Sydney Thunder vs Melbourne Renegades Betting Tips
Sydney Thunder to score over 23.5 runs before 1st dismissal (1.85@Parimatch)
Sydney Thunder have had a very inconsistent campaign this season. They performed decently in the batting department but their bowling order did not replicate the same vigour. Their opening line-up had a few ups and downs but it has been better since David Warner arrived for the opening position. Alex Hales and Warner open for the team currently and average at 28.66 & 25.00 respectively in the competition. The team scored 35, 44 & 36 runs before their first dismissal in the last three games. This indicates a good coordination between the openers presently in the squad. In their last clash in the previous season, Sydney Thunder posted 57 runs before their first loss in the game. That said, you should pick this betting tip for a high bonus.
