Preview

(STA vs SIX)is the 28th Big Bash League (BBL) 2025 game. The Melbourne Cricket Ground is the venue for this game. In Saturday’s derby at the MCG, the Melbourne Stars defeated the Melbourne Renegades. The Stars had once been lowered to 3/2, but Ben Duckett’s half-century set up the chase. Renegades set them a target of 168, which they managed to reach with five wickets remaining.

The Melbourne Stars, who have only won two of their last seven games, are at the bottom of the standings and will be hoping to improve. However, with four victories in six games, the Sydney Sixers are atop the standings and have been playing well all tournament long. Rain forced the cancellation of their prior game against the Brisbane Heat.

The return of Steven Smith will help the Sydney Sixers, who appear to be the stronger team on paper. However, the Melbourne Stars will play at home, giving them a chance to string several victories together to maintain their playoff aspirations. The Sydney Sixers are the small favourites on paper, but don’t discount the hosts in what should be an exciting matchup between these two teams.
