THU vs STA Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11 and Pitch Report for BBL 2021-22, Match 10

The tenth match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2021-22 has Sydney Thunder (THU) taking on the Melbourne Stars (STA) at the Sydney Showground Stadium in Sydney on Sunday.

The Melbourne Stars got the better of the Thunder at the MCG, courtesy of a good all-round performance. They will be keen to sustain their good form against the very same opponents, albeit away from home. Led by Glenn Maxwell, the Stars will head into the game as the clear favorites. However, they come across a resourceful Thunder side who should be a handful for the Stars in what promises to be a cracking game on Sunday.

Pitch Report

As seen in previous seasons, a competitive track beckons at the Spotless Stadium with help on offer for the bowlers. There should be ample swing available with the new ball, keeping the pacers interested. The dimensions of the ground will play a part, bringing the spinners into play as well. Wickets in hand will be key at the venue, with both teams likely to prefer chasing upon winning the toss.

Today’s THU vs STA Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Joe Clarke: Joe Clarke, who is regarded by many as one to watch out for in English cricket, hasn't been able to score many runs in his first BBL encounters. However, he has a range of shots to excel in the format and should get the nod over Billings and Gilkes, both of whom are decent options in your THU vs STA Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Alex Hales: Like Joe Clarke, Alex Hales is also due for a big knock in the BBL this season. He has ample experience playing in Australian conditions and is one of the premier batters in this format, making him a must-have in your THU vs STA Dream11 fantasy team.

All-rounder

Daniel Sams: Daniel Sams has done well with the ball this season, picking up a few wickets in the death overs. The left-armer is a handy batter too, often being promoted over Ross and Cutting for quick runs. Given his form and experience, Sams is one to watch out for in this game.

Bowler

Adam Zampa: Adam Zampa was at his best in the previous THU vs STA outing as he held his nerve in a final-over thriller. The leggie is known for his wicket-taking ability and given his recent exploits in this format, Zampa should pick up a few wickets in this game.
