BlueBet previews the BBL07 Round 7<\/strong> action below. Read on for our best betting tips per game and an overview of the feature games this round.<\/p>\n When: 11th Jan 2018, 7:40pm (AEDT) The Sydney Thunder face a must win game at 2-4 and in 6th place on the ladder. They were beaten by the Strikers at home in their last game and will now be missing Englishman Jos Buttler. That puts the pressure on Watson and the rest of his struggling side. In positive news, Khawaja is back in the side and he\u2019s coming off a huge hundred in the 5th test.<\/p>\n Perth continued their impressive season with a last ball victory over the Renegades at home. They sit second on the ladder with a 5-1 record, but they will be missing a few key players for this one. Richardson and Tye have been picked for Australia\u2019s ODI series. David Willey is also out and Tim Bresnan will take his place. Cam Bancroft is also back from the Test series.<\/p>\n The Scorchers are 5-1 against the Thunder since 2010. They\u2019ve also never lost against them in Sydney and have scored 170+ in the last two meetings.<\/p>\n For the Thunder, Shane Watson is the key batsman. He\u2019s currently third in the Big Bash with 236 runs at an average of 56.80. Usman Khawaja is one to watch after his hundred at the SCG against England. We\u2019ll wait a game to see how he adjusts to T20 from Test cricket though. Our man Klinger lost his wicket first ball last game, but could rebound against the Thunder openers. However, we do like Ashton Turner after his impressive match-winning knock against the Renegades. He leads the Scorchers with 196 runs in 6 innings and has hit two half-centuries. Scorchers WIN ($1.70)<\/strong><\/a> When: 12th Jan 2018, 7:40pm (AEDT) The Renegades were beaten on the last ball against the Scorchers last game but will confident of a rebound against the Stars. Cameron White continued his batting form and Tom Cooper is an underrated T20 batsman. The bowlers let them down against Perth but the Stars aren\u2019t batting well at the moment. In team news, Aaron Finch is out however the Renegades have the depth to replace him.<\/p>\n The Melbourne Stars horror season continues as they sit at the bottom of the ladder with a 0-5 record. Their bowling lineup is arguably the worst in the Big Bash as they just can\u2019t take early wickets. To make matters worse, their top order batting is out of form and usually has to be saved by Maxwell or Stoinis. They\u2019ll lose Stoinis to the Australian squad as well.<\/p>\n The Stars are 8-4 against the Renegades since 2010. However, the Renegades beat them last week and have a better squad this season.<\/p>\n With no Finch, that opens up the batting lineup for Cameron White to top score. He\u2019s averaging 142.50 with the bat and has three half-centuries in 6 innings. He also won the game against the Stars in the last meeting. Tom Cooper is another to watch as he\u2019s scored 143 runs in 4 innings so far. The Stars batting lineup is in disarray at the moment. Ben Dunk has been a failure at the top, Pieterson looked very average last game, Handscomb is out of form and Luke Wright is injured. So that leaves us with the in-form Glenn Maxwell. He has scores of 60, 33 and 50 in his last three matches and he\u2019s the best bet for the Stars here.

\nDespite missing a few key bowlers, Johnson is hard to face, Joel Paris is similar to Richardson and Tim Bresnan is a decent replacement for Willey. The Thunder have a strong spin bowling lineup, but the likes of Turner and Agar should enjoy facing them in the middle overs. Whereas the Thunder have a weak batting lineup. Scorchers to win.<\/p>\n

\nUntil the Stars start taking early wickets and scoring power-play runs, this team is just hard to watch or bet on at the moment. The Renegades just scored 180+ against the Scorchers in Perth and their bowlers should enjoy a better time at Etihad.<\/p>\n
