For Sydney Sixers, Sean Abbott, Shadab Khan and Ben Dwarshuis are our bowling tips. Abbott has 9-84 from his last three matches.
For Melbourne Renegades, we are recommending Kane Richardson, Reece Topley and Jack Prestwidge with the ball. With the captaincy, Richardson will be looking to lead from the front.
