Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Stars match prediction 15th match

Sydney Sixers v Melbourne Stars | Best Winning Bets

The ꧅15th match of the Big Bash League 2020 will take place between Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Stars at the Carrara Oval in Carrara, Queensland on Saturday, the 26th of December.

The defending champions, Sydney Sixers will face the best team of the tournament on Boxing Day. The Stars have yet to lose a match, winning two matches against Brisbane Heat and Sydney Thunder, while their match against the Scorchers had to be abandoned due to rain, giving them 2 points for a draw. While Sydney Sixers are trailing behind on the point table, having lost a match to Hurricanes, they are still on a three-match winning streak against the Stars. Thisꦗ is the first time the teams will face each other at the Metricon Stadium and it is the most anticipated match of the league. I have picked the three best bets from the match to make your holidays merrier.

Glenn Maxwell to Score Over 24.5 Runs

Glenn Maxwell is a phenomenal batsman who has been with the Stars for 9 seasons. He has scored 6291 runs in his career from 270 innings, at an average of 27.12. From the 65 innings he has come out to bat for the Stars,he scored a total of 1787 runs at an average of 34.37. While these numbers are really solid, the really convincing numbers are his specific encounters with the team and at the ground. Glenn Maxwell has played 13 matches against Sydney Thunder, and he has racked up 435 runs from the matches at an average of 36.25. He has played 3 matches at the Carrara Oval for the Stars and he managed to score a total of 167 ꧂runs(43,83, 41*) from the matches at a huge average of 83.5! Sportsbet.io has offered odd🍃s of 1.85 for Glenn Maxwell to score over 24.5 runs.

Jack Edwards to Score Under 18.5 runs

Jack Edwards has played a total of 12 T20 innings in his career, which have all been for Sixers. From these 12 innings, he has made a total of 148 runs at 12.33. While he did score 47 once in his career against the Hurricanes, that was also the only time in his career he scored over 18.5 runs. He has ༒played 1 game against the Stars where he managed to get stumped at a score of 4 runs. While the youngster definitely has potential, which we see when we look at his averages for List A and First Class at 26.63 and 35.36 respectively, he is yet to adjust to the pace of T20 cricket. He is also too young to withstand the bowling prowess of Nathan Coulter and Adam Zampa, and all his numbers speak for the bet. LeoVegas.com has offered odds of 1.86 for Jack Edwards to score under 18.5 runs.

Total Match Sixes to be Over 10.5

The two teams have definitely been hitting boundaries, in both this season and the last. If we look at the current season the stars have hit 11(6, 5) sixes from their 2 games at an average of 5.5 and the Sixers have hit 19(10, 6, 3) sixes from their 3 games at an average of 6.33, which gives us a combined average of 11.83. In the last 5 head to head games between the teams, the average number of match sixes was 9.8. While this might not seem like winning numbers, w🔴e should also consider that none of the matches factoring in the numbers was at Metricon Stadium. If we look at the teams play at the stadium we see the complete picture. While the teams have not faced each other at the pitch, the total number of match sixes, from the 4 games the two teams have played, is 44 sixes at an average of 11.0 If we look at the sixes scored by these two teams, the total is just more than half at 23 sixes. If we combine this knowledge with what we know of the average sixes by the teams, we realize that it’s a sure bet. Sportsbet.io has offered odds of 1.79 for total match sixes to be over 10.5.
