THU vs STA Dream11 Prediction 2025: This is going to be the Knockout Big Bash match, and it will start at 2:00 PM at the Sydney stadium.
Team Preview of Sydney Thunder vs Melbourne Stars Big Bash Knockout Match Dream11 Prediction 2025
It will be a knockout match between Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Stars, and whoever wins this match will go to Qualifiers 2 to play for the BBL 2024/25 season finals.
Sydney Thunder will be without Sam Konstas, who did not look great in the three matches played this season of the BBL. The PR team made him present as a big, amazing player, but he looked just like any Pakistani slogger player recruited from the tape-ball arena.
The Melbourne Stars will be without Beau Webster, who is not the player the Stars team needed very much as he is a classic test match batting-allrounder who has great technique, but still, the Stars will be fine without him, so both teams will not have much of an issue in the knockout.
