Melbourne Stars BBL Record at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG)

Melbourne Stars have enjoyed a largely competitive run at their home venue, using familiarity with conditions to remain a strong presence in the Big Bash League. From 2011 to 2025, the Stars have played 68 matches at home, winning 36 and losing 31, with one tied game.
While not always dominant, their home record reflects consistency and an ability to stay competitive across seasons. The surface has generally rewarded teams that manage tempo well, something the Stars have done better at home than away.
Batting numbers further explain that comfort. Melbourne Stars have posted a total average score of 153 at home, showing a reliable scoring pattern across both innings. When batting first, they average around 163, giving themselves defendable totals, while chasing has been more challenging, with the second innings average dropping to 142.
This gap highlights how the Stars are generally more effective when setting the game up rather than reacting under pressure, especially as the pitch slows later in the match.
Key individuals have played a major role in shaping those results. Glenn Maxwell stands out as the most influential home performer, scoring more than 1500 runs at this venue at an average of around 41 with a strike rate exceeding 150, making him a constant threat whenever he gets going in the BBL.
Alongside him, Marcus Stoinis has also been highly productive, piling up over 1200 runs, averaging in the mid 30s and striking at around 135, often providing stability through the middle overs. Their combined output underlines why the Stars have remained dangerous at home, even during seasons where overall results have fluctuated.

Overall, Melbourne Stars’ home record highlights a venue where controlled aggression and familiarity have kept them competitive across seasons. Strong returns when batting first, combined with the sustained impact of players like Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis, have allowed the Stars to dictate games on their terms.
While chasing has occasionally exposed vulnerabilities, their home ground continues to offer a platform where momentum can swing quickly in their favour.
