THE LOWDOWN

ADELAIDE STRIKERS

• Adelaide Strikers are losing momentum at a bad time following consecutive defeats against Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Renegades respectively, both frustrating losses by fine margins from their point of view.
• The Renegades got the better of Adelaide by four wickets as the Strikers’ bowling attack had no answer to the fireworks of Jake Fraser-McGurk, whose innings of 70 from 37 balls helped ice the chase.

MELBOURNE STARS

• It’s back-to-back triumphs for Melbourne Stars coming into this match, who may just have life left in this tournament, having raced up to four points out of nowhere after previously suffering three defeats on the bounce.
• Their latest win came away to the Hurricanes by seven wickets via DLS, the Stars’ international gun Glenn Maxwell smashing an unbeaten 35 in a shortened run chase of 67 from 7 overs, a scenario which obviously played perfectly into the visitors’ hands, who had earlier won a crucial toss.

THE PREDICTION

Adelaide Strikers will be seen as favourites on their own patch to triumph in this one, but Melbourne Stars are running on momentum and a proven ability to win away from home. They shocked the Sixers at the SCG and are coming off the back of knocking off Hobart at the Bellerive Oval. This serves as an excellent opportunity to pounce on a shaken Adelaide following their surprise loss at the hands of the Renegades. Therefore, consider backing Melbourne Stars to record what would be a third straight victory on the road.

BETTING TIP: MELBOURNE STARS TO WIN
