Info:
- Melbourne Stars have a better batting line up but most of their players are out of form.
- Strikers on the other hand have a very good bowling attack and we think that Stars batsmen will struggle against them.
- Melbourne Stars are over-dependent on Glen Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis. Once they fail, Stars will be in trouble.

STR Key Players:
Alex Carey:
Alex Carey has been the best strikers batsmen. We think if Strikers have to get a decent total, Carey has to play a big knock.
Phil Salt:
Phil Salt backed up his 59 against Renegades with a solid 31 in the last match against the Strikers. He’s looking good and we can expect another good knock from him in the next match.
Daniel Worrall:
Daniel Worrall bowled splendidly well against the Stars in the previous match. In the absence of Rashid Khan he’ll be their lead bowler and will have a big responsibility on his shoulders.
Alex Carey:
Alex Carey has been the best strikers batsmen. We think if Strikers have to get a decent total, Carey has to play a big knock.

STA Key Players:
Marcus Stoinis:
He’s another batsmen that Stars heavily depend upon. Stoinis too has gone quite in the last few games but watching him bat, we think that a big knock is just around the corner.
Glenn Maxwell:
Glen Maxwell has been very good in the tournament. Even though he’s got little inconsistent in the last few games, he’s a match winner on his day and Stars will hope that he can fire tomorrow.
Adam Zampa:
Zampa has bowled really well for the Stars. In the previous match too he picked up 2 wickets. Melbourne is a big ground and we think Zampa will be very effective there.

Striker :
– Rashid Khan will play his last game today and leave for his National duties.

– Captain Alex Carey will bat 1 down. Carey will also keep the Wickets. He scored 42 last game against the Renegades.
– Jono Wells will bat next at 2 down. Wells was among the top 5 scorers last season and will be an important pick in case of top order failure. He scored 66 last 2nd game.

Stars:
– The Stars have been delighted by the arrival of Pakistani Pacer Haris Rauf but Nicolas Pooran has left the squad and returned home Which is a big blow. Also, Zahir Khan has returned as replacement for Pooran.
– Andre Fletcher will open the innings for the stars along with Marcus Stoinis. Stoinis smashed 97 runs last 2nd game amd remained not out , he is still not bowling.
– Nick Larkin or Seb Gotch will bat at 1 down. Larkin had a brilliant last year with 2 50+ scores in 4 games but haven’t got much chance to play this season.
