Melbourne Stars preview
Melbourne Stars defeated the Thunder side in the last game, and they will aim for a double. The way Hilton Cartwright and Nick Larkin batted in the last game will give them a lot of confidence. Adam Zampa has been in brilliant form, whereas the return of Coulter-Nile was also vital in the last game. Joe Clarke, Marcus Stoinis, and Glenn Maxwell are explosive players, but they need to get in form. Andre Russel and Qais Ahmad made their debut in the last game, and they are genuine T20 specialists.
Probable XI: Joe Clarke, Marcus Stoinis, Nick Larkin, Glenn Maxwell, Hilton Cartwright, Beau Webster, Andre Russel, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Adam Zampa, Brody Couch, Qais Ahmad.
