Melbourne Stars will Win
Sydney SixersMelbourne StarsKurtis Patterson and Josh Philippe gave a stable start to the team in the last game against Hobart Hurricanes. Both players dominated the bowlers from the beginning and gave good momentum to the team. However, the biggest worry for the Sixers is their middle order which has failed in every game.
Moises Henriques, Jordan Silk, and Dan Christian were sent back to the pavilion without a score. The bowlers played a crucial part in the last game and gave the opposition a tough time.
In the last game of the Melbourne Stars, the bowlers lost the rhythm at the beginning of the game, and Perth Scorchers got the full benefit of it.
It was a high-scoring game but Melbourne Stars batters failed to complete the chase. Their major concern is the opening lineup which has failed every time they needed them to perform. In the upcoming game, the bowlers will have to be uptight to produce a tough competition against the opposition.
Considering the previous performances of both teams, it will be a close game but the Melbourne Stars will come out as the winners. It is because the Sydney Sixers are not doing a great job with their batting lineup.
