Option 2:
Match Prediction
Sixers were convincing in their victory over the Strikers and that’s the only team they have got an opportunity to play. As mentioned earlier, the Renegades are yet to be a part of a completed match and their last two matches have been abandoned without a ball being bowled. On paper, the Sydney-based side have a better chance.
