The Stars are now top of the table and the form team of the tournament, having secured their fourth consecutive win against Adelaide away. They seem to have good performers in every category. Brad Hodge has got himself in prime operation, becoming the second player to pass 200 competition runs after a quality 88 against the Strikers. Even at 38, he is still one of the most dangerous batsmen in the country. The Stars will regain Luke Wright and Shane Warne, while Glenn Maxwell is likely to be unavailable after being called up to the Test squad as cover for Shane Watson.
The Heat are in ok form, despite being third last. They nearly beat the Renegades at Etihad and had a comfortable win against the Thunder at their last start. Ben Cutting is consistently performing at a high level, having taken the most wickets (6) for Brisbane and averaging 26 with the bat. National duties can’t be too far off. Chris Lynn produced another half century and is now averaging 40.33 and striking at a very respectable 140.69.
Heat are travelling well at the moment but the Stars should be too strong.
Big Bash League,
Brisbane Heat v Melbourne Stars at Brisbane
TIP:Melbourne Stars by 25 runs/ 6 wickets
