Dream11 Prediction
Although Melbourne Stars have lost their last 3 games on the trot, it is quite likely that they will choose this game to stage a comeback. Stars have played against difficult opposition, unlike Perth Scorchers who have played against weaker opposition thus far. The Melbourne bowling attack is quite capable of dismissing an opposition for a low score. Stars also defeated this opposition convincingly in their last game against each other last year.
