Sydney Thunder vs Melbourne Stars | Bets that will Make Money

Sydney Thunder will lock horns with Melbourne Stars in match number 19 of the Big Bash League 2020-2021 season at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on December 29, Tuesday.

Sydney Thunder are in an extremely advantageous position running second on the points table of the ongoing season of the Big Bash League. Melbourne Stars, on the other hand, are in the fourth spot and have an equally good opportunity to climb the ladder. This is an extremely fascinating affair and I literally cannot wait for the action to begin tomorrow afternoon. Two dangerous sides and have been on top of their games and surprisingly both teams have lost one game each. To add to the excitement levels, I have handpicked three of the best player markets from this match for you to bet on. Let's go through them one by one:

Callum Ferguson to score over 21.5 runs

The skipper of the Sydney Thunder has been phenomenal and boy he did let his bat do the talking! Callum Ferguson has been on top form in recent times and quite unsurprisingly he is the highest run getter for Sydney Thunder in this ongoing season with 146 runs in four matches at an average of 48.66. Just to add to the previous piece of stat, Ferguson is also the fifth highest run scorer in Big Bash League 2020-21. His last four T20 scores had two half-centuries in them and both those fifties came in this ongoing edition of the Big Bash League. He has scored 2942 runs at an average of 27.24 in his domestic T20 career. He has played eight matches at the Manuka Oval in Canberra at an average of just a little over 40.0. Ferguson averages 26.60 in the Big Bash League so far and that is definitely north of the market requirement. Sportsbet.io has offered odds of 1.85 for Callum Ferguson to score at least 22 runs against Melbourne Stars on Tuesday afternoon.

Glenn Maxwell to hit over 0.5 sixes

From the Thunder's captain, we will now shift our focus to the Stars skipper - Glenn Maxwell! The Big Show has been having a sensational year in the shortest format of the gentleman's game. Maxwell though is known for his big-hitting prowess and that is exactly what we are going to cultivate. Maxwell has smashed 322 sixes in 279 T20 innings in his career so far and that is obviously more than one six per game. In the previous season of the Big Bash League, Maxwell had cleared the boundary ropes with ease 20 times in 17 matches for Melbourne Stars. In his last 5 T20 innings, Maxwell has sent the ball out of the park 13 times and that is more than at least 2 sixes per match. LeoVegas has offered odds of 1.65 for Maxi to hit at least one six against Sydney Thunder and it should be a walk in the park for the veteran T20 specialist.

Glenn Maxwell to score over 25.5 runs

I am not done yet with Maxwell! Wait before you head over to place your bets because the skipper of the Melbourne Stars has the potential to make us a lot more money tomorrow afternoon. As I have mentioned earlier, Maxwell has been having a scintillating year with his big willow and he has continued with his form in this edition of the Big Bash League. After a sorry IPL 2020 in the United Arab Emirates, Maxwell came back with a bang in the white-ball series against India Down Under. His last five T20 scores - 71, 39, 46, 54 and 22 - speak volumes about his consistency. Maxwell has 6362 runs against his name in his T20 career at an average of 27.42. He is also the fifth highest run getter when it comes to head-to-head encounters with 208 runs at an average of 26.0. The last time he played against Sydney Thunder, Maxwell managed to add 39 runs from 29 balls earlier this season. Sportsbet.io has once again offered 1.85 for Glenn Maxwell to score at least 26 runs against Sydney Thunder. Don't wait, go wait!
