What are the fantasy suggested teams for STA vs SIX, BBL 2022/23, Match 31?

Pre-Match Analysis:
Yet another miserable batting show cost Melbourne Stars as they lost to Melbourne Renegades in the Derby clash by 33 runs. Nick Larkin’s late flourish helped them to surpass the 100 run-mark. Initially, the bowlers were spot-on with their line and lengths and restricted the opposition to a marginal score of 141. At the halfway mark, they managed to win only 2 matches so far and they must pull up their socks if they want to remain in contention. The batters must take additional responsibilities in the 2nd leg of the tournament.
Sydney Sixers’ previous game was called in the mid-way due to bad weather. They maintain the 3rd spot in the standings with 9 points. Steve O’Keefe who shined with the ball against Brisbane Heat will sit out in this match considering the workload management. Hayden Kerr is the most valuable player for them so far with 11 wickets and 115 runs. Moises Henriques and Josh Philippe are the only two players for them with 50-plus scores in this tournament. There is still plenty of room for improvement in the batting department.
