REN vs SIX Dream11 match top picks
Top Wicketkeeper Pick
Josh Philippe (5 matches, 131 runs, Average: 26.20)
Josh Philippe has been in decent form of late, scoring 131 runs in five matches. He comes into the game on the back of a fifty against the Renegades themselves. With two scores of 40 or more in his last three BBL matches and given his counterpart Peter Handscomb's batting position of six, Philippe stands out as the top wicketkeeper pick in your REN vs SIX Dream11 prediction team.
Top Batter Pick
Nic Maddinson (5 matches, 129 runs, Average: 25.75)
Nic Maddinson has 129 runs in five BBL matches this season. Although Maddinson has not scored many runs in the last few games, he is still striking at 141.76 at the top of the order. With Russell not being available for the Renegades, Maddinson will also take up the sixth bowler's role, making him a valuable selection in your REN vs SIX Dream11 prediction team.
Top All-rounder Pick
Sean Abbott (5 matches, 9 wickets, Average: 18.55)
Sean Abbott has impressed with the ball for the Sixers, picking up nine wickets in five matches this season. He is averaging 18.55 with the ball and also had a good outing against the Renegades earlier in the week with figures of 2/17 in four overs. Given Abbott's experience and form, he is a must-have in your REN vs SIX Dream11 prediction team.
Top Bowler Pick
Tom Rogers (5 matches, 8 wickets, Average: 17.25)
Tom Rogers has done well for the Renegades this season with eight wickets in five matches. Although he went wicketless in the previous game, Rogers is averaging just 17.25 with the ball this season. He has a BBL bowling strike rate of 17.57, holding him in good stead. Given the conditions on offer, Rogers should be a fine addition to your REN vs SIX Dream11 prediction team.
REN vs SIX match captain and vice-captain choices
James Vince
James Vince has 87 runs in five matches, averaging only 21.75 with the bat. The Englishman has gotten off to starts but has not been able to convert them into big ones. With Vince being due for a big score in the BBL, he could be a viable captaincy pick in your REN vs SIX Dream11 prediction team.
Shaun Marsh
Shaun Marsh played his first BBL match of the season earlier in the week, scoring 28 runs off 25 balls against the Sixers. Like Vince, Marsh is an experienced campaigner with 2426 runs in 69 matches in the BBL. Given his experience and ability to score big runs, Marsh could be a fine selection as captain or vice-captain in your REN vs SIX Dream11 prediction team.
