Adam Zampa’s Melbourne Stars will host Brisbane Heat in Match No. 44 of the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) 2022-23 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Monday (January 16). The Stars are coming into this game on the back of a heartbreaking loss to the Melbourne Renegades after they failed to chase down 15 runs in 12 balls to lose by six runs in derby clash.
Chasing 163 to win, the Stars were restricted to 156 for 7 and are now placed at the bottom of the table with just three wins from their first 11 games. Brisbane Heat defeated Adelaide Strikers by 17 runs in their last match to register their only third win of the season. James Bazley took three wickets while defending 154 runs, while Matthew Kuhnemann grabbed two.
The Heat are now in the seventh position with seven points from 10 games. However, they lost against the Stars earlier this season and have lost three of their last five encounters as well.
