Melbourne Stars vs Sydney Thunder prediction

So far, it’s been three games and three successful run chases for Melbourne Stars. Their batting has been excellent and Sam Harper could make a case for being player of the tournament as it stands, after backing up his half-century against Adelaide Strikers, with 110 not out vs Brisbane Heat. All whilst the Stars’ fast bowling arsenal continues to restrict their opponents.

Sydney Thunder’s batting finally proved their worth most recently against Brisbane, racking up 193/4 in a 34-run victory. To do the same in this match is a far tougher prospect when taking into account the bowling stocks contained by their opponents. Melbourne Stars seem to have found an excellent blend of players and with momentum sky high, backing them to maintain their 100% record has to be favoured.
