Melbourne Stars vs Sydney Thunder Preview
The Stars will be playing their second match of the season when they take on Sydney Thunder at Manuka Oval.
The Stars were clearly the better of the two sides last season and that’s about all we have to go off at the moment so I’m happy to tip them in here.
I don’t know if the squad changes either side made will have a big enough impact to change these two sides drastically.
Stars to win.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Melbourne Stars to win at $1.63 odds.
