Sydney Sixers Team News & Playing 11

SYS Team News

After Joe Denly’s England call-up, the Sydney Sixers have flown in fellow Englishman James Vince, who was in New Zealand playing for the Auckland Aces in the Super Smash. Vince and Jack Edwards both started against Perth Scorchers – Justin Avendano the other player to drop out – while Mickey Edwards, Jack’s brother, was an unused member of the squad after his first call-up this season. Nathan Lyon remains unavailable due to international duty.

SYS Key Players

Having scored 36 at the top of the order in the win against Perth Scorchers, Daniel Hughes is now the Sixers’ top run scorer this season. He has hit two half-centuries so far, with his last three innings bringing scores of 61, 24 and 36.

Jordan Silk has also passed 200 runs – he has 207 in total, while Moises Henriques is just behind on 188 after hitting 38 against Perth Scorchers.

Tom Curran actually tops the batting averages, thanks to a couple of red-inkers and a high score of 62 in the game against Sydney Thunder. The English all-rounder has also taken 11 wickets.

Steve O’Keefe is two ahead on 13, meanwhile – level with Rashid Khan at the top of this season’s Big Bash bowling charts. O’Keefe took 2-19 when these teams last met, whereas Curran hit 23 not out and took 3-18.

SYS Team Form

Sydney Sixers had won three of their previous four games before losing to Perth Scorchers last time out. That run of form actually started the last time they played Melbourne Renegades – who they restricted to 99/9 (Curran 3-18; O’Keefe 2-19) in reply to 132/7.

Moises Henriques then scored 57 from 37 balls as the Sixers beat Brisbane Heat by five wickets in reply to 164/7 – Curran having claimed another three wickets – though a five-wicket loss to Hobart Hurricanes, defending 161/8, halted their momentum.

Joe Denly signed off with an unbeaten 76 from 60 balls as the Sixers reached 152/4 with ten balls to spare in a six-wicket win against Adelaide Strikers but Cameron Bancroft was the star man as the Sixers failed to defend 177/5 last time out against the Perth Scorchers.

Melbourne Renegades Team News & Playing 11

MLR Team News

Kane Richardson has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury, while Usman Shinwari has been called up for international duty with Pakistan. English bowler Harry Gurney has linked up with the Renegades as a result, while Joe Mennie has slotted in for Richardson. Cameron White has been an unused member of the 13-man squad in each of the last two games.

MLR Key Players

Sam Harper is the only Melbourne Renegades batsman to have hit a half-century so far in Big Bash League 2018-19, which he did in the win against Brisbane Heat at the Gabba, and he is the Renegades’ top run scorer with 189 so far.

Dan Christian has contributed with bat and ball, meanwhile – hitting an unbeaten 49 against the Adelaide Strikers and picking up 2-24 with the ball in the most recent game against Brisbane. Likewise, Mohammad Nabi has a high score of 48 not out and has generally kept things tight with the ball.

Kane Richardson is their top wicket-taker with 11 so far, while Usman Shinwari has claimed eight. In their place, Cameron Boyce leads the way with seven in eight matches and a good economy rate of 6.34 runs per over, although the latter took a hit in the game against Brisbane last time out.

MLR Team Form

Melbourne Renegades bounced back from a run of three straight defeats, which started when the Sydney Sixers restricted them to 99/9 from 20 overs the last time these teams met, by winning two in a row. They go into this game on the back of a heavy defeat to Brisbane Heat, however.They got back to winning ways thanks to Aaron Finch’s brief return – he hit 42 from 39 balls before late hitting from Dan Christian and Mohammad Nabi lifted the Renegades to 150/4 and a final-over, six-wicket win against Hobart Hurricanes.

In the first of two games against Brisbane, Melbourne Renegades were on top – Usman Shinwari claiming 3-16 with the ball before Sam Harper’s half-century helped them to their target of 144 with 26 balls to spare.

Brisbane got revenge last time out, however – posting 192/4 before dismissing the Renegades for 91 from 17.5 overs.

Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades Head to Head

Sydney Sixers’ victory in December was their fifth in eight previous games against Melbourne Renegades. Tom Curran was the star of the show, with 23 unbeaten runs and figures of 3-18 from his four overs as the Renegades were restricted to 99/9 chasing 133 to win.

They only met once last season, where it was roles reversed – Melbourne Renegades’ bowlers on top to restrict the Sixers to 111/8, as Dwayne Bravo claimed 3-29 and Mohammad Nabi 2-22. Aaron Finch hit 51 and Cameron White was 49 not out in reply, in an eight-wicket win.

Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades Betting Odds

Sydney Sixers won the previous game between these two teams but are actually listed as underdogs, at a best price of 2.10 to win with Bet365 and 2.00 with Betfair. Betway are offering just 1.91, but all three have Melbourne Renegades at 1.80 to win.

It is with the ball where the game could be won, with neither side lighting the world up with the bat so far. Tom Curran, the star of the previous match between these two, is 3.75 with Bet365 to be the Sixers’ best bowler. Joint-leading wicket-taker for the tournament Steve O’Keefe is 4.50.

For the Renegades, Harry Gurney has joined up with the squad and he is a best price of 5.50 to be their best bowler as he looks to make an early impression.

Despite the general poor batting form, Daniel Hughes should not be overlooked – leading the Sixers’ batting charts this season. He is 3.75 with Betfair to be their top batsman.

🏆 Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades Prediction

Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Renegades both go into this game looking to get back to winning ways. With the Renegades struggling too often for runs, however, the Sixers can beat them for the second time this season.

Final Verdict: Back Sydney Sixers to beat Melbourne Renegades at 2.00 with Betfair and 2.10 with Bet365.
