Preview :

Melbourne Stars will take on Brisbane Heat in the 44th match of the Big Bash League 2022-23 edition at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne on January 16, 2022 (Monday).

Things have been so lackadaisical for Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Stars this season that they are the two bottom-placed sides in the tournament so far. Both sides have just three wins each so far and in all probability, they are out of contention for a spot in the qualifiers.

Melbourne Stars are at the last spot on the table, having won only three out of their 11 matches while losing eight. In the most recent fixture, they lost the derby by six runs after being in dominant position.

Liam Hatcher and Brody Couch bagged two scalps each, although the latter was expensive. Chasing 163, Joe Clarke and Thomas Rogers got them off to a flying start with 88 on the board in under nine overs. Clarke smashed 59 off 38 to put the Stars in a strong position. It was a deja vu for them as they needed 54 off 51 with eight wickets remaining and they collapsed.

Brisbane Heat are placed seventh on the table with 7 points to their credit. The men in teal have won three and lost six while one ended in a no result. They’re coming off a 17-run victory over Adelaide Strikers away from home on Saturday.

Josh Brown smashed 26 off 16 while Marnus Labuschagne held the innings together with an excellent 46 off 33. But they lost wickets at the back end, folding for 154. Matthew Kuhnemann was excellent, dismissing Travis Head and Chris Lynn while conceding 26 off four. James Bazley shared 3 for 30 as they held off the Strikers.
