MLS Vs MLR - Who Will Be The Player Of The Match?
Jake Fraser-McGurk has looked dangerous with the bat in the tournament. After smashing the fastest List A hundred last year, the Young Turk is showing his class in the T20 format.
Against the Adelaide Strikers, he hit a half-century off a mere 22 balls. If he gets going, it would be tough for the Stars’ bowlers to put a lid on him.
MLS Vs MLR - Who Will Win Today's Toss?
As per today’s toss prediction, teams should bat first after winning the toss. Chasing has not been all that easy at the venue over the years.
Both teams have powerful strikers in their ranks and can put in big targets for the opposition to chase down. The Stars may also field first since they do not have Haris Rauf and Usama Mir in their team.
MLS Vs MLR Venue, Pitch and Weather Report
The pitch at the MCG is not expected to be a great one for the batters. The last match that took place at the venue was a low-scoring affair. The Stars were bowled out for 101 in 19.1 overs. Fast bowlers are likely to get a lot of help from the surface.
Playing conditions will be cloudy and there will be around 10 percent chance of rain. Temperatures will be around 23 degrees Celsius with the humidity in the high-70s.
MLS Vs MLR Match Winner Prediction
As per today’s match prediction, Melbourne Renegades will go into the game with the upper hand. Firstly, they will be high on confidence after beating the Strikers recently on the back of a stupendous knock from Fraser-McGurk. Moreover, the Renegades can cash in on the Stars’ depleted bowling lineup.
A win will take the Renegades closer to the top four spots. The Stars have won three matches in a row, but it remains to be seen if they can extend their winning streak after losing some of their key players.
