Melbourne Renegades will welcome Sydney Sixers in the 21st game of the Big Bash League at Simonds Stadium, Geelong. The third and fourth-placed teams on the BBL table are going up against each other. Two points will be very beneficial to both of them on their quest towards the top spot. Who will win?

The Renegades are coming on the back of a two-game losing run. They won the initial three games of the campaign but were defeated in the last two games. The renegades crumbled under some impressive bowling by the Sixers and were all out for 115 runs. Sydney has not won any game away from home this season and Melbourne can take this opportunity not only to take their revenge but also to get back on to the winning ways.

Melbourne Renegades vs Sydney Sixers expert tips

The pitch is bowler friendly and the batters will have a hard time scoring on this ground. Expect a low-scoring total from both sides. The general consensus will be to win the toss and bat first as the pitch will deteriorate as the game progresses. We expect Sydney to register their first away win of the campaign.
