Best Bet

Stars @ $2.10

Bet Now

We expect the Stars to get their season underway with a big performance on Thursday night. They have the firepower to handle the Hurricanes, who played well earlier in the week, but there is every chance of the Stars winning.

They have two of the most exciting BBL players in the world with Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell, so a big scoring total could be on the cards. Having those players in the team makes Melbourne tough to beat, and they also have Peter Siddle in the bowling attack.

Take the underdog value with the Stars, who typically play their best T20 cricket early in the season.

Same Game Multi

Stars H2H, Glenn Maxwell 20+ Runs, Marcus Stoinis 20+ Runs, Matthew Wade to Hit a Six @ $8.50

Bet Now

Maxwell and Stoinis are good chances of scoring 20+ runs. Maxwell has some impressive recent scores, and when he’s in form, he is tough to stop. He’s the favourite to score 20+ runs, so include him in Big Bash betting.

Stoinis hasn’t been as consistent as his teammate, but he’s an explosive player on his day. He could fire off a quick 20 runs off a couple of overs, and it will be a painless watch for punters who included him in Big Bash same game multis.

We also like Matthew Wade to hit a six. He’s a capable hitter, and he can clear the rope. Punters get $2 for Wade to hit a six, and he hit one in the Hurricanes’ opening game earlier this week.

Best Value Bet

Glenn Maxwell Player of the Match @ $9.00

Bet Now

Maxwell is a threat with bat and ball, so we’re surprised by the $9 odds for him to win Player of the Match.

He’s one of the more explosive T20 players in the history of the game, and we thought he would be the favourite to win. Therefore, we’re snapping up the current odds before money comes for him later in the day.
