Preview:
Still without a win, the defending champions have not surprisingly opened as the outsiders in the market after losing by six wickets to the Scorchers on Tuesday night.
The Stars still sit atop the ladder at time of publish and will find plenty of confidence knowing they’ve won four of their last five matches against the ‘Gades.
With Aaron Finch struggling at the crease and the bowling attack diminished, it’s almost impossible to back a Renegades upset here. That being said, the current quote for the Stars is a little on the short side, meaning you’ll have to search elsewhere for value.
Marcus Stoinis was outstanding last Saturday night at the MCG finishing 68 not out. Glenn Maxwell also chipped in nicely with 40 runs off 32 balls, making both players worth backing to score Over their respective run totals.
