SIX vs STA Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: BBL 2022/23 Match 15 | SS vs MS Dream11 Prediction Today | SCG Pitch Report
It’s time for Boxing Day BBL. Sydney Sixers, who got on the board with an important win against Hurricanes last week, will be aiming to make it two from two against Melbourne Stars. The Stars themselves will be seeking to recover after getting hit all over the park against the Scorchers on December 23, with spotlight on a bowling attack that can produce more.
Who will step up in this clash? Both teams have shown glimpses with the bat, without fully firing yet apart from Joe Clarke hitting a century against Hurricanes ten days ago. Good conditions are expected, so the opportunity for runs is there.
