What are the Top Picks, players for Dream11, My11circle and MPL for STA vs SCO, Big Bash League 2023/24, Match 7?
Top Pick – Batter
Hilton Cartwright looked positive despite wickets tumbling at the other end against Brisbane Heat, scoring 33 runs at a strike rate of 206.25. He is the Melbourne Star’s batting mainstay in the middle order.
Top Pick – All-Rounder
Aaron Hardie was one of the breakout stars of BBL 2022/23 and has made it to the Australian side in both T20Is and ODIs. He remained unbeaten on 20* runs in the abandoned game against Melbourne Renegades.
Top Pick – Bowler
Haris Rauf is back in the Melbourne Stars setup after missing the first game. He clocks 140 kmph consistently and even deceives the batters with his change-ups.
Top Pick – Wicketkeeper
Josh Inglis has a safe pair of hands behind the stumps and is one of the accomplished batters in the Perth Scorchers line-up. He recently scored a T20I century against India.
We tried to get a game of cricket underway, but it wasn’t to be 😥It’s just a little bit longer to get our campaign underway against the Stars 🙏#MADETOUGH #BBL13 pic.twitter.com/tRHlDY0xkJ

Pre-Match Analysis:

Sending Brisbane Heat to bat first backfired them as they ended up conceding a mammoth 214 runs at the end of 20 overs in response faltered for a paltry 111 runs where Hilton Cartwright top scoring for the side with a 16-ball 33. They have been further dealt with injuries as Glenn Maxwell and Nathan Coulter Nile will miss this clash. Haris Rauf has finally been given the NOC by PCB to take part in the BBL and his arrival will bolster the pace attack. Marcus Stoinis will lead the side in Glenn Maxwell’s absence. Beau Webster is available for selection after serving his commitments for the Prime Minister’s XI against Pakistan.
Perth Scorchers shared points in their first encounter with Melbourne Renegades as the match was abandoned due to dangerous pitch conditions at GMHBA Stadium, Geelong with only 6.5 overs constituting in the game where the visitors Perth Scorchers managed 30 runs for the loss of 2 wickets. They are going with an unchanged squad for this match from their away trip to Geelong.
