Melbourne Renegades Form

The Melbourne Renegades have won two and lost two of their four matches this season. They are down in fifth place on the BBL table.

In their last match, the Renegades lost by eight runs to the Sydney Thunder in Sydney. The Thunder batted first, scoring 156 runs on a pitch that offered the bowlers some assistance.

Despite making a decent start in the chase, reaching 34 without loss, the Renegades lost consistent wickets throughout. Five players were dismissed for less than 10 while Laurie Evans top scored with 40 runs from 26 balls.

The Renegades have a decent bowling side, but they are struggling with the bat. Tim Seifert has been relatively good this season, but few others have stood out.

Adelaide Strikers Form

The Adelaide Strikers are in trouble this season with just one win from five fixtures. They are second from bottom and will be desperate to get a win in this fixture.

Run scoring has been an issue for the Strikers and they’ve changed their batting lineup for almost every game in search of some form. Last time out they batted first against the Perth Scorchers and could only reach 142 in 20 overs.

That was a good score considering they were 58/8 after 10 overs before Brendan Doggett (47) and Cameron Boyce (29) got them to something respectable.

It was, however, never enough as the Scorchers chased the score down inside 15 overs for a comfortable seven-wicket win.

The Strikers are trying different things but none of it is seemingly working. Six of the top eight batsmen were dismissed for eight or less int eh last game. They are in desperate need on D’Arcy Short, Chris Lynn and Ollie Pope to get among the runs.

Verdict

Melbourne Renegades v Adelaide Strikers - T20

I'm backing the Renegades to win with Tim Seifert to top score.
