THE TEAM NEWS
MELBOURNE STARS
MELBOURNE RENEGADES
THE PREDICTION
Based on form, there is no contest here as the Stars have been one of the standout teams in the tournament so far while the Renegades have been abysmal, losing all five matches. The Renegades will surely put a much-improved performance in here and the fact it is a derby should see them raise their game when everybody is writing them off. The Stars have more talent, the better form, and many more ways to win the game compared to their city rivals. However, it would be no surprise if the Renegades pulled off the shock here. The Stars looked a little fragile in their last run chase, and while they are still firmly expected to win, this is one of those games where logic may go out of the window and the underdogs rise to the occasion.
