Aus T20 League 2021-22

Match 43: STA vs STR

Preview 

Stars will lock horns with Strikers in match 43 of the ongoing edition of the Aus T20 League at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground on Monday. It's a must win game for both sides considering their position in the league standings. This fixture was scheduled for Jan 7 but it was abandoned due to the pandemic. With Maxwell out, Zampa will lead the Stars unit. They are currently tottering at the bottom of the table with 10 points to their name. Strikers are just a rung above with 13 points. 

Stars have been miserable in the T20 competition so far. Batting department has shown no flair or intent of any sort. To add to their misery, Maxwell will sit out the remainder of the tournament due to COVID. Hilton Cartwright has been their lone warrior with bat in hand. Brody Couch and Adam Zampa will lead the inexperienced bowling attack. They faced a heavy 50 run loss against Scorchers in the last game they played. 

Strikers chances of making it through the next round are slim. They have been awful by their standards and will be disappointed with how they have performed up till this point. With nothing to lose, the men in blue will be keen to put on a good show. Batting department has the likes of Weathreald, Renshaw and Short. Rashid Khan will shoulder the responsibility of the bowling prowess which has Agar and Worrall in the mix.
