MLS Vs SYS Match Prediction: The Big Bash League 2025-26 will be the 15th season of this competition under this name, and the 21st season of professional men’s domestic T20 cricket in Australia. Match 27 of the tournament will be between two teams with very different legacies in this league.
The Melbourne Stars are the only BBL team to have never won the league. Last season, they barely made it to the playoffs before being eliminated in the first knockout match. This year, they have had an excellent start to the competition, winning their first four matches in a row against the Hobart Hurricanes, the Adelaide Strikers, the Sydney Sixers, and the Sydney Thunder. However, they lost their two most recent games against the Brisbane Heat and the Melbourne Renegades. With four wins, two losses, eight points, and a positive net run rate in six games, the Stars are third in the league.
Meanwhile, the Sydney Sixers are one of the most successful BBL teams. The inaugural champions of the competition have won the whole thing on three separate occasions. Last season, they finished second in the league but failed to reach the final. However, they have not had the best start to the season this time around, losing their first two matches to the Perth Scorchers and the Adelaide Strikers, before winning their first game of the season against the Sydney Thunder. Then, the Sydney-based team lost to the Melbourne Stars and defeated the Melbourne Renegades.
Most recently, they defeated the Brisbane Heat. With three wins, three losses, six points, and a positive net run rate in six matches, the Sixers are fourth on the points table.

MLS Vs SYS Match 27 Melbourne Cricket Ground Pitch Report
One of the most iconic cricket grounds in the world, the pitches at the MCG have historically been one for the pacers. The leather bounces well here, which might allow the ball to come onto the bat later in an inning, when the pitch softens. However, for the top order, a hard deck means trouble, especially in front of the well-rounded pace attacks these two teams possess. However, once settled, a batter can score big here if they take their innings deep. As for the boundary dimensions, the straight boundary here is long, about 80m in length, while the side boundary is 72-74m away from the batter.
