TEAMS PREVIEW
Melbourne Stars Preview
Marcus Stoinis' team didn't have a great outing in their opening game. It was a poor batting effort by the team against the Perth Scorchers that saw them go down by 6 wickets. They have a poor record against the Brisbane Heat, and Stoinis would like his team to make a quick comeback and not repeat their history of denting hopes in the first half.
Thomas Rogers and Joe Clarke failed in the last game, and the team needs the pair to deliver a strong start. The middle order failed to build partnerships in the last game. Stoinis will look to lead from the front and build partnerships with Sam Harper and Hilton Cartwright. Beau Webster and Tom Curran are good hitters, and their performances in the lower middle order are crucial.
The team will be worried about the form of its bowlers as they didn't shine against the Scorchers. Adam Milne and Peter Siddle must bowl better spells with the new ball and pick early wickets. Tom Curran did well, and he will look to put the Brisbane Heat under pressure with Brody Couch. Hamish McKenzie, Webster, and Stoinis must do well in the ing role.
Melbourne Stars Predicted Playing XI:
Marcus Stoinis (c), Thomas Fraser Rogers, Joe Clarke, Sam Harper (wk), Hilton Cartwright, Beau Webster, Tom Curran, Hamish McKenzie, Adam Milne, Brody Couch, Peter Siddle

Brisbane Heat Preview
Colin Munro's team will begin its campaign in this game. They won the title convincingly in the last edition and shall look to draw inspiration from their performance. The side was consistent last season, and Munro would like a repeat of this. They have a good record against the Melbourne Stars, and the Brisbane Heat skipper would like to add to this record.
Jimmy Peirson will look to deliver a good start in this game with Tom Alsop, as Melbourne Stars' struggled in the last game. The middle order is strong, and they want partnerships between Nathan McSweeney, Matt Renshaw, and Colin Munro. Jack Wildermuth and Xavier Bartlett add firepower to the batting.
The team will expect a good start from Mitchell Swepson and Spencer Johnson and put the Melbourne Stars under pressure. Xavier Bartlett was the leading wicket-taker last season, and he must do well in the middle overs with Matthew Kuhnemann. Nathan McSweeney and Jack Wildermuth complete a strong attack for the team.
Brisbane Heat Predicted Playing XI:
Colin Munro (c), Jimmy Peirson (wk), Tom Alsop, Matt Renshaw, Xavier Bartlett, Mitchell Swepson, Matthew Kuhnemann, Will Prestwidge, Jack Wildermuth, Nathan McSweeney, Spencer Johnson

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
There would be overcast skies over Melbourne on December 18. The wicket shall be slow, and batsmen would have to play to the merit of the ball. Bowlers will get assistance from the surface. The average first innings score is 141 runs, and the team batting first would be happy to score more than 160 on this track.
MLS vs BH Pitch Report
Melbourne Cricket Ground has a good surface for batting. However, we have seen slowness in recent games. Batsmen who spend time at the crease do well at this venue. Fast bowlers get assistance from the wicket with the new ball. Spinners enjoy bowling here as the large ground doesn't allow batsmen to play big shots.
Toss: To Bowl
It has been a happy hunting ground for sides that have cased scores. We have seen low scores, and the side batting first has struggled in recent games at this venue. Hence, we expect to see the side winning the toss have no hesitation in bowling first.
MLS vs BH
Winning Prediction
The Melbourne Stars have started the season with a loss. The side struggled in the last edition with the bat, and there was no relief from the problem in their opening game. The Brisbane Heat have a strong batting lineup and enjoy an excellent record against the Melbourne Stars. They are the defending champions and shall start slightly ahead in this game.
