Glenn Maxwell

Tough times call for some inspiration. Stars, in Glenn Maxwell have possibly the best Aussie T20 Cricketer and they will badly be wanting him to stand up and make an impact.

Max Bryant

This year's Big Bash League had been another entertaining one, and the teams will be ready to go following the New Year's Eve festivities and celebrations. However, the Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Stars cannot afford to party as they finish 2024 in poor form, with the teams desperate for a chance off to a winning start in 2025. At home, and as current BBL champions, the Brisbane Heat will fancy their chances in this game. Despite losing their last two matches throughout the tournament, they have already defeated the Melbourne Stars and will be confident of repeating their victory at the MCG.

Topmost Picks for BH vs MS Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Melbourne Stars

• Ben Duckett –  Ben Duckett has got good starts in both games thus far he scored 19 off 13 balls in the first match and then scored 29 off 19 balls in the last game.
• Adam Milne – Adam Milne has been sensational in all formats heading into this tournament. Even though Milne has struggled in the first two matches we expect him to continue his form.

Top Picks – Brisbane Heat

• Nathan McSweeney – Nathan McSweeney has started this season well and scored a half-century in his first match.
• Spencer Johnson –  Spencer Johnson will aim to use his experience and bowl tight spells in the middle overs.

BH vs MS Probable Winners:

Although Duckett remains in excellent form, and any T20 team featuring Glenn Maxwell should never be underestimated, the Brisbane Heat appear to be far stronger. Melbourne Stars were well beaten in all five of their games, and we expect them to be at the receiving end once more in this fixture. Considering the team combination, Brisbane Heat is expected to win this match.

BH vs MS Match Preview

It's early in the Big Bash League 2024-25 season, and the Melbourne Stars will face the Brisbane Heat in the fourth game. The Melbourne Stars will face pressure after losing to the Perth Scorchers in their season opener. The Brisbane Heat will look to get off to a strong start during the tournament. They are the reigning champs and will look to continue where they left off last season.

Considering the team combination, Brisbane Heat is expected to win this match.

BH-W vs MS-W Match Preview

The Women's Big Bash League 2024 has seen some good games, and the 10th game between the Brisbane Heat Women and the Melbourne Stars Women should be a close contest. The Brisbane Heat Women have performed admirably, defeating the Melbourne Renegades Women before arriving. The Melbourne Stars Women lost their most recent game against the Sydney Thunder Women. The Melbourne Stars Women have had trouble against the Brisbane Heat Women, winning just once in their last five games. The batting lineup has had trouble in both games, which will concern the team. The Brisbane Heat Women prevailed in both games, and their key players are in good form. It will be interesting to see whether the Melbourne Stars can mount a strong challenge.

BH-W vs MS-W Probable Winners:

In terms of batting, the Melbourne Stars Women appear to be rusty. Their batting lineup isn't producing runs, and the team needs a better performance from the top as well as middle order.

Considering the team combination, Brisbane Heat-W is expected to win this match.

The Stars sink to the bottom of the table after a whimper with the bat. Their season has struggled to get going and the upcoming game looks like one way traffic as well for them.

Rhys McKenna

Rhys is off to an explosive start. She finished the innings well in the previous game and has the ability to pierce that gaps while timing the ball over the ropes well too.

MS-W vs BH-W Probable Winners:

The Melbourne Stars Women have performed poorly in their last three games, and they will be under pressure to win this game to keep their hopes alive. In order for the team to win, the bowling attack must perform well. The Brisbane Heat Women have won their last two games and are on a roll, making them favorites. Considering the team combination, Brisbane Heat-W is expected to win this match.

Brisbane Heat made an encouraging comeback last season, surging to the Finals after struggling in the bottom two mid-way through the tournament. They have a strong unit and are likely to have Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne for the first game allowing them an opportunity to get the tournament off to a good start.

Melbourne Stars were with them in the bottom two last season before Heat flew up. They finished last with only three wins and had to battle injury concerns with Glenn Maxwell out due to a broken leg. He is back now and is in the form of his life and will be waiting to get out and make up for the lost time in the Big Bash League.

Date: December 7th, 2023

Time:  1:45 AM IST

Venue: Gabba, Brisbane

BH vs MS Weather Report

The weather looks pretty clear for the upcoming fixture.

BH vs MS Pitch Report

The Gabba, known for its fast pitch and bounce usually plays flat in the BBL. It is pretty fresh though with the Australian summer yet to get under way and could be good for batting. Runs on the board will be a better option with teams looking for the chance to bat their opponents out of the game early on.

BH vs MS Predicted Playing XI

BH Playing XI

Josh Brown, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Matt Renshaw, Jimmy Peirson, Max Bryant, Michael Neser, Matthew Kuhnemann, Mitchell Swepson, Jack Wood, Spencer Johnson

MS Playing XI

Joe Burns, Sam Harper, Glenn Maxwell, Hilton Cartwright, Liam Dawson, Marcus Stoinis, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Imad Wasim, Mark Steketee, Scott Boland/ Joel Paris, Haris Rauf

BH vs MS Key Players

Spencer Johnson

The last year has been pretty good for Spencer Johnson. After a lot of toil, he got into the national team and also impressed Josh Hazlewood with his pace. He is a talent to watch and with his left-arm angle, he could be seen as a replacement for Mitchell Starc in the years to come as well.

Glenn Maxwell

After a freak injury threatened to derail his career Glenn Maxwell returns and is looking very solid. The last three months have been really good and he is back on Australian pitches. He missed last season as the Stars crumbled and now will need to be waiting to give it back and get the Stars on the board early.

BH vs MS Match Tips

Both sides have some superstars and a lot of local talent. Melbourne Stars though with some seasoned T20 cricketers could find themselves a little more confident this time.

Match Prediction: Melbourne Stars Will Win the Match
