Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for Match 34 of the Big Bash League 2025-26 between STA vs STR to be played in Melbourne.

It’s been 15 seasons, and Melbourne Stars are yet to win Big Bash League (BBL) title. They are the only team to stay winless in this tournament. However, this season might end their trophy drought as they are among the front-runners for a place in the next round.

The last win over Melbourne Renegades ended a three-match losing streak for Marcus Stoinis and his men. They will be up against Adelaide Strikers in the next game, which will be played at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Tuesday.

Adelaide Strikers have only six points in 8 matches and two more games left to play. If they win both games, only then will they have hope. But if they lose on Tuesday, they will be out, and the Stars will be through to the next round.
