One of only two teams yet to taste Big Bash League success, it appears Melbourne Stars woes will linger on, even after this season. They are struggling to get into their groove, and cannot find any form of consistency about their game. On a two-game losing run, Maxwells men will be eager to put an end to this embarrassing streak in their upcoming contest. Last time out, they were given a hiding by this same Strikers team, but will now be seeking revenge here.
Rooted to the bottom of the standings, Melbourne Renegades have picked up a measly nine points in as many games. With a whopping ten points separating them from the top-five mix, it will take a miracle-of-sorts for Renegades to clinch qualification. With his teammates floundering, Aaron Finch has taken it upon himself to carry the entire team on his shoulders. Assisted by both Sam Harper and Jake Fraser-McGurk, the Renegades have looked pretty decent in recent weeks. More free cricket predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
