Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Stars match prediction

Adelaide Strikers will host Melbourne Stars in match 48 of the ongoing Big Bash League at the Adelaide Oval, this Wednesday evening.

Melbourne Stars suffered an unexpected jolt after a miraculous run which saw them win eight matches in a row. But, their job is not yet over and will travel to Adelaide to lock horns with the home team and also cement their spot in the pole position. Meanwhile, the hosts will be eager to win and leapfrog Sydney Sixers to the second spot.

Stoinis the top scorer in three of the last four matches

If you are in the mood of earning some quick cash, this is the best you should focus on. This might sound like a cliché, but frankly speaking, Stoinis has set such a level that we cannot ignore him.

In the last five matches, he has scored a total of 254 runs at an average of 50.8 which includes 1 half century and a century coupled with the fact that he was the top scorer in three of those occasions. Overall, he is the highest run scorer in the ingoing BBL with a tally of 585 runs (almost 200 runs aloof of his nearest competitor), scoring at a aret of 73.12 runs per game which includes five fifties and lone three-digit score.

His scores in the last five matches while playing away – 62, 39, 0, 58, 25 and he was also the top batsman for the Stars in three of the above mentioned occasions. The last match he played at the venue, he managed to score a total of 39 runs, only second to Glenn Maxwell. He is the top run scorer in H2H matches against Adelaide Strikers racking up 176 runs at an average of 35.20. These are more than enough to invest money for this lucrative bet.

Adelaide hit a lot of sixes at home

Well, I am aware that many eyebrows have already been raised after reading that line, but I am not going to disappoint you. That is my promise.

In the past five matches, Strikers have never been outnumbered in terms of the sixes hit in the match, with a total of 21 strikes while conceding just 13. On the other hand, the Stars have been the second best side on one of their last five encounters. It is a point to note that the stars have hit 28 sixes and conceded 27 in the same time frame. Close isn’t it?

Moreover, the Strikers have been very dominant at home, having been outnumbered by the number of sixes on just one occasion in the past five games. Having cleared the ropes a total of 27 times, they shipped in just 16 sixes. On the flip side, the Stars have struggled in the away matches, having struck just 18 sixes in the last five matches on the road but conceded 22. The home advantage slightly gives Strikers even though Stars are filled with big hitters. Now, just go and place the bet.

Khan has taken 11 out of his 16 wickets at the venue

By far one of the most talked about T20 cricket in the world at the moment, the Afghan has taken the BBL by storm. He has been sensational with the ball, effective with the bat and a livewire in the field.

In the last five matches, he took a total of 8 wickets often rattling the batsmen with his trickery. The leggy has always delivered when it mattered the most for his team, which is evident from the fact that he is their top bowler having scalped 16 wickets in the 11 matches he has played. In the last match against the Stars, he took a single wicket and gave away 23 runs, but that’s not convincing you, is it?

Well, let me inform you that he has been at his best when playing at the Adelaide Oval. Rashid Khan’s figures in the last five home matches – 1/15, 2/19, 4/22, 1/44, 3/40 which is incredible. As you can make out, he has taken 11 of the 16 wickets in this BBL at the venue. It is needless to say, he knows the conditions inside out, which makes it obvious that he is going to rule in the upcoming match.
