Dream11 fantasy cricket tips and guide for Match 19 of the Australian T20 League Bash (BBL 2024-25), to be played between HEA vs STA in Brisbane.
The second game of January 1 in the Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25 will see a rematch of match No. 4 of the tournament. The defending champions Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Stars will collide in this clash.
This will be the 19th clash of match season, which will be played at the Gabba in Brisbane. The Heat won the last encounter against the Stars at the MCG earlier in the season.
Can the Stars beat the Heat in their own background? Melbourne are in desperate need of a win as they have lost all five matches, and if they lose this game, they will virtually be out of the race to the knockouts.
