Melbourne Stars Need 150 To Win The Match
Melbourne Stars have lost the momentum and will have to bat immensely well to register their first win of the season. Max Bryant's excellent unbeaten 77 off 48 has guided the side with a score to fight.
Melbourne Stars have played 5 matches and eded up losing every one of those, and due to that, their chances of qualification for the playoffs are all but over.
Brisbane Heat, on the other hand, have won two matches and lost two matches, and will be looking to seal their third win of the season, as the race for semis is heating up.
The top order of Brisbane Heat failed to fire, as the overcast and swining conditions helped the case of the visitors in the opening spell.
In the bowling department, Brisbane Heat will be missing the key services of Michael Neser, and the role of Xavier Bartlett and Spencer Johnson now becomes utmost important.
