The Renegades are now getting very close to a "must win" scenario and we are only a few weeks into the tournament. For context the side finishing 4th last year lost 7 out of their 14 games meaning that to stand a realistic chance of getting to the play-offs and defending their title the Renegades will likely need to win 70% of their remaining matches.

As in all professional sports victory is often achieved by percentages here and there and the Renegades have been in with a chance in all the matches they've played but continue to find new and exciting ways to lose them! Aaron Finch's run-out against the Strikers sparked a mini-collapse that even comical umpiring couldn't deliver them from but they will once again feel confident that the Marvel Stadium pitch will suit their bowling attack.

The last time these 2 met at this venue was in the semi-finals last year and it was a real run-fest. Based on what we saw here in the Renegades v Strikers match, I would be surprised if there were that many runs again. The pitch was slow and the outfield so lush that you could have fallen in love with an orangutan while fielding on the boundary. I think conditions will suit both sides change up bowlers and spinners so expect this to be a game where runs are at a premium.

Thats a tough one. Sixers are an overall balanced team while renegades need a win so not a strong belief but I can call on 329

That was looking like a good score to start with but this Docklands pitch slows up in the middle overs and once the ball gets soft it’s difficult to score

Only, if I knew these technical details. I admire your in-depth knowledge of cricket in all aspects and thank God you are not one of my score prediction competitors :D

321,
the prediction from Italy

Unless I'm sorely mistaken, I believe I may have secured another victory
