The Adelaide Strikers will be the clear favourites to win this game but they need to be on their toes in this game. The Melbourne Stars need their big guns to fire in this game.
Matt Short: Matt Short will be the best captaincy pick for this game. He is in the form of his life in BBL 12. Short is scoring runs for fun and is also picking up wickets for his team. Short scored 38 runs and picked up 2 wickets in the last game.
Hilton Cartwright: Hilton Cartwright will bat at number 3 for the Melbourne Stars. He is a talented batter and has been a consistent performer for the Stars. He scored 57 runs in the last game. Cartwright will be a good captaincy option.
Chris Lynn: Chris Lynn is in exceptional touch with the bat. He is the highest run-scorer of BBL 12 with 393 runs at an average of 49.12. Lynn has scored 3 fifties in the last three games. He will be an ideal captaincy choice.
Cameron Boyce: Cameron Boyce will be a top differential pick in fantasy cricket. He is a wicket-taker and will be the lead spinner for the Adelaide Strikers. Boyce can pick a few wickets in this game.
Peter Siddle: Peter Siddle will return to the eleven in this game and he will be an excellent differential pick. Siddle will bowl in the crucial phases and he can pick up a few wickets against the struggling middle order of the Melbourne Stars.
Campbell Kellaway: Campbell Kellaway will bat very low and he won’t bowl as well. His fantasy value is too low to make an impact and he will be our player to avoid for this game.
