Head to Head
The Sydney Sixers have won four of their last five games against the Melbourne Stars. They met earlier this season on Boxing Day 2024, a match the Sixers won by eight wickets.
Melbourne Stars Form
The Melbourne Stars are rooted to the bottom of the BBL table with five losses and two wins in their seven matches. However, after five defeats, the Stars have won their last two.
The Stars won their last match against the Melbourne Renegades by five wickets. A good bowling performance saw the Stars hold the Renegades to 168 in 20 overs.
The batting troubles at the top continued for the Stars and three of their top four were dismissed for two or less. However, Ben Duckett’s good form continued with a superb 67 off 49 balls. He was well supported by Marcus Stoinis (48) to see the Stars home with two balls to spare.
Melbourne Stars Injuries & Team News
The Stars have won their last two games, so they have some form eventually. The top order failures are still a major concern, however.
Sydney Sixers Form
The Sydney Sixers are having another strong season and currently top the BBL table. They have won four of their six games with one defeat and a no result.
The Sixers last game was abandoned against the Brisbane Heat without a ball being bowled. The game before, the Sixers lost to the Hobart Hurricanes by 50 runs.
For once, the Sixers batsmen all failed as they were all out for 111 runs, chasing 161. After that loss and a no result, the Sydney outfit will be eager to get back to winning ways.
Sydney Sixers Injuries & Team News
The Sixers are unlikely to make many changes considering their last game was abandoned due to rain.
Verdict
The Sixers are tipped to return to winning ways with Josh Philippe backed in the best batsman market.
On the Stars end, Ben Duckett is the only player consistently performing with the bat.
