Best Best
It’s a shame Maxy plays in such a rubbish team because he’s had a terrific tournament with both bat and ball. He’s scored 30+ runs in five straight home games and in seven of eleven against the Hurricanes. Worth a bet for Player of the Match too, which he has won in five of his last twelve games.
Value Bet
We’ve gone away from backing Cartwright in recent games and wouldn’t you know it, he top-scored yet again for the Stars in their last match-up. The number six has top scored in five of his last ten matches in Stars colours yet remains a very juicy price. He’s just super dependable for a 30, which is often enough in a very flaky line-up.
