Big Bash League STA vs SIX Dream11 Prediction

After three back-to-back defeats, Melbourne Stars have found the momentum as they are on a four-game winning run at the moment. They are 4th in the points table with four wins and three losses. The Stars defeated Melbourne Renegades by 8 wickets in their last game and will be eager to extend their winning run.

On the other hand, Sydney Sixers are having another strong season. They are 3rd in the points table with three wins and two losses after seven matches. Their two games were washed out because of the rain. The Sixers lost their last game to Brisbane Heat by 3 runs in a rain-affected game. They will look to bounce back by winning the away fixtures against the impressive Stars.

Melbourne Cricket Ground Pitch Report

It is more of a batting surface as the pace and bounce are consistent off this surface. The dimensions of this ground are big and there will be plenty of singles and doubles available for the batters. However, the big dimensions will allow the spinners to be brave and trouble the batters. In two matches at the MCG this season, the team batting second has won both games.

Last result at the venue

Melbourne Renegades (147/4 in 20 overs) lost to Melbourne Stars (148/4 in 18.4 overs) by 6 wickets – 4 January 2024
