Melbourne Stars Vs Adelaide Strikers Prediction 15/1/21
This is a huge match for both teams, and for the winners it will have a huge impact on their BBL season.
A win for the Stars gets them back in the mix for the Top 4. While if they lose, they are realistically playing for 4th place at best.
A win for the Strikers, and they go second in the table. Defeat, and they are involved in a five horse race for two places.
These are two pretty inconsistent teams in this season’s Big Bash. The Stars have been poor of late, while the Strikers are up and down.
The Strikers poor run of form seems to coincide with Glenn Maxwell’s runs drying up. The big hitting batsman has had a poor few games after a good start to the season.
For the Strikers, they are without the influential Rashid Khan, who departed to play for Afghanistan earlier this week.
This game really could be the season for the Stars, lose it and it’s a long way back.
With their season depending on winning this, and the lose of Rashid Khan for the Strikers, I’m expecting a big performance from the Stars, and I’m backing them to win this one.
