The 13th match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2021-22 will see the Sydney Sixers (SIX) lock horns with the Melbourne Stars (STA) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Wednesday.
Although the Sixers started their BBL campaign in fine fashion, they did lose their previous game to the Hobart Hurricanes. They will be itching to return to winning ways at the expense of the Melbourne Stars, who have been impressive since their opening day loss to the Sixers. With the likes of Glenn Maxwell and Andre Russell firing on all cylinders, the Stars will head into the game as the favorites. But with the Sixers also boasting a power-packed roster, an entertaining game beckons at the iconic MCG.

STA vs SIX, BBL 2021-22, Match 13
Date and Time: 15th December 2021, 1:45 PM IST
Venue: Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne
Pitch Report
A competitive track beckons at the MCG with the dimensions of the ground likely to play a big role in this game. Although the pacers should get some pace and bounce off the surface, there isn't much movement on offer. The batters will have to run well between the wickets given the dimensions of the ground, which should ideally play into the spinners' hands. As the match progresses, the pitch could get slower, making for a good contest in the middle overs. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 160 being a good total at the venue.
Today’s STA vs SIX Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Joe Clarke: Joe Clarke is one of the most promising youngsters in the BBL, but his returns so far haven't been great. He has a good head on his shoulders and is capable of scoring quick runs at the top of the order, making him a good addition in your STA vs SIX Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
James Vince: James Vince, like Joe Clarke, is due for a big knock this BBL season. He has got off to a couple of starts, but hasn't been able to convert them, something he will be keen to do in this fixture.
All-rounder
Daniel Christian: Daniel Christian is one of the best all-rounders in the business, providing balance and depth to the Sixers set-up. He has shown glimpses of what he is capable of in this format and should turn up in a decent performance on a pitch that should suit his big-hitting ability and clever variations.
Bowler
Adam Zampa: Adam Zampa has been one of the best bowlers in the BBL over the last few seasons. His leg-spin is often the Stars' go-to weapon in the middle overs, but he has only one wicket this season. Given the nature of the track, he should pick a wicket or two, making for a good selection in your STA vs SIX Dream11 fantasy team.
