BBL 2016/17: Top five moments from Matchday 28

#4 Tale of two halves

Luke Wright got the Stars off to a flier

On numerous occasions, teams have crumbled after dominating the first ten overs. Melbourne Stars were all over the Sydney Sixers when the likes of Luke Wright and Robert Quiney were going hell for leather.

Stars had an astonishing start after they piled on 59 runs in the initial six overs, with Wright looking ominous. The end of the 11^th over, saw the Stars sitting pretty at 97 with Wright and Kevin Pietersen flexing their muscles.

However, the Sixers held their nerve and clawed their way back, picking up seven wickets at the cost of 59 runs. After Pietersen, no batsman could reach double figures as the likes of Ben Dwarshuis and Nathan Lyon picked up wickets at regular intervals.

Stars, as a result, were restricted to a below-par 156 runs for the loss of eight wickets. After Wright’s dismissal, the Stars lost six wickets for 26 runs, which was pretty shambolic, to say the least.
