Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Stars match prediction 36th match

Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Stars | Best Team Bets in the Market

The 36th match of the Big Bash League will take place between the Melbourne Stars and the Adelaide Strikers, at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide on Monday, the 11th of January.

Melbourne Stars and Adelaide Strikers will face off in their first match this season, on Monday. Adelaide lost their second match to Melbourne Renegades on Friday and would be looking to make a comeback, and while they are still above the Stars on the table, they have also played one more match. The Stars are the favourites to win, with the indomitable performance of their batsmen this season. The Sixers have crushed both teams in their matches this season, and both the teams have one win and one loss against both Brisbane Heat and Hobart Hurricanes. This is going to be the first match for Melbourne Stars at the pitch, while Adelaide had already won three matches on the pitch before losing their last game there. While the odds on betting on the Stars aren't that high, I have assorted the best bets from the market so you can score a win from the game too.

Adelaide Strikers to get the Highest Opening Partnership

Let's start with the easiest bet on the market. Andre Fletcher and Marcus Stoinis, who play for the Melbourne Stars, have played 6 complete matches so far, and from the games, they have managed to score a total of just 115 runs from their opening partnerships, at an average of 19.17 runs per match. Phillip Salt and Matthew Renshaw, who open for Adelaide Strikers have opened in 3 matches and scored a total of 77 runs at an average of 25.67 runs per match. Even if we look at their opponents opening partnerships from the matches, Adelaide is the favorite to win this bet. Melbourne Stars have conceded a total of 168 runs from the opening partnerships of their 6 matches, at an average of 28.0, while the Strikers have conceded a total of 246 runs from 9 games, at an average of 27.33. I would also like to point out that Adelaide Strikers have had the highest opening partnership in 6 out of 9 matches, while Melbourne Stars have gotten the highest opening partnership in only 3 out of 7 matches played. Sportsbet.io has offered odds of 1.93 for Adelaide Strikers to have the highest opening partnership.

Melbourne Stars to hit most match Sixes

I have a winning bet here that will allow you to almost double your money! This is a frontier where Melbourne Stars have an obvious advantage over Adelaide Strikers. In this season, Melbourne Stars have managed to hit a total of 52 sixes (6, 5, 14, 10, 6, 11) from 6 matches, while Adelaide Strikers have just been able to hit 42 sixes (7, 5, 2, 2, 7, 1, 3, 7, 8) from 9 matches! While I don't think you need me to do the math for this one, that's an average of 8.66 sixes per match for the Stars, while Adelaide Strikers have been hitting at a rate of 4.66 sixes per match. In the 9 matches that Adelaide Strikers have played, not only were they 10 sixes short of the boundaries the Stars got from 3 fewer matches, but they also weren't able to cross the Stars average of 8.66 Sixes, even once! With hard hitters like Glenn Maxwell, Hilton Cartwright, and Marcus Stoinis playing for Melbourne Stars, this bet is a definite winner. LeoVegas has dreamed up odds of 1.93 for Melbourne Stars to score the most Match 6's and you should take it while you have the chance.

Adelaide Strikers to hit the Most Match 4's

I have a bet here that is not only a winner but will allow you to make more than double your money. While Melbourne Stars dominate the tournament with their Sixes, they tend to not hit as many smaller boundaries, and thus the Striker are at an advantage here. In the 6 complete matches played by the Melbourne Stars this season, they have hit a total of 65 fours, at an average of 10.83. While Adelaide Strikers have managed to hit a total of 116 fours from their 9 games, at an average of 12.88, while this is obviously favorable to our bet, I would also like to point out that in the same matches the Stars were conceding fours at an average of 13.16 while the Strikers conceded fours at a similar average of 12.77, so not only have the Striker been hitting more boundaries, they are also conceding fewer boundaries in every match than the Melbourne Stars. To make this bet juicier, Sportsbet.io has offered odds of 2.10 for the Strikers to be the team to hit the most match fours.
