Much like last season, Melbourne Stars had a dismal start to the campaign as they lost each of the first five matches but have managed to turn things around and have won back to back games and are currently eighth on the table. Melbourne Stars need a perfect run in the remaining matches if they aspire to make the playoffs this season.

Sydney Sixers have once again been dominant in the group stages as they started their campaign with four wins in four games. Sydney Sixers are winless in the last two games but with nine points thus far they are currently at the top of the table. As per our calculations, Sydney Sixers are favourites in the upcoming game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Sydney Sixers

Melbourne Stars head into this game after back to back wins but haven’t fared well against Sydney Sixers in the past. Sydney Sixers have already beaten them this season which is probably why the bookmakers have favoured them and we believe you should do the same as Sydney Sixers would bag maximum points in the upcoming game.
