The Big Bash party is back as the Australian Summer peaks. The Sydney Sixers were pretty solid last year and built a formidable line-up this time around. Melbourne Stars failed to qualify, falling just short but will be eagerly looking to get above this time. Glenn Maxwell’s injury though leaves them short of a very important player.

ST vs MS Key Players

Tanveer Sangha

Last season Tanveer Sangha was a break through bowler. He did a very good job, took a handful of wickets with his spin and was really tough to get away. With his spin, Sangha will continue to be a huge threat.

Trent Boult

At 33, Trent Boult begins his journey as a freelancer. He does not have a national contract, and is in the BBL for the first time. His left-arm pace will be a valuable asset to the Melbourne line-up as they look to go one better than last season.

ST vs MS Match Tips

Melbourne Stars have some bowling depth but their batting is an issue especially without Glenn Maxwell. With gaps in their line-up, Sydney Thunder come in with a better chance.
