Our betting tips for this match
It is early days in the Big Bash League 2024-25, and we will have the Melbourne Stars face the Brisbane Heat in the 4th game of the season. The Melbourne Stars will be under pressure after losing against the Perth Scorchers in the season opener. Brisbane Heat will look to make a strong start in the tournament. They are the defending champions and shall look to start from where they left off last season.
The Brisbane Heat have a strong batting lineup, which will make the side confident. It is a must-win game for the Melbourne Stars to put their campaign back on track. It will be a big challenge for the team after the demoralizing loss in the last game. They play at home and seeing if they can take advantage of the conditions will be interesting. Thomas Rogers and Joe Clarke failed in the last game, and the team needs the pair to deliver a strong start. The middle order failed to build partnerships in the last game. Stoinis will look to lead from the front and build partnerships with Sam Harper and Hilton Cartwright. Beau Webster and Tom Curran are good hitters, and their performances in the lower middle order are crucial. The team will be worried about the form of its bowlers as they didn't shine against the Scorchers. Adam Milne and Peter Siddle must bowl better spells with the new ball and pick early wickets.
Colin Munro's team will begin its campaign in this game. They won the title convincingly in the last edition and shall look to draw inspiration from their performance. The side was consistent last season, and Munro would like a repeat of this. They have a good record against the Melbourne Stars, and the Brisbane Heat skipper would like to add to this record. The team will expect a good start from Mitchell Swepson and Spencer Johnson and put the Melbourne Stars under pressure. Xavier Bartlett was the leading wicket-taker last season, and he must do well in the middle overs with Matthew Kuhnemann. Nathan McSweeney and Jack Wildermuth complete a strong attack for the team.
