Everything you should know about Melbourne Stars vs. Perth Scorchers
Due to a forearm injury, Stars captain Glenn Maxwell will not be playing in the match. Therefore, all eyes will be on Marcus Stoinis to step up and guide the team to a crucial victory. In the opening game of the season, the Australian white-ball all-rounder managed just two runs without bowling and got a cover off Heat spinner Matthew Kuhnemann. After missing Australia’s World Cup final victory over India, he will be looking to get back among the runs early this Big Bash season.
Maxwell is out of Stars’ matchup with the defending champions.
The star-studded pace attack of the Scorchers will get another chance to exploit a misfiring Stars lineup after being frustrated by the GMHBA Stadium pitch on Sunday, which prevented them from having a chance with the ball. For nearly ten years, Jason Behrendorff has been one of the top bowlers in the league, and he was just called up to the Australian T20I team for their tour of South Africa and India. Witnessing Jhye Richardson in action is a pleasure. He recovered from a dislocated shoulder to win the final Marsh Sheffield Shield match before the BBL break, scoring 4-36 and 1-27. And Andrew Tye never stops taking wickets; he finished the previous season with 25 to tie for second place in the standings.
