Sydney Sixers are looking more balanced as a team and they have already defeated the Stars once this season. Sydney Sixers will be the favourites to win this match.
Hayden Kerr: Hayden Kerr has been in great form this season and has performed consistently with both bat and the ball. He bowls the important overs and is capable with the bat in the lower order. Kerr will be an excellent captaincy option.
Beau Webster: Beau Webster hasn’t been in the best of forms lately but he will bat at 3 and will bowl 4 overs as well. He played a couple of excellent knocks and has chipped in with wickets regularly. Webster will be a popular captaincy pick.
Luke Wood: Luke Wood has been the best bowler for the Stars in BBL 12. He has picked wickets with the new ball and then in the death overs. Wood has 13 wickets to his name in 7 matches and he will be an ideal captaincy choice.
Chris Jordan: Chris Jordan will be the death overs specialist for the Sydney Sixers. He has bowled well in the two games that he has played this season. Jordan will be an important bowler for his side and an ideal differential pick.
Hilton Cartwright: Hilton Cartwright is a big hitter and he will bat in the middle order for the Stars. He has an excellent record at the MCG and will be an excellent differential pick, especially when Melbourne bats first.
Nathan Coulter-Nile: Nathan Coulter-Nile is a key bowler for the Stars. He bowls hard lengths and can trouble the batters in the middle overs. He has been in decent form and will be a good differential pick for your fantasy teams.
Campbell Kellaway: Campbell Kellaway’s fantasy potential is too low as he’s batting down the order and is not looking in good form as well. He won’t get many opportunities to leave an impact in this game.
