Melbourne Stars will play their third match of the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25 against Adelaide Strikers on December 20 at the Adelaide Oval. The Strikers have started their tournament with a loss while the Melbourne Stars have already played two matches in the league and lost both of them.
Both teams will look to open their winning account. However, the Strikers will have a high chance of winning the match since they will be playing at their home ground. Both teams are unlikely to make any changes since the tournament has just started and they will continue to believe in their players.
Here is the Predicted Melbourne Stars’ Playing XI against Adelaide Strikers:
Top Order
Melbourne Stars’ opener Joe Clarke has a great experience in BBL. He has been playing in the tournament for a long time and has also performed well. On the other hand, his opening partner, young Thomas Fraser Rogers has just made his debut and might get rhythm in the upcoming match. Sam Harper will continue to bat at no. 3 as he scored 46 runs in the previous match.
Middle Order and All-rounders
Melbourne Stars have a lot of all-rounders in their team. Their skipper Marcus Stoinis will bat at no. 4 followed by Hilton Cartwright. Both were decent in their last outing but will try to get their team’s first win of the tournament. Beau Webster and Tom Curran will be the next batters.
Bowlers
The bowling department has been handed over to Hamish Mckenzie, Campbell Kellaway, Adam Milne and Brody Couch. Stars used all their bowlers in the last match but still couldn’t win the match.
Melbourne Stars’ predicted XI:
Joe Clarke, Thomas Fraser Rogers, Sam Harper, Marcus Stoinis, Hilton Cartwright, Beau Webster, Tom Curran, Hamish Mckenzie, Campbell Kellaway, Brody Couch, Adam Milne
