MLS vs SYT T20 Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2020
Melbourne Stars will take on Sydney Thunder in the 3rd match of the Big Bash League. The match will be played on the Manuka Oval, Canberra and is all set to take place at 4:05 PM Local time
What a start it has been for Melbourne Stars as they thrashed Brisbane Heat by 6 wickets. On back of some splendid bowling by Nathan Coulter-Nile and Dilbar Hussain, Stars restricted Heat to a below par 125 before chasing the target with ease.
Glen Maxwell and Hilton Cartwright were the two top performers with the bat with scores of 46 each. They look a pretty balanced side and we expect them to perform even better against Thunders.
The Callum Ferguson-led side aren't pushovers by any means. They look a pretty decent all round team with a perfect blend of youth and experience. Players like Ben Cutting add tremendous depth to their batting.
Alex Hales, Usman Khawaja, Cullum Ferguson form a strong top order while Matt Giles and Alex Ross add strength to their batting. Adam Milne, Daniel Sams, Jono Cook and Brendan Doggett form a versatile bowling line up.
Though we fancy Melbourne Stars, the top heavy Sydney Thunders cannot be counted out.
