Melbourne Renegades

Predicted XI: Aaron Finch, Nic Maddinson, Sam Harper, Jake Fraser McGurk, Jonathan Wells, Andre Russell, Akeal Hosein, Will Sutherland, Tom Rogers, Kane Richardson, Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Regardless of beginning the event as one of many least fancied groups, the Renegades kicked off their marketing campaign in model with a 22-run victory over the Warmth in Cairns.

Nic Maddinson was the principle protagonist with the bat, putting 87 off 49 in an innings that showcased his long-known skills.

After setting 166, Akeal Hossein ensured the victory by taking 3-15 off his 4 overs. Whereas it’s early, it seems as if Hossein with kind a powerful partnership with fellow spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman on this event.

Andre Russell additionally put in a rounded efficiency to justify his recruitment, hitting 35 earlier than taking the large wicket of Sam Billings.

Given their Spherical 1 success, the Renegades will possible rock an analogous line-up for sport two.

 

Sydney Thunder

Predicted XI: Alex Hales, Matthew Gilkes, Rilee Rossouw, Jason Sangha, Alex Ross, Daniel Sams, Oliver Davies, Chris Inexperienced, Gurinder Sandhu, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Brendan Doggett

It’s arduous to provide you with phrases to explain what occurred to the Thunder on Friday night time.

Bundled out for a file low of 15 in slightly below six overs, it was a demolition that none anticipated.

So, how a lot can we learn into such a consequence? It’s arduous to inform, particularly because the Thunder received their first sport.

I’m keen to mark the 124-run loss as ‘a type of days’ and count on a giant response from Jason Sangha and co towards the Renegades.

Wanting on the optimistic aspect of issues, no less than Sydney have been good with the ball – they nonetheless haven’t conceded a rating over 140, as Fazalhaq Farooqi and Gurinder Sandhu have each taken wickets aplenty.

 

Match Prediction

Undoubtedly, many punters might be chilly on the Thunder after their most up-to-date displaying. Nonetheless, I don’t see any motive for panic.

Sydney nonetheless have a dynamic squad stuffed with match winners, though their spin shares go away somewhat to be desired.

Talking of spinners, the Renegades have these in spades, and can relish taking part in at residence on a often spin pleasant wicket.

Whereas I count on the Thunder to provide an honest account of themselves on Sunday, I’m truly tipping back-to-back wins for the Renegades right here.

 

Identical Recreation Multi

Farooqi has been a growth recruit to this point, with 5 wickets to his title after two video games. Batsmen usually take time to adapt to a brand new face within the league, so I can see the short taking lots extra poles within the quick time period.

Maddinson was in magical contact up at Cazalys Stadium, timing the ball effortlessly. Whereas he is usually a hit-or-miss operator, contemplating his kind I count on to see no less than one boundary off Maddinson’s bat this Sunday.

As beforehand talked about, Marvel Stadium tends to favour the spinners over quicks. Hossein, who took three wickets in his first outing, is about to revenue from that development.
