PREVIEW : MELBOURNE STARS VS SYDNEY THUNDER
Sydney Thunder will lock horns against Melbourne Stars on Friday night at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Thunder started BBL11 with a win against the Brisbane Heat, where they dominated the Heats and registered a 7 wicket victory. Whereas, Melbourne Stars, started their season with a humongous loss against the defending champions, Sydney Sixers. Also, Stars added their name to an elite list of being defeated by the huge number of runs. Stars showed a lack of intent and skills both in their batting and bowling. Moreover, the team showed their weakness to tackle the spin attack and lost the majority of wickets on the spin in their last game. Can Melbourne Stars register their first win of the season or will the Thunder win two matches in a row? Here are all the match details of the encounter between Melbourne Stars vs Sydney Thunder.
