SYDNEY THUNDER
THE PREDICTION
Melbourne Stars will be hoping that they can overcome some off-field controversy to maintain their winning run. The spotlight will be on Marcus Stoinis after he avoided a ban for a homophobic slur during his side’s last game with that decision raising some questions in itself. His side have been brilliant so far and have lost just one of their opening six matches and they are likely to improve their record in this game.
