HEA VS STA Match 20, Dream11 Team Prediction for Big Bash League 2025-26 Preview: Match no. 20 of the Big Bash League 2025-26 will see a faceoff between the two-time champion and Melbourne Stars. This contest will be played at The Gabba in Brisbane on Friday at 1:45 PM IST. It has been a dream start for Marcus Stoinis and his team. They are sitting at the top of the points table with their unbeaten streak this season. The Stars have won four out of four games and are in search of making it five in a row.
Another win will take them one inch closer to a place in the next round. On the other hand, Brisbane Heat have a rusty first half of the league stage. They have played five games and have managed only two wins. They are coming off a defeat in their previous game. The Heat have had a horrible batting performance against Adelaide Strikers, and they were bowled out for just 121 runs. They need a comeback because there are only five more games to play for them, and they have slipped to sixth place.

Form-wise, Melbourne Stars are way ahead of Brisbane Heat. They have their top order firing all guns blazing. Sam Herper has scored a century. Joe Clarke scored a match-winning fifty in the last game. Glenn Maxwell was promoted up, and he scored runs. Marcus Stoinis and other batters are also scoring runs.

With the ball, Haris Rauf, Peter Siddle, and Tom Curran are doing well. They have bowlers and batters dominating the scoring and wicket-taking charts. But for Brisbane Heat, they have only a few individuals who are currently in form, but they are not consistent as well. That is why we believe Melbourne Stars are better suited to win this game.
