SIX vs STA Match Preview
The Sydney Sixers will play hosts to a team that is on a downward spiral this season when they play Melbourne Stars on the boxing Day in Sydney.
Coming into the contest, the Sixers appear to be the form team, having won all the three games. Though they may have wished that the games had not come at the expense of being too close to call. The last game with Adelaide Strikers could have ended in a heartbreak for them as Jamie Overton threatened to take away the match when 18 were needed off the final ball. In the end Ben Dwarshuis held his nerve and the Sixers won by just 1 run.
Meanwhile, Melbourne Stars are on the wrong end of the results with them losing all their games that too quite comprehensively. The stars have lost 10 of their last 11 games in the BBL. They will be hoping for the likes of Maxwell, Stoinis and Haris Rauf to find some form and pull them out of this rut.
