Sydney Thunder vs Melbourne Stars Dream11 prediction

Here are the best fantasy picks for the match from THU

• Alex Hales has been one of the consistent performers for Thunder in BBL over the last 3 years or so. He had a very good T20 world cup that ended recently.

• Daniel Sams has to be a straightforward captain option in grand leagues. He has improved his batting to a great deal and also bowls in all the phases of the game.

• Jason Sangha can be a handy option for vice captain in small leagues. He is a low risk player who accumulates runs at a decent pace.
