Melbourne Stars vs Adelaide Strikers prediction
When taking into account their positive net-run-rate, a win here for Melbourne Stars would all but ensure their place in the play-offs after what has been a promising league stage campaign. Whilst the Stars recently wobbled, they did not break and an eight-wicket win over Melbourne Renegades last time out snapped a three-game losing streak and saw them reach the ten-point-mark.
Adelaide Strikers have been mediocre across the league stage and a loss at the MCG would end their chances of a play-off place. They’ve won just three of a possible eight matches and their bowling has been getting crushed recently. That doesn’t bode well for them against a resurgent Stars and backing the hosts has to be favoured.
