STR vs STA Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing-11 Updates for Today's BBL Match - Jan 11th, 2021

Match 36 of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2021 has the Adelaide Strikers taking on Melbourne Stars at the Adelaide Oval on Monday.

Both the Strikers and the Stars have blown hot and cold but are still running for a playoff spot. The Strikers have lacked consistency with the bat with only Alex Carey coming up with the goods in the middle order.

However, their bowling attack is arguably the best in the competition with Wes Agar and Rashid Khan picking up over 20 wickets between them. They will be without the services of Peter Siddle, who injured himself against the Renegades.

2019 runners-up Melbourne Stars, meanwhile, have won three out of their eight games and are placed near the bottom of the Big bash points table. Apart from the duo of Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell, no other player has performed with the bat. Andre Fletcher has so far been underwhelming at the top of the order.

Their bowling attack has managed to hold things together with Liam Hatcher leading the way with ten wickets. They lost their previous BBL 2021 fixture and will look to move up in the points table on Monday.

However, they will be without Nicholas Pooran, whose stint with the Stars has come to an end. It will make things all the more difficult for Maxwell and Co.

While the Strikers hold the edge in this game, Melbourne Stars have enough firepower in both departments to spring a surprise. With either side eyeing a return to winning ways, an exciting clash between the Stars and the Strikers beckons at the Adelaide Oval in BBL 2021.

Pitch Report

The Adelaide Oval dished out a good batting track earlier in the week, which should be the case on Monday as well. While the ball should come onto the bat fairly well, the pacers should get the ball to swing early on in the powerplay. Apart from the extra bounce, the spinners should get the ball to grip and turn.

With this being an evening fixture, both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss. 170 should be par at this venue with the pitch likely to slow down as the match progresses.
