Pre-Match Analysis:
Melbourne Stars who were struggling earlier in the competition with 3 consecutive losses are now back in the hunt registering 3 straight wins on the trot to leapfrog in the standings to 4th spot with 6 points. In their recent away clash against Adelaide Strikers, they chased down a mammoth 205 runs with 6 balls to spare where Dan Lawrence, Beau Webster, and Marcus Stoinis scoring decisive half-centuries in the winning cause. Imad Wasim is proving to be a lucky hand for them as the Stars haven’t lost a game since his signing in this tournament. The performances of Beau Webster should be hailed as the all-rounder made 164 runs and picked up 4 wickets.
After enduring four losses from their first five matches, Melbourne Renegades finally recorded their first win, beating Adelaide Strikers by 4 wickets. Dashing young batter Jake Fraser McGurk and experienced Shaun Marsh’s well-measured half-centuries guided them to a superb win with 8 balls to spare. Earlier it was Mujeeb ur Rahman who stole the show with the figures of 3 for 20 that kept Strikers for 177 on the board. Having arrived at the tournament with a huge lot of expectations, Quinton de Kock is yet to make an impact as he managed only 61 from 4 innings. They have been dealt with two huge blows as Joe Clarke has been ruled out of this match with a quad injury and Mujeeb ur Rahman can’t take part following a change in his NOC conditions. The good news is that Kane Richardson has trained with the squad after missing the contest against Strikers due to injury. Skipper Nic Maddinson and overseas batter Jordan Cox are back in the squad as well. With one win, four losses, and no result, they sit 7th in the standings with 3 points.
