Adelaide Strikers Team News & Playing 11
The absence of Travis Head and Alex Carey means more reliance on skipper Colin Ingram and Jake Weatherald to deliver the goods with the bat. Ingram (262 runs in 10 matches) has been the Strikers' next best batsman after Carey while Weatherald is coming off a well-made 56 against Perth Scorchers. Rashid Khan has shown phenomenal form this BBL and he will be the team's trump card with the ball. The leg-spinner is leading the wickets charts with 17 wickets in 10 matches. Ben Laughlin (15 wickets in 10 matches) will be a big threat among the seamers.

Melbourne Renegades Team News & Playing 11
The opening pair of Marcus Harris and Matthew Short have been doing a decent job for the Renegades while Tom Cooper too has been in good form of late. Cameron White, the team's leading run-getter this season, returns to lead the side. The Renegades will rue the loss of in-form paceman Kane Richardson to the Australian T20 squad and their bowling will now rely heavily on Dwayne Bravo who is the tournament's joint-leading wicket taker with Rashid Khan. The West Indian all-rounder claimed three wickets in the last game against Brisbane Heat to help his side register a comfortable 26-run victory.

Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Renegades Betting Odds
Adelaide Strikers, despite playing at home, are the bookmakers' underdogs to win this semi-final game at odds of 2.1 on Betfair, 2 on Ladbrokes and 1.95 each on Bet365, Unibet and Betway. They won seven and lost three out of ten league matches and finished second on the points table. Melbourne Renegades came in at third spot with six wins and four losses in their ten league matches. However, they are the favorites amongst the bookmakers to win this game at odds of 1.89 on Betfair, 1.90 on Bet365, 1.86 on Unibet, 1.80 on Ladbrokes and 1.85 on Betway.
Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Renegades Prediction
Adelaide Strikers defeated Melbourne Renegades quite convincingly by 26 runs when these two teams squared off last week. And playing on their home ground where they have won all four of their matches this season will surely give the former a huge psychological advantage. However, the hosts have been hampered severely by the departure of some of their in-form players in Head, Carey and Stanlake. The Renegades on the other hand have only lost Richardson to international duty while their batting has received a big boost with the return of White. With the likes of Bravo and Pollard down the order, their batting looks very powerful and so we predict them to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Melbourne Renegades to beat Adelaide Strikers at 1.89 on 1xbet, 1.90 on Bet365, 1.86 on Unibet, 1.80 on 10Cric and 1.85 on betway.
