Adelaide Strikers Team News & Playing 11
The likes of Alex Carey, Travis Head and Colin Ingram make up a formidable top-order for the Strikers. Ingram is in good form with scores of 66 and 48 in his last two innings while Carey too got back amongst the runs with a 28-ball 34 in the last game against Sydney Thunder. Ben Laughlin and Rashid Khan have been outstanding with the ball having taken 10 wickets each in five matches. The latter has an economy rate of just 5.10 and the Stars could find it a little uncomfortable against this leg-spinner.

Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Stars Prediction
Melbourne Stars have individuals in their side who could win them matches even from unfavorable situations but the thing is that all of them have underperformed this BBL. Adelaide Strikers on the other hand have had a good season with both bat and ball. The Strikers have an upper hand in that they have beaten the Stars twice in their last three head-to-head matches as well as twice in the three matches played at the Adelaide Oval. The Strikers also have the home advantage in their favor and so we predict them to deny the Stars a win here.
Final Verdict: Back Adelaide Strikers to beat Melbourne Stars at 1.81 on betfair, 1.74 on Unibet, 1.65 on Ladbrokes and 1.80 each on bet365 and Betway.
