Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Stars will square off in their bids to secure a berth in finals. Melbourne Stars were in excellent form before faltering towards the rear end of the season and have lost four consecutive games. Though the team is stacked with many match-winners and the likes of Maxwell, Handscomb, Stoinis and Zampa can change a game at any instance. The performances from their top billers will play a vital role in deciding who will win today match.

On the other hand, the last few games of Thunder have been no less than a fairy tale as they have qualified for the challenger fighting all the adversities. Alex Hales is in exceptional form, and single-handedly steered the batting of the team in the last two games. Daniel Sams has a knack of taking wickets at the right moments and will again be the bowler to watch out. The game could prove to be a classic case of a battle between crazy talent and teamwork.

India Fantasy Predictions:

On the commencement of playoff, if someone would have said that the challenger game would be played between the Thunder and Stars, most of the fans would have probably laughed off the suggestion. However, cricket proved its uncertainty once again, and Thunder who finished fifth in the table will face Melbourne Stars, who were once looking invincible to secure a place in big bash final.
The Thunder have shown incredible grit and fighting spirit to book a meeting with stars and are on an incredible winning streak. Alex Hales found the form at just the right time whereas Callum Ferguson, Alex Ross and Usman Khwaja has appropriately played the supporting roles. Jonathan Cook and Daniel Sams look unplayable when on a song and the Thunder look like the team to beat at the moment.
However, Stars have a firm and stable side and have been boosted by the return of Haris Rauf. The toss is expected to play an important role and game should go to the wire. India fantasy agrees with the win prediction and believes that Melbourne Stars will achieve a very narrow win against the Thunder.
