Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Renegades Prediction: Expect some heavy hitting and a huge total

Adelaide Strikers will welcome Melbourne Renegades in the 36th game of the Big Bash League at Adelaide Oval. Both teams won their last game and will be looking to continue the momentum. Who will win? 

The strikers have been going up and down with their form throughout the season. They seem to have peaked at just the right time as the team prepares for the business end of the season. The Strikers are sitting in fifth place in the table with four wins in eight games. They are coming off a seven-wicket win against Hurricanes, chasing down 230 runs with seven wickets in hand. The star of the show and captain Matt Short will be looking for a similar performance from the team in these final league matches.

The Renegades have been consistent with their season with five wins in nine games. They are sitting in third place with ten points. The Renegades are on a two-game winning run winning against the Stars and Hurricanes in the last games. Aaron Finch is leading the team from the front with 236 runs with a strike rate of 112. With no Rashid Khan in Striker's rank, Renegades can have some peace of mind.

Adelaide pitch saw around 460 runs in 40 overs the last time around. Expect a batsman-friendly pitch and bowlers having a hard time. Winning the toss and bowling first will be the way forward for the teams. We expect a great game and Strikers to come on top after their outstanding win.
