All-rounder Andre Russell showed why he is one of the most sought after names in T20 cricket with his big hitting to take the Stars to victory against the Thunder on Monday in BBL 2021. Russell may be a little stiff after his efforts but he will not be rested as he has a short-term contract and is only available for five games. We expect to see the same Stars XI.
Two successive wins over Sydney Thunder has put Melbourne Stars back on the map. After a poor season last year they could be about to challenge again.

A couple of bowlers lost their way and not enough batters made significant scores in the defeat for Sydney Sixers against Hobart Hurricanes. Josh Philippe and Moises Henriques maintained their strong batting form but the bowling attack needs to be able to combine tight bowling and wickets in this match. There are no injuries in the squad.
The defeat at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday was Sydney Sixers’ first of the season. We will now see if the wheels will come off or if they can immediately bounce back.

Some of the biggest name batters in white ball cricket will be on show in this game with plenty of boundaries expected by the spectators.
Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell and Andre Russell are our batting tips for Melbourne Stars. Russell showed everyone what he is capable of with a fantastic unbeaten knock in their last game.
For Sydney Sixers, Josh Philippe, James Vince and Moises Henriques are our tips with the bat. Henriques is the leading run scorer in the tournament so far.
For Melbourne Stars, Adam Zampa, Qais Ahmad and Brody Couch are our bowling tips. Couch has been the leading bowler so far but we expect the spinners to thrive in this match.
Sean Abott, Tom Curran and Steve O’Keefe are our bowling recommendations for Sydney Sixers. O’Keefe took 4 wickets in the opening game against the Stars and will be keen to repeat it in this match.
Melbourne Stars are a far stronger side than when they were beaten by a record score by Sydney Sixers. It has been excellent team performances combined with power hitting from Andre Russell which has improved the team. However, we feel there are more runs in the Sixers’ team and we are backing them to get the victory.
