Australia T20 League Match Prediction: Melbourne Renegades vs Sydney Sixers

The 20th match of the on-going Australia T20 League will witness another exciting encounter between Melbourne Renegades and Sydney Sixers. The match will be played at the Docklands Stadium, Melbourne. The night game will start on 1:40 PM IST. It will be a crucial match for Renegades as the team is still searching for their first win of the tournament. Sydney Sixers, on the other hand, are coming into this game with a thrilling win against rivals Sydney Thunder in the Super Over decider.

Melbourne Renegades’ performance in this year’s tournament has been dismal. They have lost all four of their matches played so far and are standing at the bottom of the points table. The defending champions have struggled with both, bat and ball. In their previous match, Renegades were looking good with the chase of 156, but a batting collapse saw the reeling from 88/2 to 100/6.

Shaun Marsh and Aaron Finch are among the leading run-scorers in this tournament right now, but they failed to finish it off. In the bowling department, Kane Richardson has shown his full potential but the speedster is not getting any support from the other bowlers. Aaron Finch desperately need others to step up now if they want to defend their title successfully.

Sydney Sixers have won their last two matches and are looking pretty good so far in the tournament. Their last win came against the Thunders in a thrilling Super Over where English all-rounder Tom Curran shined with the bat and ball. Tom Curran has played a key role in winning three of their opening five games. The Englishman will again be on the spotlight as Sixers will look to clinch their third consecutive win.
