Preview:
Melbourne has been cool, calm and collected so far this season – largely due to leading runscorer Marcus Stoinis. The Stars chased down the Renegades’ measly 142-run total with ease on Saturday night, reminding everyone just how dangerous last year’s runner-ups are.
The Thunder have plenty to play for sitting fourth on the ladder, but Sydney has largely been one of the more disappointing sides since the New Year began.
Three consecutive losses has seen the Thunder slump to an even 3-3-1 on the season, while the Stars also added to their woes with a comfortable three wicket victory last Thursday.
Melbourne has now won two straight games over the Thunder, but you’ll need to take a Same Game Multi if you wish to back the favourites.
