Big Bash 2020-21 is a big hit and is entertaining the Australians between the Test matches against India.  All teams have completed the half-way mark in the tournament and will look to win every coming match to place themselves in the best position going ahead to the knockouts. Brisbane Heat are on a roll with back-to-back victories in last 2 matches and will look to continue their momentum to move ahead in the points table. Melbourne Stars have ended their 4-match winless streak with a win against Hobart hurricanes in the last game. Both teams come off a win and will be high on confidence in this match.

Brisbane Heat Preview

Brisbane Heat chased down a stiff target of 175 runs with their middle order duo of Joe Denly and Joe Burns scoring fifties. Earlier Chris Lynn and Max Bryant set the tone with their aggressive batting taking their team to 50+ runs inside the power play. They have a strong batting line-up with top-5 players experienced at big stages.

They have pace quartet with Jack Wildermuth, Xavier Bartlet, Mark Steketee, and Lewis Gregory who shared 5 wickets among themselves in the last match. Afghan spinner Mujeeb will lead the spin bowling and had figures of 4-0-26-2 in the last game.

Top players to bet on:

Joe Burns – Burns made 52 runs off 38 balls after he was dropped from the Test team. He will look to regain form with this knock and look to make his comeback with performances in big bash.

Mark Steketee – Steketee is having a breakout season with 12 wickets in 6 matches at an economy of 8.25 RPO.  We expect him to take more wickets in this match too.

Brisbane Heat Predicted Playing XI:

Max Bryant, Joe Burns, Joe Denly, Jack Wildermuth, Jimmy Peirson (c & wk), Lewis Gregory, James Bazley, Mark Steketee, Xavier Bartlett, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Chris Lynn

Top players to bet on:

Glenn Maxwell – Maxwell has 255 runs at a strike arte of 150+ this season with the bat. He is also bowling effective overs for the team in the middle. We expect him to continue his all-round performance in this amtch too.

Sam Rainbird – Rainbird had bowling figures of 4-0-22-2 in the last game and took crucial wickets to trouble the opposition in the chase. He will look to continue his good show with the ball in this match too.

Weather Conditions

Queensland has a bright and sunny weather on the match day with very less to no chances of rain. We expect to have a match with no interruptions from weather.

Venue Details

Queensland is a high scoring ground with batsmen enjoying the upper hand. Teams will score runs around 160-180 runs easily on this track. Pitch might slow down due to many matches being played here.

Toss: To Bowl

Chasing teams have 3-1 win-loss record at this venue and we expect a new strip to be used in this match. Teams might opt to bat first if played on same pitch as the last match.  

Melbourne Stars have a superb batting lien up with the likes of Maxwell, Stoinis, Pooran, Fletcher, and Cartwright who are in good form and rhythm. Heat too has good players in top-5 but might struggle to match Stars top-5 in terms of T20 firepower. Brisbane Heat has a slightly stronger bowling attack with a variety of options and Stars lack a solid fifth bowler and which might be a big concern for them. But we expect Stars to win this match owing to their batting firepower.

MELBOURNE STARS WILL WIN THE MATCH
