- The sides clashed twice last season where SS won on both occasions.
Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades Chance of Winning
Sydney Sixers had a fantastic season last year, finishing second in the points table. The team reached the Challenger game but took an exit after a loss in the game. This year, the Sixers’ bowling department has fewer players. Although they’ve let go of quite a few players from last year, they’ve maintained the core of this bowling attack. Moises Henriques will lead the team into the first game of SS in the competition.
Melbourne Renegades finished third in the previous season of the competition. MR were knocked out a game earlier than Sydney Sixers in the competition. This season, the team has made some squad changes and will look to do even better in the brand new season. They’ve released three all-rounders from last season including Andre Russell. Moreover, they’ve also let go of the wicket-keepers, Peter Handscomb and Sam Harper, replacing them with Quinton de Kock and Joe Clarke.
- Sydney Sixers's chance of winning: 64%
- Melbourne Renegades’s chance of winning: 36%
Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades Betting Tips
Aaron Finch to score over 18.5 runs (1.833 @1XBET)
Aaron Finch, the former Australian captain, will play for the Renegades this season as well. He has over 10000 runs in the 20 over format and averages at 33.80 in the format. He has actively batted in the domestic leagues and is a huge batting figure in the team. Last season, Finch was one of the top scorers in the tournament with 428 runs in 15 games at an average of 38.90. The batter smashed four fifties in his campaign. He had a fantastic season and will be expected to bat fiercely in the upcoming game as well. He scored 37 & 17 runs in the two games against Sydney Sixers last season. That said, you should pick this betting tip for a heavy bonus.

Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades Toss Prediction
Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney will host this clash of the Big Bash League 2023-24. It is only the second match of the season and the first at this venue. We expect a high-scoring game considering the pitch conditions and the batting strength of both lineups. However, considering Sydney’s performances here last season, we reckon batting first would be a better strategy.

Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades Betting Odds
Moises Henriques and co. are all set to begin their 2023-24 BBL season at the SCG in front of their home crowd taking on Melbourne Renegades. They have let go of Naveen-ul-Haq and Chris Jordan and brought in bowling all-rounder Tom Curran. Ben Dwarshuis, Sean Abbott, and Jackson Bird will handle the bowling department. Josh Philippe and James Vince should open the innings for the Sixers. And while there is no Daniel Christian this year, the lower order will still be quite strong with the likes of Jordan Silk, Hayden Kerr, and Tom Curran.
Melbourne Renegades boast of a solid overall squad with many big-impact players who could turn the game on its head single-handedly. Some of the notable mentions among the new signings for MR include Adam Zampa, Nathan Lyon, and Peter Siddle among the bowlers. His addition to this bowling attack surely adds a lot of strength and Zampa with his leg-break is well-known for his ability to strike at the right time. Quinton de Kock had a fantastic campaign in the World Cup and will be the answer for the batting problems of the team.
