Melbourne Stars vs Sydney Thunder Prediction & Tips 2025

Glenn Maxwell was sensational last season but hasn’t played much cricket in the last 12 months. In the last innings he scored two off four balls which makes us believe he will score low in the upcoming game.

Sam Konstas struggled to make an impact last season and once again this season he has struggled for consistency. Even though he did well in the last game, we expect him to struggle and score low in the upcoming game.
