REN vs SIX Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: BBL 2022/23 Match 21 | MR vs SS Dream11 Prediction Today | Geelong Pitch Report
Just like Brisbane Heat and Sydney Thunder yesterday, Melbourne Renegades and Sydney Sixers will meet again less than 48 hours later.
For the second straight match, the Renegades made a mess of a gettable score, bowled out for 115 in pursuit of 150 against the Sixers after failing to chase 123 against the Hurricanes on Christmas Eve. So, it’s clear where the room for improvement is.
Despite three straight wins, the Sixers require improvement of their own. They lost 7/69 in the final ten overs of their batting innings on Wednesday, with the form of the likes of Dan Christian in the spotlight. However, if they keep winning with key contributions along the way, they can continue to sneak up the table while working towards their best form later in BBL 12.
Match Details:
- Location: GMHBA Stadium, Geelong
- Time: 6:30pm (local), 1:00pm (IST).
