Strengths
Sydney Thunder (THU)
- Sam Billings is playing this game and he is in terrific form at the moment. He will add some massive stability in the middle order.
- Their bowling unit looks complete with Adam Milne’s raw pace and Daniel Sams’s left arm angle, their bowling attack is certainly hard to score runs against for the opposition.
Melbourne Stars (STA)
- Marcus Stoinis is back at the top of the order.
- Liam Hatcher has been the real find for them in this season so far.
- Zahir Khan provides a new variety to their bowling attack.

Melbourne Stars (STA)
- Ben Dunk has been inconsistent for one more time in this season
- Their death bowling can be bit of a concern if Nathan Coulter-Nile is taken apart.
