• The Strikers have won three of the last five meetings with the Renegades.

 

On Tuesday evening, the Melbourne Renegades will face the Adelaide Strikers in Big Bash League match 54 at Docklands Stadium. The Renegades are fourth in the rankings with 12 points. In the sixth position, the Strikers are two points behind them. This match begins at 18:45 p.m. local time in Melbourne.

On Sunday, the Renegades played a close game against the top-of-the-table Perth Scorchers but were unable to secure the victory. Their playoff spot is yet unknown.

Adelaide Strikers finished the group stage in bad form, and beating the Renegades at Docklands Stadium will take a significant turnaround. They do, however, have talented players who are capable of doing so.

Adelaide Strikers is the favourite to win this match.

 

A win for any side will see them finish in the top five and advance to the play-off stage, but a loss for the Melbourne Renegades may still see them qualify. However, both clubs come into this game in terrible form and they will need their experienced players to step up and deliver a strong performance. The Melbourne Renegades have some top players like Martin Guptill, Shaun Marsh, and Aaron Finch who have seen it all before but have not been in great form this season. We believe Adelaide Strikers have the batters to win this match.
