Melbourne Stars (STA) will host the Sydney Sixers (SIX) in match number 28 of the BBL 2024-25 season at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The much-awaited contest will be played on Thursday, January 9 and the action is slated to commence from 1:45 PM IST onwards.

The Melbourne Stars team has recorded two successive wins over Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Renegades over the past one week. However, the Stars are still languishing at the bottom of the BBL 2024-25 points table, considering their twin wins were preceded by five straight defeats. Moreover, the Stars’ NRR also currently stands at a dismal -0.531.

The Sydney Sixers, on the other hand, are placed at the top of the eight-team BBL 2024-25 standings for registering four wins from their five completed fixtures of the season so far. They incurred their lone defeat against Hobart Hurricanes on January 1 before their match against Brisbane Heat was washed out due to rains. Led by charismatic all-rounder Moises Henriques, the Sixers also has the best NRR among all teams at the moment, 0.228.
