SYT vs MLS Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2020-21
A high flying Sydney Thunders will take on Melbourne Stars in the 19th match of the BBL 2020. The match will be played on the Manuka Oval and is scheduled to get underway at 7:15 PM local time.
Sydney Thunder put up a stellar show against Melbourne Renegades in their last game to pocket a massive 129 run victory. They now have three wins in three games and are looking at the top of their form. They’re up against Melbourne Stars who’re placed 5th but a win in the next game will get them to the helm of the points table.
Usman Khawaja, Alex Hales, Cullum Ferguson, Daniel Sams, Olivier Daviies, their is so much quality in this thunder batting line up and they certainly are living up to the expectations. The all rounders like Ben Cutting, Chris Green, Daniel Sams provide a lot of depth in this team.
The bowling is also performing exceptially well with Adam Milne, Daniel Sams, Tanvir Sangha in terrefic form. Nathan NcAndrew and Chris Green balances this attck. Overall, they look a very strong team but getting past Melbourne Stars won’t be easy.
Melbourne Stars lost a nail biter to Sydney Sixers which has pushed them out of the top 4 in the points table. However, the gap is almost negligible and a win will once against get them at the top of the table.
Nicolas Pooran and Glenn Maxwell were scintillating in the last match and Stars would hope that they can carry on their form against the Thunders. Andre Fletcher, Ben Dunk, Nick Larkin and Hilton Cartwright make them a batting heavy team. Also, Billy Stanlake, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Liam Hatcher, Adam Zampa, Zahir Khan forms one of the best bowling line up in the tournament.
Overall, both teams are pretty similar in terms of quality but we see Melbourne Stars as a slightly more balanced team than Sydney Thunders. No doubt the match could go either way Melbourne Stars are slight favourites for us.

Sydney Thunder Team News & Playing 11
SYT Team News
Sam Billings and Jason Sangha have been added to the 19 member squad for Thunder’s clash against Melbourne Stars. Thunders are flying high after three consecutive wins thus we doubt they’d like to make any change in this all important clash.
SYT Key Players
- Alex Hales - The destructive English opener was very impressive in the last match and scored a brisk 35 of 21 delivering. We expect him to come good in the next match.
- Usman Khawaja - Usman Khawaja is another batsmen that Sydney Thunder heavily relies. Khawaja stroked a breezy 34 of 18 and looked in really good touch. He too is expected to continue his good run in the tournament.
- Adam Milne - Adam Milne has been very impressive for Thunders. Milne is proving difficult for the batsmen to tackle with his extra pace thus he’s another player to keep a keen eye on.
SYT Team Form
Sydney Thunders are have been in scintillating form in the tournament. They stated their tournament with a loss to Melbourne Stars but have been very impressive since then, winning back to back against Brisbane Heat, Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Renegades.

MLS Team Form
Marcus Stoinis and Nic Maddinson missed Stars previous match but will rejoin the squad ahead of their clash with Sydney Thunders. Stoinis was granted leave to spend time with his family while failed to reach Queensland due to travel restriction.
MLS Key Players
- Glen Maxwell - Glen Maxwell was at his destructive best against Sydney Sixers, smashing a brutal 71 off 47 deliveries. Stars will be hopeful of him carrying his form in BBL 2020 against Sydney Thunder too.
- Nicolas Pooran - Nicolas Pooran too thrashed the Sixers bowlers all round the park in a 26 ball 65. The kind of form he’s in, we expect him to be the danger man for Sydney Thunder.
- Nathan Coulter-Nile - Nathan Coulter Nile was absolutely brilliant in his last match. He’s been in top form throughout the tournament and will lead the Stars charge with the ball.
MLS Team Form
Melbourne Stars have been slightly unlucky in the tournament. They could have eaily won all of their four matches but a washout against Pert Scorchers and a close loss to Sixers have pegged them back to 5th in the points table.
