The 10th BBL 2025 match between the Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Stars will take place at Adelaide Oval, Adelaide on Tuesday. The Strikers had an excellent start to the tournament, winning their opening match by three wickets against the Sydney Sixers and currently stand in fifth position in the points table.

Coming off a successful year, the Stars took no time in winning an eight-wicket victory over the Hobart Hurricanes in their season opener. With its dominant display, expectations were set early and it should quickly boost belief going forward.
