Their bowling attack, led by Tom Curran, Haris Rauf, and Peter Siddle, has been effective, setting up achievable chase targets. Meanwhile, Brisbane Heat has struggled, particularly in away games.

The Heat will have played 3 games in 7 days come Friday with an unsuccessful trip to Adelaide on New Year’s Eve, while the Melbourne Stars have had a much calmer period in their schedule having 5 days off prior to the match in Brisbane.
Even if the tides were turned I would still be backing the Stars to get the victory over the Heat with Melbourne looking like the team to beat in BBL15, dominating their opponents in the opening 4 matches of their undefeated campaign.
A bowling attack led by Tom Curran (9 wickets), Haris Rauf (9 wickets) and Peter Siddle (8 wickets) have set modest totals for the likes of Joe Cook, Sam Harper and Marcus Stoinis to chase down in all 4 of their matches. Coming up against a worn out Heat the Stars will get another victory on Friday.
Back what’s working with Sam Harper to score over his batting total and at least one Melbourne Star to score a 50 on what has been a good wicket for batsmen this summer. Tom Curran has three 2+ wicket matches in a row and will make 4 against the Heat.
- Melbourne have won all 4 matches in BBL15
- A Stars batsmen has scored a 50 in each of their 4 matches
- Sam Harper has scored 29 runs or more in each of his 3 innings at bat.
- Tom Curran has 2+ wickets in his last 3 matches
Brisbane Heat Form
The Heat’s away woes have continued with thumping at the hands of the Adelaide Strikers who bowled them out for just 121 runs at the Adelaide Oval on New Year’s Eve.
Brisbane’s opening 5 batsmen were bowled for 18 runs TOTAL, before the middle-order, led by Hugh Weigben’s 28 runs and Matt Kuhnemann’s 31 runs, put up a very small resistance. The Heat then needed some quick wickets, which didn’t come, claiming their first with 51 runs on the board and the much was already lost.
The Heat have now lost all three matches away from the Gabba this season, unable to hit the same form with bat or ball outside of Brisbane.
Melbourne Stars Form
The Stars have gone from the favourites for the wooden spoon to the shortest odds to win it all after their 4-0 start to the BBL15 season.
As much as it is their undefeated status it is how they are doing it that has them as the favourites, winning all of their matches by 6 or more wickets and at least 11 balls to spare.
The depth in their batting squad is to be feared with Sam Harper scoring 194 runs in 3 innings, Joe Clarke 103 runs in 4 innings and Marcus Stoinis 94 runs in 2 innings, all of that and Glenn Maxwell still hasn’t done his annual runs explosion yet.
