Melbourne Stars vs Sydney Thunder Betting Tips
Melbourne Stars to score under 19.5 runs before 1st dismissal (1.85 @Parimatch)
Melbourne Stars have been terrible with the bat so far this season. Their batters are going away very cheaply in the competition. Thomas Rogers and Sam Harper open for Melbourne Stars in the competition currently and posted the scores of 5 & 2 runs before their 1st dismissal in two games. Rogers and Harper average at 11.50 & 2.50 respectively. Harper went out the earliest in both the games and looked in bad form. In their previous meeting last season, Melbourne Stars scored 4 runs before losing their first wicket. Having said that, MS are very likely to face a quick dismissal in their next game against Sydney Thunder.

Melbourne Stars vs Sydney Thunder Betting Odds
Opting to bowl first after winning the toss, the Scorchers restricted the Stars to a mere 101 runs. The Stars had a shaky start, losing 2 early wickets and struggling to build significant partnerships. Hilton Cartwright top-scored with 24 runs, but it wasn't enough to set a challenging target. In the second innings, the Scorchers had a strong start and managed to chase the target successfully, winning the game by 7 wickets. There were no exceptional bowling performances from the Star’s bowling order.
Sydney Thunder were already low on confidence after a loss in the first game. The team met with a similar fate in the second game. Their batters did well, scoring 200 runs in 20 overs. Cameron Bancroft scored 74 runs for the team whereas Alex Ross chipped in 46 runs. However, Sydney Thunder bowling attack seemed useless against the Strikers in the game. They eventually leaked too many runs and lost the game by 6 wickets. The team will have an upperhand with a better squad in the upcoming fixture and will be thrilled to earn their first set of points.
