Miserable Stars form set to continue in 2019 Mzansi Super League

The momentum is with the Durban Heat as they travel to the Wanderers to face bottom of the table Jozi Stars in the 2019 Mzansi Super League. The Heat’s Alex Hales has made a dramatic U-turn in form and is tipped in the run scoring market.

Jozi Stars Form

Jozi Stars have lost all seven games in the 2019 Mzansi Super League, the latest being a five wicket defeat to Paarl Rocks at the Wanderers. Reeza Hendricks is the third highest run scorer in the competition and his 75 runs helped the Stars post a competitive total of 171 runs.

Their bowlers struggled once again and couldn’t contain the Rocks batsmen as the visitors chased the score down with comfort. Kagiso Rabada took 3-36 but went at nine runs to the over.

The batsman odds are yet to be made available but Reeza Hendricks is sure to carry value in the run scoring market.

Chris Gayle has left the tournament so Ryan Rickelton should continue at the top of the order. Reeza Hendricks has been the bright spark for the Stars this season so they will hope he can continue his magnificent run scoring.

Durban Heat Form

The Durban Heat are on fire with three wins in a row. They are on the verge of a playoff birth after their magnificent run chase against Paarl Rocks in Paarl. The Rocks batted first and scored 195 runs, but Alex Hales blasted the Heat to victory by six wickets with an unbeaten 97 runs.

I will be looking at Hales to be the Durban Heat's best batsman once again.

Durban Heat News

I don’t foresee Durban Heat making too many changes. They have momentum on their side and with Alex Hales and David Miller in top form the batting department is looking strong. Keshav Maharaj has been superb with ball in hand.

Jozi Stars vs Durban Heat Head to Head

The Jozi Stars won both previous encounters against the Durban Heat in 2018. Their last match took place at Kingsmead where the Heat scored 128, the Stars chased it down to win by one wicket in a nail-biter.

Jozi Stars vs Durban Heat Betting Odds

Durban Heat are listed at 1.57 to win with Jozi Stars currently paying 2.37.

Jozi Stars vs Durban Heat Match Up

On paper the Jozi Stars have an exceptional team but their bowlers have not come to the party. Kagiso Rabada has been way off his best and this could be the key. With the Heat finding form and in particular Alex Hales, the battle the Stars bowlers have to keep him quiet should be an intriguing one.

Verdict

Jozi Stars v Durban Heat

After scoring 97 runs in his last match I'm tipping Alex Hales to be the Heat's best batsman at 3.75 and to also score over 24.5 runs at 1.83. Despite the Jozi Stars poor form this season Reeza Hendricks has been magnificent and I'm backing him to be the Stars best batsman at 3.60.
