THE LOWDOWN
MELBOURNE STARS
- Melbourne Stars’ hopes of making the play-offs were all but ended in the Melbourne derby on Saturday as they lost a close encounter with Melbourne Renegades by six runs.
- After the openers had given them platform, it was a middle order collapse which scuppered their chances, typical of their struggles this season.
BRISBANE HEAT
- Brisbane Heat’s crucial 17-run-triumph against Adelaide Strikers last time out keeps them in with a chance of reaching the play-offs provided they can finish the group stage strongly.
- Marnus Labuschagne stepped up for the Heat with a vital 46, whilst all five Brisbane bowlers utilised ending up gaining at least one wicket for their team.
THE PREDICTION
It’s hard to see Melbourne Stars bouncing back from that crushingly narrow defeat against their nearest rivals which has pretty much scuppered their chances of progressing in this season’s men’s BBL. They have lost key players which has had a big impact and the team just looks extremely weak on paper. Brisbane Heat won’t have a better chance to capitalise on the Stars’ struggles and are desperate for the points. Back the visitors to ultimately claim those points.
