After winning the toss, the Melbourne Stars preferred to bat first, and the decision backfired when the top-order batsmen fell short in the quick session. Maddinson’s brilliant tactics restricted the Stars to establish the partnership between the wickets. Topley and Prestwidge followed Maddinson’s pattern and each grabbed one wicket. So far, Travis Dean 32 off 26, Justin Avendano 6 off 9, and Charlie Wakim 12 off 11 were the victims of Maddinson. Glenn Maxwell with just 7 off 9, also couldn’t find the room to carry the momentum to long period, who fell short for Topley.
Melbourne Stars Innings 99-6 (16 Overs)
