Match Details:

Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

Despite having some of the top players in their side, the Melbourne Stars have struggled this season. Wins have been hard to come by and it is been a disappointing season overall for them. After losing to the Melbourne Renegades on Saturday, they will be back on the field once again on Sunday for their last game against Brisbane Heat. By winning this match, they would like to salvage some pride.

However, it wouldn’t be an easy task for them to defeat someone who is second on the points table. The Brisbane Heat have had a great tournament and will hope to finish the league stages with yet another victory. Defeating the side that is last on the table shouldn’t be a herculean task for them. But at the same time, they can’t get too over complacent and should look to put their best foot forward.

Weather Report

Heavy rains are predicted throughout the day in Melbourne on Sunday. The chances of precipitation even during the hours of this match are quite high. Thus, it shouldn’t be a surprise if this game is washed out.
