The teams will be playing this fixture at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne on January 3, Monday. New Year brings us an interesting encounter and we have taken the opportunity to pick out the best bets from the STA vs REN derby match prediction exclusively for you.

Melbourne Stars will be turning against Melbourne Renegades in the first Melbourne Derby of the season. The Star's led by Glen Maxwell are placed sixth in the points table with three wins and four losses. Currently they are carrying ten points with themselves. The Renegades, on the other hand led by Nic Maddison are having the worst possible season as they have managed to win only one game out of the six they have played so far. They find themselves at the bottom of the table. The Renegades have been the worst performing team in this edition of Big Bash League which is apparent by their position on the ladder. Their last outing against the Sydney Sixers was abandoned due to the rain. On the other hand, the Stars will be joining this fixture after being thrashed by a margin of 50 runs in the hands of table toppers, Perth Scorchers. While the Renegades are struggling to find momentum the Stars will make every effort to secure their fourth win of the season. As for now, take a look at the top three betting tips from the Melbourne Stars vs Melbourne Renegades head-to-head match.

STA vs REN Player Bet:

Both the squads have suffered some blows in spite of having some of the best players in their teams. I have picked three top players for the Derby lined ahead from the STA vs REN player betting tips.

Hilton Cartwright To Score Over 16.5 Runs

Our first pick is the Stars's opening batsman, Hilton Cartwright, on whom the team is heavily dependent for runs this season. He is Star's top run scorer with a total of 215 runs from seven matches at an average of 35.83. His individual scores in these seven innings are - 12, 79, 26, 23, 23*, 42 and 10. Cartwright has scored his highest runs of 79 against the Brisbane Heat in the current tournament. The Australian all rounder has a total of 1319 runs under his belt from the 68 domestic T20's he has played since his debut in 2012. For the Stars, Cartwright has come out to bat in 29 matches and made 672 runs averaging 35.37 from them. The right-handed batsman will be playing the eight matches of his career against the Renegades. Cartwright holds a brilliant average of 71.25 while playing at the Melbourne Cricket Ground from the 10 matches he has batted in. In the last edition of BBL, Cartwright finished his innings with 239 runs from 14 matches. He averaged 29.88 from the seven matches played. Pari Match is offering lucrative odds of 1.87 for Hilton Cartwright to score over 16.5 runs in the STA vs REN player betting tips.

Joe Clarke To Score Over 20.5 Runs

The wicketkeeper-opener of the Stars failed to make an impression in the preliminary matches of the tournament but quickly managed to turn things around in his last three knocks. Clarke struggled in the initial phase of the current campaign to score a solitary run in the opening match followed by 13 runs against the Thunder. He was dismissed for a duck in two consecutive matches thereon. However he made amends to his batting techniques and went on to score 52, 85 and 52 in his last three innings to score the second highest runs for the Stars. He currently has a total of 203 runs from seven matches, which averages at 29.00. Clarke is comparatively a new face in the BBL format. He has so far played nine matches in the domestic circuit and has an average of 21.67 from them. Pari Match has offerred odds of 1.87 for Joe Clarke to score over 20.5 runs in the STA vs REN match prediction.

Sam Harper To Score Over 19.5 Runs

We will be signing off with the Renegades opening batsman who is also the wicketkeeper of the squad. The right-handed batsman made his T20 domestic debut for the Melbourne Stars before joining the Renegades. So far the Renegades batsman has played 48 matches for his franchise and amassed 1138 runs at 25.86 from them. Since his debut, Harper has played 54 domestic T20’s and piled 1148 runs at 23.91. In the ongoing season, Harper is the second highest run scorer for the Renegades after Mackenzie Harvey. He has an average of 33.40 from six innings and 167 runs. In the 2020 Big Bash League, Harper finished the season tournament as the highest run scorer of the franchise. He had managed to gather 351 runs from 14 innings averaging at 27.00 which was laced with three half centuries. Harper will look to deliver in the same consistency in the next outing as well. Meanwhile Pari Match has offerred odds of 1.87 in favour of Sam Harper to score over 19.5 runs in the STA vs REN head-to-head match.
