Big Bash League 2022-23, Match 21, Melbourne Renegades vs Sydney Sixers: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details
The Melbourne Renegades and Sydney Sixers are set to face each other in Match No. 21 of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2022-23 on Friday, December 30. The match will take place at the Simonds Stadium in Geelong.
The Renegades, captained by Nic Maddinson, are currently third in the points table with a decent net run rate of -0.110. Going into their next match, the Renegades have every chance of toppling Perth Scorchers to the top of the points table with eight points.
The Sixers, led by Moises Henriques, on the other hand, are precariously placed in the middle of the points table. However, like the Renegades, they have the chance of displacing the Scorchers from the top if they beat the Renegades in their upcoming match.
The Sixers will be pretty high on confidence after beating the Renegades by 34 runs in their previous match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. After being put in to bat first, the Sixers scored 149 for the loss of eight wickets after Josh Philippe's 40-ball knock of 55.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman was the pick of the bowlers for the Renegades as he picked up three wickets. Left-arm fast bowler Ben Dwarshuis picked up a four-wicket haul to make sure that the Renegades scored only 115 in their run-chase in 19 overs.
