Stars @ $1.90

The Stars looked good when opening their Big Bash account with a win, and given the experience on the team, they could be title threats.

They have Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, and Peter Siddle, so they’ll always have that stability in the team. Stoinis is off to a good start, having scored 62 runs last week, and that’s a good sign for Melbourne Stars backers.

Campbell Kellaway also made an excellent impression with 42 runs in his BBL debut with the bat, so we’re comfortable in picking the Stars to win. If their bowling attack is steady, the bats are good enough to get them over the line with either a big opening innings or a run chase.

Same Game Multi

Stars H2H, Marcus Stoinis Over 21.5 Runs, Chris Lynn Over 23.5 Runs, Haris Rauf 2+ Wickets @ $9.50

Bet Now

Betting on Stoinis often results in a good pay day, and we have him scoring over 21.5 runs. He scored 62 runs in the opening game, and that’s an ominous sign for the opposing bowlers on Tuesday night.

He might be playing for the Strikers, but we also like Chris Lynn over 23.5 runs. He was disappointing last week with only five runs, but that followed totals of 88, 49, and 47 runs. He’s a classy batsman, and he should get back to his best.

Haris Rauf took two wickets in his BBL debut, and the Stars bowler could repeat the dose. It was an excellent introduction to the competition, so include him at $1.90 with Big Bash cricket odds.

Best Value Bet

Haris Rauf Top Stars Bowler @ $3.75

Bet Now

The 32-year-old made an impression in his Big Bash debut with two wickets, and the Pakistani bowler could have more success against Adelaide.

He’s the leading wicket-taking chance for the Stars, and although they have Siddle, Tom Curran, and Liam Hatcher, Rauf has the pace and accuracy to topple the top order or clean up the tail end.

$3.75 is a good price, so include him in Big Bash predictions.
