BBL 2021: STA vs THU Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing11, Captain Picks, Fantasy Tips, Live streaming details – December 10
Sitting at the bottom of the points table, Melbourne Stars had one of the worst starts in the ongoing BBL 2021 edition. Pitted against defending champions Sydney Sixers, Maxwell’s side suffered 152 runs defeat in the tournament opener last Sunday. Opting to bowl, Melbourne Stars’ bowlers were thrashed all over the park as Sydney Sixers posted a massive 213 runs total on the board. In reply, they were bowled out for mere 66 runs with just 2 batsmen managing to score in double digits.
However, Stars do have plenty of match-winners in their ranks in the likes of Glenn Maxwell, Adam Zampa, Marcus Stoinis. And, also it was a pretty young side and the Team Green will be eying to go all guns blazing. They have signed Andre Russell as their new signing and Stoinis – who missed the opening game is also likely to get back in the playing XI.

Sydney Thunder, on the opposite, had an ideal start to its campaign, registering 7 wickets win over Brisbane Heat in the opener last Monday. Opting to bowl, the bowlers did a decent job in restricting the opposition to a modest total of 140 runs. However, it was the match-winning knocks from Sam Billings and Alex Ross who bailed out the side after facing a triple blow inside the powerplay.
Led by Chris Green, Thunder have plenty of power-hitters in Alex Hales, Sam Billings, Alex Ross, and have a big batting lineup with Daniel Sams and Ben Cutting coming to bat at number 7. And, are expected to feature the same against Maxwell’s side in tomorrow’s fixture.
