Melbourne Stars will take on Sydney Thunder in the seventh match of the BBL 2021/22 on 10th December at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne.

Melbourne Stars had a horrible start to their BBL 2021/22 campaign as they were completely outclassed by the defending champions Sydney Sixers in both departments. They were bundled out for just 61 runs while chasing a total of 214 runs which led to a humiliating 152-run defeat.

On the other hand, Sydney Thunder had a contrasting start to their BBL 2021/22 season as they comfortably defeated Brisbane Heat in their opening game. After restricting the Heat to 140 runs, they chased the total with 17 balls to spare and with seven wickets in hand.
