BBL 2020-21: Melbourne Stars vs Brisbane Heat fantasy 11 predictions: Top Dream11 picks for MLS vs BRH

Last year’s runner-ups Melbourne Stars will take on Chris Lynn-led Brisbane Heat in match 2 of Big Bash League 2020-21. The Manuka Oval in Canberra will host this game on December 11, 2020 (Friday) from 1:45 PM (IST) onwards. 

Glenn Maxwell-led Melbourne Stars is one of the most star-studded line-ups of this year’s BBL. Apart from Maxwell, ace players from the Australian national side like Marcus Stoinis, Adam Zampa and Nathan Coulter-Nile are also present in their side. They also have a T20 specialist in the form of Ben Dunk, who is a flamboyant batsman at the top-order.

Brisbane Heat too has experienced 20-over cricketers in the form of skipper Chris Lynn alongside Ben Laughlin and Tom Cooper. However, the Heat will miss the services of their key player Mujeeb Ur Rahman who has been tested positive for COVID-19. Also, Brisbane looks a slightly weaker side on paper when compared to their opponents ahead of this clash. 

Let’s look at our fantasy 11 predictions for this clash and here are top picks for MLS vs BRH.
