Melbourne Stars Preview: Six straight defeats spells disaster
Losing each of their last six WBBL matches is only serving to magnify what an awful season this has been for the Melbourne Stars. A lack of bowling depth has proven their downfall outside of the ever-reliable Kim Garth and Marizanne Kapp, whilst key batters haven’t performed to the level they would’ve hoped.
Adelaide Strikers preview: Finishing with a flourish
Adelaide Strikers deserve genuine credit for how they’ve finished the campaign. So much more was expected of them as defending champions heading into 2024, but on the back of two consecutive wins, they’ve at least put themselves in a position to potentially avoid the embarrassment of a last-place finish.
Melbourne Stars Betting Analysis
Melbourne Stars’ Kim Garth can hold her head high despite her team’s terrible tournament. Bowling at a steady economic and taking ten wickets, she’s been a solid performer for the Stars despite results not going their way. When taking this into account, backing her to take 2+ wickets over the course of this match is a move worth making.
Adelaide Strikers Betting Analysis
Key to the upturn in results recently for Adelaide has been the potency of Megan Schutt with the ball. The Australian international has picked up wickets across her side’s last two games, backing up 2/14 against Hobart Hurricanes with figures of 3/19 vs Perth Scorchers. These figures warrant future investment in Schutt, specifically to take over 1.5 match wickets here via the ‘Bowler Total Match Wickets’ market.
Melbourne Stars vs Adelaide Strikers Expert Prediction
When things aren’t going your way, it’s very difficult to turn things around and Melbourne Stars are learning that the hard way, having seen their campaign flatline as a result. Adelaide Strikers may have rediscovered their 2023 title winning form too late for a last-gasp play-off charge, but are at least laying down a market for next year and are expected to end 2024 with a third straight victory.
