Melbourne Stars had a superb start to this season of Big Bash League. They won their most-played matches early but after that, they had lost three most recent matches continuously including one against Sydney Sixers but even after that, they are the top-performing team of this tournament so far. They won 10 out of 14 matches played at the league stage and are leading the points table with 20 points and an excellent run rate among all other teams. One big advantage that Melbourne Stars have in this match that they have their highest wicket-taker Haris Rauf back and he is available for the selection. Nathan Coulter-Nile, Daniel Worrall, Adam Zampa, and Glenn Maxwell will be leading the bowling department while Marcus Stoinis, Peter Handscomb, Glenn Maxwell, Nick Larkin, Nic Maddinson, and Ben Dunk will be leading the batting order of Stars.
