THE LOWDOWN
MELBOURNE STARS
- The season is still very much in its infancy but it’s already looking like being another one to forget for Melbourne Stars, unless they get a win on the board soon after losing their opening two games.
- Most worrying of all was the fact that both defeats against Brisbane Heat and Perth Scorchers respectively, were absolutely thrashing where they were completely below-par with both bat and ball.
SYDNEY THUNDER
- Sydney Thunder have struggled much like the Stars so far, also losing their first two matches although neither were via a significant margin and suggests that results could turn around for them soon enough.
- Against Adelaide Strikers, the Thunder put up a really good showing, scoring 200 runs batting first but a poor showing during the first ten overs of Adelaide’s reply left them chasing the game and were unable to pull things back, losing with two balls to spare.
THE PREDICTION
Despite neither of these two teams having put a point on the board just yet, Sydney Thunder have looked significantly more likely to do so compared to the Stars. Their batters are playing better cricket, scoring more runs and the Thunder bowlers could tie Melbourne Stars up in knots if they perform as poorly as they did against Perth. Therefore, back Sydney Thunder to be the side who ends their winless record.
BETTING TIP: SYDNEY THUNDER TO WIN
