The 9th match of the Big Bash League 2020 will take place between Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Stars at the Aurora Stadium in Launceston on Wednesday, 16th of December.
Perth Scorchers have played one match this season against the Melbourne Renegades which was the 4th match of the BBL 2020 where they lost by 7 wickets to the latter. Whereas Melbourne Stars have played two matches this season, the 2nd match played against the Brisbane Heat where they won by 6 wickets and the 3rd match against the Sydney Thunder where they gained victory by 22 runs.Nathan Coulter-Nile emerged as the Man of the Match in the match against Brisbane Heat. The Perth Scorchers will be facing Melbourne Starts for the first time this season. Also as observed in the last season of BBL 2019 when the Melbourne Stars faced the Perth Scorchers they defended the latter twice by 8 wickets and 10 runs simultaneously. In the last season Melbourne Stars won a total of 10 matches securing the highest place in the points table. Melbourne Stars sit pretty on the points table so far with two wins and eight points in their kitty this season as well.
Marcus Stoinis belongs to that rare breed of cricketers who can bat anywhere in the batting order. Stoinis is a powerfully built man when it comes to cricket in any format who has the ability to clear any ground with his brutal hitting process. Given his multiple skill set and high-hitting capability he has always been a vital aspect for the team. Having opened successfully for the Melbourne Stars he is no novice to the task. After missing the Melbourne Stars opening match, he wasted no time whatsoever and raced to a 29-ball fifty. He registered his own half century in the eight over of the last match played against Sydney Thunder. Considering the same, let's look at Stoinises career graph so far. He has featured in 114 domestic T20 matches with 2707 runs at an average of 33.42. He has played 60 matches for the Melbourne Stars with an average of 38.96 and 1792 runs. Playing against the defending Perth Scorchers he has a record of playing 9 matches with an average of 32.29. His 2019 BBL record shows a total of 17 matches played with an impressive average of 54.23 and 705 runs. Stoinis has also been the leading run-scorer in last year's BBL. I have enough data to back my claim and have already put my money on this bet. LeoVegas is offering odds of 1.86 for Marcus Stoinis to score over 27.5 runs and it is one of the safest bets to put your money on.
In the first match against the Brisbane Heat saw Glen Maxwell come out, smashed them around for fun and killed all hopes for winning, leading the Melbourne Stars to two victories in a row. The skipper played a key role in leading the way with both bat and ball. Playing against the Sydney Stars in the last match, Maxwell struck four boundaries in his 29 ball scoring 39 runs, pushing the 133/4 in the 15th over before his dismissal. Maxwell is the biggest in the show in the BBL and he holds the key to Stars success. Maxwell is in form after a lean IPL and he can rip games away with his bat. Having played 222 T20 domestic matches with an impressive average of 25.44 and 4604 runs he could help win the Star's with an elusive title. His international T20 career summary also includes an average of 33.08 made from 67 matches and 1687 runs. He has played a total of 69 matches for the home team Melbourne Stars with an average of 34.37 with 1787 runs. He has featured in 7 matches against the Perth Scorchers creating an average of 26.20. The year 2019 saw him play 17 BBL games scoring at an average of 39.80 from it with 398 runs. Maxwell has done it time and again in the league games and I have already put my money on this bet. LeoVegas is offering odds of 1.86 for Glenn Maxwell to score 24.5 runs.
Colin Munro may not have had the best start to the 2020-21 edition of the Big Bash League, but we all are aware of the fact that once he gets going, the boundaries tend to look smaller! I have enough data to back my claim on the same as well. Though this will be his fifth match in the BBL format Munro holds a record of playing 202 domestic T20 matches with a striking average of 28.25 with 4717 runs. He has contributed to 65 international T20's with an average of 31.35 and 1724 runs. Colin Munro remains a highly sought after T20 cricketer. He is fifth on the ICC's T20I ranking for batsmen, and his T20I strike rate of 156.44 is the fourth highest amongst batsmen with at least 500 runs. His aggressive instincts and ability to take the game away from the opposition in a jiffy has always made him a tempting option for the leagues. The New Zealand batsman with his batting dynamics has been a consistent domestic performer. LeoVegas is offering odds of 1.86 for Colin Munro to score over 23.5 runs.
