THE LOWDOWN
MELBOURNE STARS
- Melbourne Stars made it three in a row on New Year’s Eve with arguably their most impressive triumph yet, chasing down a massive 206 against Adelaide Strikers with a full over remaining.
- Six points accrued from the last six on offer leaves the Stars now right in the mix with their Australian white ball stars available and the mid-tournament signing of English batter Dan Lawrence already looking like a shrewd bit of business.
MELBOURNE RENEGADES
- At the sixth time of asking, Melbourne Renegades have finally bagged their first victory of the competition and boy did they need it, keeping alive their play-off prospects which were starting to look very slim.
- Like the Stars, it was a successful run chase vs Adelaide Strikers that won the day for the Renegades most recently, Jake Fraser-McGurk’s 70 from 37 balls leading his side to a four-wicket triumph.
THE PREDICTION
Both these sides come into this match buoyed on the back of victories over Adelaide Strikers and the pressure is on in the play-off race. But Melbourne Stars have certainly been the more consistent team recently. Three straight wins is testament to that and they have found a formula that is working extremely well for them. In contrast, it’s too early to say whether the Renegades have turned a corner, so back the Stars at the MCG to get the better of their Melbourne rivals.
