Best Bet

Scorchers @ $1.72

The Scorchers have been an excellent bet this season, and after posting four wins from their last five matches, they should have the measure of the Stars.

Thursday night’s performance over the Renegades was exceptional, with Finn Allen scoring a brilliant century. If Allen doesn’t score a big total, the likes of Mitch Marsh and Cooper Connelly are there, so it’s a deep roster.

The Scorchers are the most successful BBL team in history, and although the Stars have quality T20 players in Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, and Sam Harper, they haven’t been as impressive as the Scorchers to start 2026.

Same Game Multi

Scorchers H2H, Finn Allen Over 19.5 Runs, Mitch Marsh Over 23.5 Runs, Glenn Maxwell Under 20.5 Runs @ $9.00

Bet Now

Having scored 100 runs on Thursday, the line is low for Allen. He’s one of the more explosive batters in the Big Bash League, and we fancy his chances of scoring over 19.5 runs against the Stars’ bowling attack.

We also fancy Marsh to have over 23.5 runs. He has been consistent all season, and he’s able to soak up the early pressure before playing bigger shots later in the inning. Punters should expect another top batting effort for their experienced captain.

Maxwell could struggle to get going, which is a trend for his BBL campaign. He hasn’t fully fired, and 20.5 runs is a decent total from bookmakers, so take the under in BBL same game multi bets.

Best Value Bet

Finn Allen Top Scorchers Run Scorer @ $5.20

Bet Now

Allen is good enough to make back-to-back centuries, and he could have another big total in store for the Scorchers.

He only lost his wicket on Thursday when trying to step up the run rate in the dying overs. Otherwise, he could have stayed there all night.

He’s not giving away his wicket easily, and he could score around 60-70 runs.
