In the Melbourne derby of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2021-22, Melbourne Stars will take on Melbourne Renegades in Match No.33 on Monday (January 3). Both sides are placed at the bottom half of the table and it’s going to be a crucial game for them. Melbourne Stars lost their previous match against Perth Scorchers by 50 runs.
The COVID-19 ravaged Melbourne Stars fielded one of the most unusual and least experienced teams in BBL history with up to six players in line to make their club debuts under a brand new coaching staff. Captain Glenn Maxwell has dodged the outbreak that has forced 10 Stars players, which has now increased to 12, and eight support staff into isolation, and led an XI against Perth Scorchers that had at least six changes from their last outing.
Melbourne Renegades are in deep trouble in this tournament as they placed at the bottom of the standings with 6.5 points. Every game is a must-win for them. They need to break the losing streak if they want to move up in the points table.
