THU vs STA Dream11 Prediction & Player Stats: 19th Match | BBL 2020-21

Hello and welcome to our THU vs STA Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing XI, and Fantasy Cricket Tips. Sydney Thunder vs Melbourne Stars will play against each other in the 19th match of the Big Bash League 2020-21 at Manuka Oval, Canberra.

Sydney Thunder:

The Sydney Thunder have performed well so far as they have won 3 out of 4 matches and are currently at 3rd position on the points table with a total of 11 points. In the last game, Sydney Thunder performed well and won the match comfortably by a massive margin of 129 runs.

After disappointing performances, both Alex Hales and Usman Khawaja appeared to be getting back in form as they both played aggressively and gave an excellent start to the Thunder. Skipper Ferguson, as usual, batted decently and steadied the middle order.

Oliver Davies has been the best find for Thunder this season. He has been batting brilliantly in the middle order scoring runs at a reasonable strike rate, and Ben Cutting is supporting him very well by batting at the same pace.

All the bowlers performed well by either controlling the flow of runs or by picking up wickets. Especially the young leg-spinner Tanveer Sangha bowled brilliantly in the last match by picking up four wickets.

Thunder has won three matches consecutively, and they would want to continue their streak by winning against Stars and move up the points table.

Melbourne Stars:

The Melbourne Stars have performed decently as they have won 2 out of the four matches, and one match was abandoned due to rain. Melbourne Stars are now at the 5th position on the points table with a total of 10 points.

Stars had to face disappointment for the first time as they lost the last match by 1 wicket. They had a very slow start as Andre Fletcher, Ben Dunk and Cartwright were not able to score runs freely, and it appeared as if Star would have to settle for a low score.

But Maxwell and Pooran had other plans as they both hit almost every ball out of the park and scored two brilliant fifties and helped the team post a total of 193 runs.

The bowling attack was considered one of the best in the tournament fell flat in the last match as they managed to pick up wickets at regular intervals but failed to control the flow of runs. Liam Hatcher has appeared to be in perfect form this season as he has been picking up wickets consistently in every match.

Adam Zampa and Nathan Coulter-Nile have also been performing decently and have managed to get some crucial wickets. 

Stars would be eager to get on the field against Thunder and would like to win this match and get back to their winning ways.
