Unlike opponent, the Stars have played flawless cricket. They have knocked everything off, in all three departments of the game, and are looking pretty strong and balanced. They have 16 points to their name in nine matches and their berth in the semifinals is very certain.
On the batting front, Marcus Stoinis is having a great season, he scored 478 runs from last nine games at a staggering average of 79.66. This also includes his 147 runs knock in last game which is also the best individual score in BBL history. Skipper Glen Maxwell also doing what he is known for, smashing balls all around the park. He is looking very positive this season. He is also amongst the leading scorer in BBL, scored 316 runs in nine games at an impressive strike rate of 170.81. He is the biggest threat for any opponent as when on a song can take the game away within a span of few deliveries.
Other younger players like Nick Larkin, Hilton Cartwright, and Ben Dunk are playing very well. The Stars are going to be without Peter Handscomb and Adam Zampa for the next few matches as the pair of them reports for Australian international duty but that should not be a major worry for them. In the bowling department, the emergence of Haris Rauf was not something that anyone could have expected and that has just raised the performance of the side to another level. He bagged 15 wickets in just six games and currently at second place in leading wicket-taker.

The match will be played at Perth Stadium in Perth city.
All three matches so far have witnessed scores of more than 170 in the first innings. However, chasing hasn’t been easy at the venue. The trend is expected to continue with the team winning the toss expected to bat first. 183 has been the average first score at this venue this season. Hence, we expect the team winning the toss will look to bat first at this venue.
Comparing the two teams on the basis of recent-form, it's hard to choose between the two. However, the Stars are a better-balanced side with their prime batmen are phenomenal this season. Therefore, we think that the Melbourne Stars will come out on top in this match.
We predict Melbourne Stars will win this match.
