Facts:
- Melbourne Stars failed to qualify for the playoffs in the last three BBL seasons.
- Brisbane Heat won one Big Bash League title and finished as the runner up of BBL season 12.
- Brisbane Heat won two of the last three matches played against the Melbourne Stars in BBL.
Brisbane Heat vs Melbourne Stars Chance of Winning
Brisbane Heat came up short and lost the finals against the Perth Scorchers by five wickets in BBL 12. Colin Munro returns to the Brisbane Heat for a second stint in his BBL career and the other key signings for the Heat are Sam Billings. One of the newest signings in the BBL this season is that of the big hitting left arm fast bowling all-rounder from Essex, Paul Walter. The Heat has a young and exciting bowling attack that can trouble the finest T20 batsman. The unavailability of Micheal Neser, Matthew Renshaw and Jimmy Pearson will dent the Heat’s chances of winning against the Stars.
Melbourne Stars had a forgettable season the last time around where they finished dead last with three wins from 14 matches. The Stars missed the services of Glenn Maxwell in BBL 12 and his return provides the much needed balance to the squad. Maxwell has been in phenomenal form and the Stars will rely on “The Big Show” to fire big time. Marcus Stoinis and Nathan Coulter Nile are the other key players to watch out for in the season opener.
- Brisbane Heat’s chance of winning: 54%
- Melbourne Stars chance of winning: 46%

Brisbane Heat vs Melbourne Stars Top Batters
Colin Munro to be the top batter for Brisbane Heat @ 4.72 (Parimatch)
Colin Munro has hit scores of 36 and 44 in the AbuDhabi T10 league and he looks to be in good form ahead of the first match of the season. The left hander scored 278 runs in eight matches in BBL 12. We expect him to come good on the opening night and be the top scorer for Brisbane Heat.
Glenn Maxwell to be the top batter for Melbourne Stars @ 3.73 (Parimatch)
Glenn Maxwell scored the fastest hundred in T20I for Australia against team India in his last outing. He has been in phenomenal touch over the last month and no doubt there is only one batsman that can be picked when he is at his best. We predict Glenn Maxwell to continue his good form and deliver another match winning knock against the Brisbane Heat.
Brisbane Heat vs Melbourne Stars Top Bowlers
Matthew Kuhnemann to be the top bowler for Brisbane Heat @ 4.30 (Parimatch)
The unorthodox left arm spinner took 16 wickets in 18 matches and was the second best bowler for Brisbane Heat. The pitch is expected to be an absolute belter that favours the batsman but most of the Melbourne Stars batters struggle against left arm spinners. We expect Matthew Kuhnemann to come good and be the top bowler.
Nathan Coulter Nile to be the top bowler for Melbourne Stars @ 3.73 (Parimatch)
Coulter Nile is one of the most experienced bowlers in the Big Bash league. He took 16 wickets in 11 matches last season and finished as the leading wicket taker for the Stars. He bowls in the death overs and has a high chance of picking up wickets. We back Coulter Nile to kickstart the season on a good note and be the top bowler for the Stars.
