Melbourne Stars vs Sydney Sixers head to head: STA vs SIX head to head record in BBL history

The 31st match of the ongoing 12th season of the Big Bash League will be played between Melbourne Stars and Sydney Sixers in Melbourne tomorrow.

Third match to be played at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground will be the fourth home affair for Stars this season. Having won only one home match thus far, Stars are expected to do much better than this especially on familiar venues. Overall, Melbourne have won two and lost five BBL 12 matches to be struggling at the bottom of the points table.

Sixers, on the other hand, have won four and lost three to be at the fourth position as of now. The runners-up of the last season have won only one out of their four away matches this season and would want to get their act together ahead of the business end of the tournament.
