On Monday afternoon at the Sydney Cricket Ground, game 15 of the Big Bash League for 2022–23 will see the Sydney Sixers against the Melbourne Stars. Both clubs have played three games so far in the competition, losing two and winning one, with the Sixers picking up their first victory in their most recent contest. Sydney kicks off the game at 18:05 local time.
Sydney Sixers hopes that their victory over Hobart Hurricanes is the first of many victories after losing their first two games. Their team is just too powerful for them to be having trouble, so we anticipate them moving up the standings.
The Melbourne Stars were only able to win the game thanks to an outstanding inning from Joe Clarke, and they will need more from their entire team to win. They will be challenging to beat at the SCG if key players perform.

Sydney Sixers is the favorite to win this match.
Since it should be spectacular, we anticipate a sizable crowd to attend this game on Boxing Day in Sydney. Although both teams would have liked to have had more fabulous beginnings to the 2017 BBL, the Sixers were more impressive than the Stars in their most recent game. We are supporting the Sixers to win this game because many of their players have their most significant T20 records here.
