Melbourne Stars vs Brisbane Heat Preview
Melbourne Stars and Brisbane Heat will go head to head at Manuka Oval to kick off their 2020/21 campaigns.
The Stars should have won the BBL Final last year but couldn’t get the job done in the final match of the season.
I still think they’ll be a dominant force this year so I’m backing them here.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Melbourne Stars to win at $1.52 odds.
