Four out of the seven matches played at this venue last season were won by the side batting second. So the team that wins the toss in this match will more likely opt to chase.
Partly cloudy skies with no rain threat has been forecast for this game. 23-26 degrees Celsius is the expected temperature range during the course of the match.
The Docklands Stadium did not witness many high-scoring encounters last BBL season. So one can expect a pitch that will have something in it for both batsmen and bowlers.

Melbourne Renegades made just the one change to their side for the previous game against Hobart Hurricanes; they dropped Jack Wildermuth and brought in test specialist batsman Marcus Harris. The team will be going into Sunday's clash against Adelaide Strikers with a clean bill of health and could turn up with an unchanged eleven. Tom Cooper was pushed down the order last time and his batting position was taken by Marcus Harris.
Shaun Marsh: He seems to be in fine form and has contributed with the bat in all three matches. The top-order batsman struck a quickfire half-century against Perth Scorchers last week.
Aaron Finch: The Renegades captain is having a strike-rate of 144.59. After decent knocks in the first two matches, Finch fired last time against the Hurricanes scoring 50 off 37 balls.
Kane Richardson: He is one of the major threats in Melbourne's bowling attack. The fast bowler notched up a four-wicket haul against the Scorchers and he will be expected to deliver a similar performance on Sunday.
Melbourne Renegades currently find themselves at the bottom of the pool with three defeats in three Big Bash League matches. They lost to Sydney Thunder by six wickets in their opening game before losing their next two games - against Perth Scorchers by 11 runs and Hobart Hurricanes by 7 wickets. The Renegades have not been up to the mark with the ball in the last two matches.

Adelaide Strikers chose experience over exuberance in their last match against Melbourne Stars as they replaced Harry Conway by Peter Siddle. The latter put up a good show with the ball and has probably sealed his spot for this upcoming encounter against the Renegades. The Strikers are coming on the back of a win and so we don't expect them to tinker with their current combination.
Jonathan Wells: A key man in Adelaide's middle-order batting, Jonathan Wells is yet to be dismissed this season. He now has two fifties in three games - 55 against Sydney Thunder and 68 in the last game against Melbourne Stars.
Jake Weatherald: He is topping the BBL run chart with 146 runs at an average of 48.66 and strike-rate of 167.81. Weatherald smacked a 47-ball 83 against the Scorchers last Monday to help his team post a match-winning total of 198.
Peter Siddle: The pacer is looking in good rhythm at the moment. He claimed 3-24 last time against Melbourne Stars and bowled an impressive final over to win the game for the Strikers.
Adelaide Strikers are second on the BBL 09 points table with two wins and a washout from three league matches. Their campaign opener against Sydney Thunder had ended in a no result due to poor visibility caused by smog. The Strikers then secured wins in their following two matches - against Perth Scorchers by 15 runs (DLS method) at home and against Melbourne Stars by 4 runs in a tight contest at Queensland.

Melbourne Renegades enter this game as favorites to win at 1.71 with 10CRIC. Adelaide Strikers, despite winning their last two matches, find themselves as the underdogs with the same bookmaker at a slightly higher odds of 1.95.
Adelaide Strikers will be the more confident of the two teams heading into this clash having won their last two fixtures. They also have the psychological edge of having beaten Melbourne Renegades thrice in their previous four meetings in the BBL. The Renegades are under plenty of pressure after losing their first three matches on the bounce. However, they do have the advantage of playing at their home ground where they won five of their seven games last season including the semi-final and the final. The defending champions will be itching to open their account on the points table and they will surely fancy their chances at this venue.
