Sydney Thunder’s Daniel Sams could be the best batter in the upcoming game against Melbourne Stars. Sams has been in good form, and with a quickfire knock of 42* runs in 18 deliveries, Sams could be a star performer for Thunder in the upcoming game.

Melbourne Stars are set to face off against Sydney Thunder in game 14 of the Big Bash League (BBL) season 2024-25. The Stars have endured a disastrous start to their campaign, losing all four of their matches and sitting at the bottom of the BBL points table.

Melbourne Stars remain winless after their first five matches of BBL14 with a loss to Sydney Thunder on Saturday night all but putting a line through their finals hopes.

Melbourne Stars have won the toss and opted to field first against Sydney Thunder at the Manuka Oval in Canberra.

The only negative for the men in lime green was a suspected repeat of a bicep tear for legspinner Jason Sangha, hurt after high-fiving teammates after taking Maxwell’s wicket. The result moves the Thunder back into the top four with a 2-1 record, while the Stars are 0-5 despite having one of the best rosters in the BBL.

The Stars head to Canberra still chasing their first win for BBL14, but are bolstered by the return of Beau Webster for the clash with the Thunder. Watch every game of the BBL live and ad-break free during play on Kayo.
