Cricket Free Tips | BBL 2021/22, Match 43: Melbourne Stars vs Adelaide Strikers

The Melbourne Stars will meet the Adelaide Strikers on Monday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Melbourne Stars and Adelaide Strikers are both in the bottom half of the table; therefore, this is a must-win game for both teams. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the Stars’ previous match was cancelled.

On the other hand, Adelaide Strikers are in serious trouble in this tournament, having lost six games in a row. They won the match against the Hobart Hurricanes by chasing down a 127-run target, but they need to win all the remaining games to advance in the standings. As a result, we may expect an exciting match at the MCG.
