Melbourne Renegades Team News & Playing 11
The Renegades rely mainly on their skipper Aaron Finch and Cameron White at the top of the order to provide a good start to the innings. Both these batsmen were dismissed for single-digit scores against the Scorchers and the team will want them to score big against the Sixers. Dwayne Bravo is amongst the leading wicket-takers with eight wickets in three matches and so there will be plenty of hopes pinned on him. Mohammad Nabi has been very economical and he could have a good game here.

Sydney Sixers Team News & Playing 11
The likes of Jason Roy, Nic Maddinson, Jordan Silk and Nic Maddinson make up a pretty strong top-order. Silk has scored the most runs for the Sixers so far and is coming off an unbeaten 45 against the Scorchers. Daniel Sams took two wickets in that game. The left-arm fast bowler has been the most impressive of the lot and he will be the biggest threat for the Renegades. Johan Botha will also be crucial with his offspin.

Melbourne Renegades vs Sydney Sixers Prediction
Sydney Sixers have beaten Melbourne Renegades in their previous four attempts which is something that will give them a lot of hope going into this game. However, they will be playing under enormous pressure as they need to win here in order to stay alive in the tournament. Moreover, the absence of Moises Henriques and now a leg injury to Steve O'Keefe are only going to make matters worse for them. The Sixers therefore don't instill much confidence and we don't expect them to overcome the Renegades in this match.
Final Verdict: Back Melbourne Renegades to beat Sydney Sixers at 1.59 on Betfair, 1.57 on 1xbet, 1.52 on Unibet and 1.53 each on 10Cric and Betway.
