Fantasy Tips of The Day
As far as all-rounders are concerned, Sydney have more depth and firepower as compared to Melbourne.
Along with Marcus Stoinis, Hilton Cartwright has the ability to clear the ropes at regular intervals. He was the highest six-hitter (22) for his side in 2021.
In the last 2 games of the 2021 edition at the Manuka Oval, only 3 out of 26 wickets belonged to the spinners.
