THE TEAM NEWS
MELBOURNE STARS
SYDNEY THUNDER
THE PREDICTION
With home advantage in their favour, the Melbourne Stars must surely put in a vastly improved display here with both bat and ball, although their bowlers won’t have it easy on what should be a fantastic batting surface at the MCG. Sydney Thunder meanwhile, boast a bowling attack full of confidence and a batting order that proved their credentials against the Heat particularly within their middle order, who showed that even if the dangerous Hales is dismissed early on, they still have the firepower to accrue plenty of runs. However, this contest could well come down to the availability of Stoinis. Should he fail to recover in time from injury, then a Sydney Thunder victory has to be favoured here. However, if the Australian international star does take his place in the starting line-up, then backing Melbourne Stars to bounce back with a much-needed win may prove the shrewd play.
