Melbourne Stars v Adelaide Strikers – Betting Tips and Prediction

Refer to these cricket betting tips free of charge. They can help you make stronger decisions. These predictions are based on the recent form of the players, coupled with great odds.

Bet on Agar as the Top Bowler for the Strikers

Fast bowler Wes Agar has been in great form. He is assessing conditions well and bowling accordingly. The tall right-armer grabbed the key wickets of Marcus Stoinis and Andre Fletcher when the Strikers beat the Stars earlier this month.

He was the player of the match in that win. He might only need two wickets again to be the top bowler for the Strikers. Bet on this happening at 3.5 with 22Bet.

Back Nobody to Hit a 50

The MCG is familiar to a lot of international players involved in this match, but not necessarily to those who have starred at domestic level.

The big boundaries, challenging opposition attacks and other factors might catch up with the batsmen, who could get in only to not convert and get out.

Therein is the opportunity to bet on a half-century not happening at 5.5 with 10CRIC.

Select Stoinis as the Stars’ Top Batsman

Funbet are on our list of legal betting sites in India. They continue to impress with early markets and a wide variety of events.

Bet on Marcus Stoinis to be the Stars’ top batsman at 3.0 with them. His last three BBL scores have been 97 not out, 34 and 47.
