Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades Preview

  • Melbourne Renegades suffered their first loss of the season after three straight victories.
  • The Sixers won their past two games in back-to-back fashion thanks to Steve O’Keefe and Hayden Kerr.
  • In the last two games, the Renegades’ batting performance has deteriorated.

 

Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Renegades square off in Game 18 of the 2022–23 Big Bash League on Wednesday night in Sydney. The Sixers have won their past two games after defeating the Melbourne Stars by a score of seven wickets on Boxing Day. For the first time this season, the Brisbane Heat defeated the Renegades on Christmas Eve. The game kicks off at the Sydney Cricket Ground at 19:15 local time.

Sydney Sixers’ bad performance from the 2021–22 BBL continued with losses in their opening matches in this tournament. Nevertheless, they are starting to win, so they think they can win this game again.

The Melbourne Renegades have seen a lot of player turnover as a result of the recent additions of Martin Guptill and David Moody to the squad. If the players don’t soon catch up, the team will suffer.

Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades Match Toss Prediction

In 26 of the 50, BBL games played at the SCG, the team batting second prevailed. Despite the fact that this statistic only slightly favours bowling first, the ground wicket gives both skippers a strong argument for doing so.


Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades Pitch Report

The SCG’s pitch lacks the bounce and speed of comparable Australian fields. It is a terrific batting surface, though. It is Australia’s preferred location for spinners.


Sydney Sixers Team News & Probable Playing XIs

The Sixers don’t have any fresh injury concerns because Chris Jordan is getting close to making his comeback. A change in the team’s composition was advocated earlier in the season, but now that the team’s performance has improved, we anticipate that the same lineup will be used in this game.

Melbourne Renegades Team News & Probable Playing XIs

Martin Guptill from New Zealand has joined the Renegades as their overseas replacement for departing Andre Russell, whose four-game stay has come to an end. Both with the bat and the ball, Russell was outstanding, so the bowling attack will need to do a better job of filling his wickets.

Most analysts would have predicted that Sydney Sixers would have no trouble against Melbourne Renegades before the start of this season. However, the Renegades enjoyed a strong start to the season while the Sixers had back-to-back losses. The Sixers have found their form at the moment, and their players love playing at the SCG. In this game, we think Sydney Sixers will prevail.
