Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Renegades Predictions

Not much separates the teams, but the Renegades will be without star bowlers Adam Zampa and Gurinder Sandhu, which is a major blow to their chances in the match.

Head-to-Head

The Strikers have won three and lost two of their last five Big Bash matches against the Renegades.

Adelaide Strikers Form

The Strikers were hit with three defeats in a row to end their playoff hopes.

Alex Carey (71 off 39) and Matthew Short (52 off 31) look to have formed a good partnership at the top of the order, but sadly it wasn’t enough for them to slip through to the playoffs. Liam Scott is the Strikers’ top run scorer, with scores of 33, 49* and 91* in his last five innings.

Lloyd Pope is joint 8th on the wickets list, taking 13 sticks at an average of 20.23. Jamie Overton is one wicket behind him, taking 3/25 and 2/13 in his last four matches.

Melbourne Renegades Form

The Renegades’ two-match winning streak ended with three defeats on the bounce.

Josh Brown is the Renegades best batter and is 5th in the runs list with 305 runs (S/R 158.03). In his last five knocks he has scored 84, 22, 80 and 35. Tim Seifert is 8th on the runs list, scoring 285 runs at an average of 31.66. Seifert has scored 29 and 66 in his last two knocks.

Gurinder Sandhu is the leading bowler in the Big Bash but will miss this match through injury, which is a major blow for the Renegades. Sadhu took four wickets in an innings in three of his last five matches. Adam Zampa has taken 3/25, 2/21 and 1/31 in his last three matches but will be missing as the national selectors have requested him to have a managed break. Hassan Khan has picked up four wickets in his last five matches at around 25 runs per match.
