Just a week ago, it appeared Melbourne Stars were going to cruise into the Big Bash League playoffs, thanks to their brilliant point overhaul. However, a recent snap has seen them lose their footing to drop out of the top-five zone. Team Green have lost their previous two games on the bounce the latest of which was a 11-run defeat to high-flyers Perth Scorchers. With a host of teams vying the same spot as Maxwells charges, they will be desperate for a win in this fixture.
Lying just below the Strikers on the standings, the Thunder are still in real danger of missing out on the top-five. This final game is very crucial to Fergusons men, as failure to topple the opposition could see this side end their campaign in the group phases. Enduring a recent patchy form, Sydney Thunder have emerged victorious in only one of their previous five games. Last time out, they suffered defeat to this same Strikers outfit. Now, they will be seeking revenge to leapfrog this foe on the standings. More cricket predictions free can be obtained from the link provided.
