Who will win Melbourne Stars vs Sydney Sixers BBL 32nd match?

Melbourne Stars and Sydney Sixers are set to clash in the 32nd match of the ongoing Big Bash League 2016-17. The Melbourne Cricket Ground will be the setting for this final league-stage fixture to be played on January 21. Live action is scheduled to begin at 7:25 PM local time.

Sydney Sixers

Team News

The team seems to be in a pretty good shape with all their players physically fit. No changes are expected to take place in their playing eleven for this upcoming fixture.

Key Players

Daniel Hughes and skipper Moises Henriques will be the team’s best bet with the bat. The former has hit two fifties in this year’s BBL and is averaging 54 at the moment. Melbourne Stars will be wary of Sean Abbott who is currently the leading wicket-taker of the season with 15 wickets. The fast bowler took two big wickets in the last game and we predict him to be the best bowler for the Sixers.

Recent Form

Sydney Sixers have won four and lost three of their seven league matches and are two places below the Stars on the fourth spot in the standings. After winning back-to-back games against Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Renegades, they suffered a heavy loss at the hands of Sydney Thunder in their last match.

Sydney Sixers Predicted XI

DP Hughes, MJ Lumb, NJ Maddinson, MC Henriques (c), C Munro, BJ Haddin (wk), J Botha, SA Abbott, BJ Dwarshuis, NM Lyon and JM Bird.

Melbourne Stars

Team News

The team has a good chance of being bolstered by the return of one of their five international players (most likely Marcus Stoinis) who are currently in the Australian squad for the Pakistan ODI series. Adam Zampa is certain to miss this match.

Key Players

Kevin Pietersen and Luke Wright are the two most reliable batsmen for the Melbourne Stars. Pietersen has scored the most number of runs for the side in this season of BBL and we predict him to top-score on Saturday night. Ben Hilfenhaus and Scott Boland have taken eleven wickets each and these two seamers will be the key when it comes to bowling.

Recent Form

Melbourne Stars are placed second on the points table after winning four and losing three of their seven league matches. They enjoyed a three-match winning streak before being defeated by the Brisbane Heat in the last match.

Melbourne Stars Predicted XI

RJ Quiney, LJ Wright, KP Pietersen, SE Gotch (wk), MP Stoinis, DJ Hussey (c), EP Gulbis, BW Hilfenhaus, SM Boland, Jackson Coleman and MA Beer.
