Melbourne Stars are all set to take on the Sydney Thunder in Match 14 of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25. The game will be played at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on Saturday, December 28, with the first ball scheduled to be bowled at 1:45 PM IST.

With both teams desperate to get their campaigns back on track, this match promises to be an absolute thriller.

While Sydney Thunder have been inconsistent, Melbourne Stars are in dire straits, languishing at the bottom of the table with zero wins. It’s crunch time for them, and they’ll need to pull a rabbit out of the hat to register their first points.

As the two teams prepare to take on each other we take a look at the top three choices for the fantasy contests of the match.

3. Marcus Stoinis

The 'Hulk' of Australian cricket, Marcus Stoinis, has shown glimpses of his power-packed game but is yet to deliver the knockout blow this season. He’s been getting starts but hasn’t turned them into match-winning knocks. However, Stoinis is one of those players who can flip the script in an instant. With his ability to clear the ropes and hammer the ball into the stands, Stoinis is a nightmare for bowlers in the middle overs. But don’t forget his bowling where he can be a handy option, whether it’s swinging the new ball or nailing the yorkers at the death. His dual abilities makes him a top choice for fantasy contests.

2. Cameron Bancroft

Cameron Bancroft has been the rock for the Thunder at the top of the order. He’s fresh off an unbeaten 70 in the last game and looks to be in cracking form. Bancroft is the kind of batter who can anchor the innings and go big when the time is right. His cool head and ability to rotate strike while punishing loose balls make him a top choice for your fantasy team. Whether it’s a solid knock or an explosive finish, Bancroft has all the tools to deliver big points.

1. Glenn Maxwell

If there’s one player who can turn a game on its head, it’s Glenn Maxwell. The 'Big Show' hasn’t had a season to remember so far, but he’s always just one innings away from fireworks. Maxwell’s audacious shots and ability to dismantle bowling attacks make him a dream pick for any fantasy contest. Maxwell is also a skillful operator with the ball. He’s more than capable of sneaking in a couple of overs and picking up wickets when you least expect it. As a captain or vice-captain in your fantasy team, Maxwell is a high-risk, high-reward option that could pay off big time.
