Melbourne Stars Vs Brisbane Heat – Match Prediction
Melbourne Stars Player Analysis
Glenn Maxwell is in incredible form. After his Return from Covid, he has performed well for his side. In his second-last Match against Melbourne Renegades, Maxwell scored a half-century. Also, he led his team to the last overs and won the game for his side. “Key player for Stars in the Next Match.”
Joe Clarke is a fantastic hitter of the Cricket ball. His delicate Scoops and shot selection makes him one of the impactful players in world cricket. He will open the innings in the coming matches and would love to contribute with his bat. “Brisbane Heat needs to get him off in the early overs.”
Hilton Cartwright is one of the biggest hitters of the cricket ball. We have witnessed him stand and deliver in the last overs of the game. Also, he scored a fifty in the previous Match against the Heat and dominated all their bowlers.
Brisbane Heat Player Analysis
Chris Lynn has the ability to win the Match – single-handedly. Hence he needs to build his consistency with the bat in the upcoming games. Lynn has performed decent in the 11th edition, but he still is a dangerous player to watch out for in the next game.
The Right Arm Afghan off Spinner Mujeeb is outstanding with his spin bowling. He has performed well in the 11 Seasons of Bbl. for the Brisbane heats. Hence he would get some assistance from the pitch in the next Match to dismiss the opponents in a low score.
The Pakistan Player – Fakher Zaman has the ability to pull off big sixes and score for his side. Hence he has played fewer games, and heats need to back him in the upcoming games.
