Melbourne Stars will be facing Brisbane Heat in the important STA vs HEA Dream11 BBL game.

STA vs HEA Dream11 Captaincy Picks

1. Glenn Maxwell (10 credits) – Maxwell may have not been at his very best but has been one of the better performers of an otherwise struggling Stars batting unit. He has made 277 runs at a strike-rate of 139.19, including one hundred and one fifty.

2. Xavier Bartlett (8.5 credits) – Barlett has bowled well for the Brisbane Heat in BBL 2021-22, taking 11 wickets from his seven outings at an economy rate of 8.79.

3. Hilton Cartwright (9 credits) – Cartwright is Stars’ top run-getter of the competition with 344 runs at an average of 31.27 and strike-rate of 142.14.

STA vs HEA Dream11 Budget Picks

1. Adam Zampa (8.5 credits) – Stars wristspinner Zampa had an indifferent outing with the ball against Adelaide Strikers last match but has been reasonably good in the competition otherwise. He has taken 8 wickets with an economy rate of 7.71.

2. Sam Rainbird (8.5 credits) – Rainbird bowled an impressive spell of 2 for 25 off his 4 overs in Stars’ defeat versus the Strikers. He can be a handy budget pick if he continues in this vein.

3. Clint Hinchliffe (8 credits) – left-arm wristspinner Hinchliffe also bowled a fine spell of 2/21 in the game against Strikers for Stars. With the rarity of his left-arm angle, the wristspinner is expected to take more wickets in the next two league games for Stars.
