The Melbourne Stars are the $4 favourites with Sportingbet to take out the tournament.
“The Stars have a top class squad and after going undefeated in the group stage last year will no doubt be keen to make up for that loss to the Hurricanes in the semi-finals,” Sportingbet’s Andrew Brown said.
The Stars kick off their tournament tonight as $1.53 favourites at Sportingbet to beat the Adelaide Strikers ($2.50).
