melbourne Stars required a century from opener Joe Clarke to pick up their victory but we expect Sydney Sixers’ experienced bowling attack to be too strong in this match.
SYS vs MLS Top Team Batsmen
For Sydney Sixers, Josh Philippe, James Vince and Kurtis Patterson are our selections with the bat. Philippe has been Sydney Sixers’ top batter across the last two BBLs and is approaching top form again. It is no surprise to see the bookies backing him. Vince averages 39.86 at the SCG and he enjoys the pace on the ball here.
Joe Clarke, Marcus Stonis and Tom Rogers are our batting recommendations for Melbourne Stars. As the only player to have hit a century in the tournament so far, we understand why Clarke is backed by the bookmakers. Stoinis has a top score of 147 not out in T20 cricket.
Sean Abbott, Hayden Kerr and Steve O’Keefe are our bowling recommendations for Sydney Sixers. Abbott has the top odds with the bookies and averages just over a wicket every 12 balls at this venue. O’Keefe also has a strong record at the SCG with 33 wickets at an average of 22.27.
We are backing Trent Boult, Adam Zampa and Luke Wood with the ball for Melbourne Stars. Boult has only four wickets from three BBL games so far but is yet to go wicketless and the bookmakers expect him to deliver at the SCG. Wood has been expensive but is capable of producing unplayable deliveries at pace to the best batters.
This should be an excellent game on Boxing Day in Sydney and we expect to see a big crowd in to witness the contest. Both teams would have preferred stronger starts to this BBL but the Sixers were more impressive in their last match than the Stars. Many of the Sixers players have their best T20 records at this venue and we are backing them to win this game.
