The 28th match of the Big Bash League 2023-24 will feature a clash between Sydney Sixers (SIX) and Melbourne Stars (STA) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday, January 6. When these two teams met in the first leg clash, it was the Stars who came out on top with a final victory. Currently, both the teams are in a similar position, having accumulated 8 points from 7 games each. A win here will be important as the race for qualification will soon heat up. If the Scorchers lose to the Strikers in the ongoing game, the winner of tomorrow’s game will go to the second spot in the points table.

The pitch at the Melbourne Cricket Ground is a balanced one which has something in it for both the batters and bowlers. It is not a track which deteriorates a lot and hence, the toss is not a big factor. The bigger boundaries ensure that the game is not as high-scoring as most of the matches that we see these days.
