Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Stars Preview
A replay of last season’s decider and a possible preview of this season’s decider will be contested between the Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Stars on the Gold Coast on Saturday night.
The Sixers were pretty rusty in their campaign opener against the Hurricanes, but they are another side that simply hasn’t looked back, and they have won each of their two subsequent matches.
Their form has also been franked by the Hurricanes losing just one of four matches and topping the table at Christmas.
The Stars’ roster is once again full of talent, and they are already well on their way towards another finals berth.
I personally cannot split these two sides currently, and for that reason alone, I am happy to take the value around the Sixers as outsiders.
