Melbourne Renegades vs Sydney Sixers & Betting Tips 2022
Sydney Sixers registered their third win in the previous match against Melbourne Renegades. Meanwhile, the Melbourne Renegades lost their second match of the season against Hobart Hurricanes and Sydney Sixers. Their attacking opening pair of Kurtis Patterson and Josh Philippe with pacers such as Sean Abbott, Hayden Kerr and Ben Dwarshuis who picked 4 wickets in the last game favour Sydney Sixers to win the match. The team led by Moises Henriques seems in good touch with the batting line-up being in form and bowlers taking wickets in every match without giving out many runs.
If Sydney Sixers bat first, we expect a score of 150 plus runs. If Melbourne Renegades bat first, expects somewhere between (130 to 140) runs.
Aaron Finch is a big problem for Sydney Sixers. He can be destructive with the bat after an early wicket and be the game-changer for his team.
We are backing the Sydney Sixers to emerge winners in the 21st match.
