Melbourne Stars is the favourite to win this match.
There will always be more tension and intrigue in a game when two teams from the same city compete against one another. The Stars and the Renegades both need to win, so this game will be no different. The Renegades started the season strong, but they have since had trouble supporting Aaron Finch, who has been their lone reliable performer lately. We anticipate Melbourne Stars to triumph.
