The betting tip is...
Renegades will Win
SYT witnessed their third consecutive loss in the tournament. Their last game was against Hobart Hurricanes and it was a low-scoring fixture. The Thunder is currently struggling with their opening lineup as Matthew Gilkes, David Warner, and Sam Whiteman failed to give the team a good start in the last game. Daniel Sams has turned out to be an important contributor with the ball. Unfortunately, he is not getting any support from his teammates.
There were high expectations from David Warner but he turned out to be a failure so far. However, the franchise will be giving him more chances. This could be the probable XI:
Predicted Lineup: David Warner, Matthew Gilkes (wk), Sam Whiteman, Oliver Davies, Alex Ross, Daniel Sams, Ben Cutting, Nathan McAndrew, Chris Green (c), Brendan Doggett, Usman Qadir
MLR have shown inconsistency in the ongoing tournament but they have kept their chances of reaching the playoffs alive. Renegades are coming to play against Sydney Thunder after scoring a win against Melbourne Stars in the last game. It was a comfortable win for the squad as their bowlers did a great job by not allowing the opposition to dominate the game. The primary issue with the Renegades is their batting performance which is completely unpredictable.
Melbourne Renegades have found the winning combination and they won’t be doing any changes to the team. Here is the Predicted XI
Predicted Lineup: Aaron Finch, Kane Richardson, Martin Guptill, Matt Critchley, Sam Harper, Ruwantha Kellapotha, Jonathan Wells, Jake Fraser McGurk, Fawad Ahmed, Thomas Rogers, Will Sutherland
Both the teams are evenly matched and the fixture will be one of the most thrilling ones in BBL. However, Renegades have a winning momentum going on and we predict they will win against the Thunder as well.
