At the GMHBA Stadium on Friday night, Melbourne Renegades and Sydney Sixers square off in Game 21 of the 2022–23 Big Bash League. After winning their first three games, the Renegades have now suffered two straight defeats. The Sydney Sixers dropped their first two games before winning their subsequent three. At 18:30 local time in Geelong, the game begins.
The Melbourne Renegades surprised everyone in the tournament’s initial rounds, but they need to stop losing as soon as possible. In this game, it will be exceedingly difficult to defeat an in-form Sydney Sixers team.
Sydney Sixers’ recent form demonstrates that they are still among the strongest teams, and they were always anticipated to contend for the top spot in the BBL table this season. In the rematch on Wednesday, they were resounding winners.

Sydney Sixers is the favourite to win this match.
After Sydney Sixers were generally unchallenged at the SCG on Wednesday, it will be very intriguing to observe how both teams approach this game. The Renegades will play in front of their home crowd, so a slower, lower-scoring pitch might help level the playing field. Therefore, we predict that the Sydney Sixers will prevail in this match.
