Melbourne Stars vs Sydney Thunder | Bets to Make Money

The 3rd match of the Big Bash League will take place between Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Stars at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on Saturday, the 12th of December.

The Big Bash League has begun, and we are going to see a recurrence of the final playoff of the last season when Melbourne Stars and Sydney Thunders fought for a spot in the finals, which was won by the Stars. This is the second match the teams are facing at the Manuka Oval, though the previous match was cut short by the rains, and the Stars could not chase the target set by DLS for them. The form for the Stars against Thunder in the last 5 games has been - W W W W L. I have assorted the best odds from the match, you can go through them and bet on them to make a lot of money.

Hilton Cartwright to Score Over 20.5 runs

The Australian batsman displayed excellent form in the last season while playing for Melbourne Stars. He has a career average of 28.84 from 49 matches and his average last season playing for the stars was 38.33 from the 8 innings he came out to bat. If these numbers don’t already paint a picture of how high the chances of winning this bet are, consider this statistic. He has played in 4 matches against Sydney Thunder in his career, and his average against them is 43.50. In his first game of the season, he scored 46 runs against Brisbane Heat and remained not-out till he scored a victory for his team. He has had a stunning year so far, with an average of 59.5 from 7 matches. Cartwright just has to continue his performances with the bat, and continue playing as he has been, for he scored well over 20.5 runs in 4 of the last 5 matches. Sportsbet.io has offered odds of 1.85 for Hilton Cartwright to score over 19.5 runs and this bet is a definite winner.

Alex Hales to score under 24.5 runs

Alex Hales, the batsman hailing from England, has had an indomitable career in T20’s. He has played for 14 different teams in his 11-year batting career and has scored a total of 7300 runs from 267 matches at an average of 29.67. But don’t let that put you off this bet, for his performances recently have been failing more often. In the last 5 matches that he played, Hales was able to score a meager 71 runs (11, 22, 0, 29, 9) which is an average of just 14.2, if this sample size doesn’t seem big enough to you, let me double it. In the last 10 matches, Hales was able to score an average of 17.6 which is quite underwhelming for a player of his repute and quite good for our bet. In these matches, he was able to score over 24.5 runs only 2 out of 10 times. If all these statistics haven’t been able to assuage you, let me give you one final statistic that should definitely convince you. Alex Hales has played against the Stars in 5 matches, and he has been able to score a total of only 39 runs with an average of 7.80 against them. Sportsbet has offered odds of 1.85 for Alex Hales to score under 24.5 runs and this is a very safe bet to play.

Nick Larkin to score over 16.5 runs

Nick Larkin, the Australian batsman had a solid season playing for the Stars in the previous Big Bash League. Larkin has come out to bat in 21 innings in his career and has scored a total of 487 runs at 34.79. His average in the previous season of the BBL was 39.13 from 12 matches and his overall average with the team has been 35.08 from 22 matches. He has played two matches at the Manuka Oval and scored a total of 76 runs (28 and 46) and did not get dismissed in both the matches. He has played 5 matches against Sydney Thunder and has an average of 111.50 from them. With statistics like these to his name, I have no doubt that Nick Larkin will score over 16.5 runs and Sportsbet.io has offered odds of 1.85 for Larkin to cross 16.5 runs.
