Big Bash League: STA vs THU Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Team, Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
STA vs THU Dream11 Prediction and Preview:
We are heading towards the conclusion of what has been a fantastic BBL 2019 season. The Sydney Sixers have already booked a seat for the finals happening at SCG on Sunday. Either the Thunders or Stars can make it to the Finals. The Stars if they get through will be getting to the finals for the second time on trot. They had a fantastic run earlier with 7 consecutive wins but off late have lost 4 games. This is a knockout and they will be looking to turn things around pretty quickly. The Sydney Sixers on the other hand will look to win this game and take part in the Sydney Derby if they get through. They were hugely benefitted by the new system of qualification . They knocked out Hobart and won the game against Adelaide from nowhere. They have been the underdogs this tournament and it’s not a good sight for the Stars.
