Melbourne Stars vs Sydney Thunder Chance of Winning

Melbourne Stars have struggled to make an impact thus far as they remain the only side in the tournament who are yet to register a single point so far. With four defeats in four games, Melbourne Stars are currently eighth on the table. In the last match they were beaten by Sydney Sixers.

Much like their opponents, Sydney Thunder missed the playoffs last season but this year they got off to a winning start against Adelaide Strikers but in the last game they got battered by Sydney Sixers who won the game with five wickets to spare. As per our calculations, Sydney Thunders are favourites in the upcoming game.

Melbourne Stars vs Sydney Thunder Betting Odds

Sydney Thunder to have a better opening partnership than Melbourne Stars

Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Stars go headed into this tournament hoping for a better showing in this campaign. Both teams missed the playoffs last season. Sydney Thunders got off to a great start this term as they beat Adelaide Strikers in the opening game but they lost the last match against Sydney Sixers and are currently sixth on the table. On the other hand, Melbourne Stars have had a dismal start to the campaign as they have lost all four games and are currently eighth on the table. They remain the only side with zero points on the table. What makes this tip so enticing is the fact Melbourne Stars have conceded a bigger opening partnership in each of the last four matches which makes us believe Sydney Thunders would end up with a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

Melbourne Stars vs Sydney Thunder Top Batters

Ben Duckett to be Melbourne Stars’ top batter

Ben Duckett missed the start of the campaign and did not fare well in his debut. In the last match Duckett managed to turn things around and score a brilliant half century which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Cameron Bancroft to be Sydney Thunder’ top batter

Cameron Bancroft did not have a great start to the campaign as he scored six in the opening game but in the last match against Sydney Sixers, Bancroft scored 70 off 52 balls which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Melbourne Stars vs Sydney Thunder Top Bowlers

Peter Siddle to be Melbourne Stars’ top bowler

Even though Peter Siddle did not bag a wicket in the last match he was once again brilliant with the ball. With three wickets, Siddle is one of the top wicket takers for his side which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Lockie Ferguson to be Sydney Thunder’ top bowler

Lockie Ferguson was brilliant in the last game against Sydney Thunders as he bagged two wickets and had the best bowling figures. With five wickets, Ferguson is the leading wicket taker for his side which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Even though both sides have identical records in head to head games, on paper Sydney Thunders look far more settled than Melbourne Stars who have lost all four games thus far. The bookmakers have sided with Sydney Thunders and we believe you should do the same as they would bag maximum points in the upcoming game.
