Melbourne Stars Form
The Stars dropped their first game of the season on Friday, being chased down in the final overs by the Heat. Setting a respectable 6/195 off their 20 overs the Stars looked comfortable heading towards what would have been their 5th straight win, Marcus Stoinis top scoring with 43 runs.
But an astonishing run from the Heat batters needing 76 runs off the final 5 overs ended with a boundary with 2 balls remaining. The Stars bowling attack faltering at the last hurdle. Both Peter Siddle and Mitch Swepson took 2 wickets in the match.
Melbourne still lead the standings with a 4-1 record and will stay a top no matter the result of the Hurricanes result with the Canes having 2 losses in their column already.
Melbourne Renegades Form
The Renegades sunk to another loss on New Year’s Day, this time to the Sydney Sixers by 6 wickets with 5 balls remaining. Melbourne were sent in to bat first and while Tim Seifert (8) and Mohammad Rizwan (6) both went cheaply, Josh Brown (43) and Jake Fraser-McGurk (38) steadied the ship. But once the wickets started tumbling it was all over the Gaders.
The Melbourne bowling attack struggled to make any early inroads, not grabbing their first wicket until the 7th over. Gurinder Sandhu took 2 off his 4 overs for a great 5.75 economy but it didn’t help the cause to win.
Melbourne are allowing 9.6 sixes per game to their opponents over their last 5 matches.
