Melbourne Renegades vs Sydney Sixers & Betting Tips 2022

Sydney Sixers registered their second win in the previous match against Melbourne Stars. Meanwhile, the Melbourne Renegades lost their first match of the season against Hobart Hurricanes. Their attacking middle order of Moises Henriques and James Vince with pacers such as Sean Abbott and Hayden Kerr favour Sydney Sixers to win the game. The team led by Moises Henriques seems in good touch as he is leading the team with his excellent captaincy and batting skills as we saw in the previous match against Melbourne Stars.

If Sydney Sixers bat first, we expect a score of 160 plus runs. If Melbourne Renegades bat first, expects somewhere between (140 to 150) runs.

Andre Russell is a big problem for Sydney Sixers. He can be lethal in the middle overs with the bat and be the match-winner for his team.

We are backing the Sydney Sixers to emerge victorious in the 18th match.
