Will the Sixers return to their best in the REN vs SIX BBL encounter?
The Sixers will start as favourites for this game, considering their better form and depth shown in the competition thus far. The game being played at the neutral venue is expected to only further highlight the difference between the two sides. Expect the Sixers to come out triumphant against the Renegades, who suffered a heavy loss in their last game against Sydney Thunder.
1. Josh Philippe (10 credits) – Philippe is Sixers’ top-scorer of the BBL 2021-22 so far. The wicketkeeper-batter has made 327 runs from his 10 innings at a strike-rate of 147.29 while averaging 40.87.
2. Dan Christian (9 credits) – Christian is another straightforward captaincy choice from Sixers’ camp. The allrounder made a quickfire 35 not out in the last game’s defeat to Scorchers, having struck a fighting 73 against the same opposition in their previous clash. He is in fine form with the bat.
3. Kane Richardson (9.5 credits) – One of Renegades’ shining lights, Richardson has bagged 16 wickets in the BBL 2021-22 so far, making him Renegades’ highest wicket-taker. He has piled on his tournament tally while giving 8.48 runs per over.
1. Hayden Kerr (8.5 credits) – Kerr has been a rewarding budget pick throughout the competition. He has taken 16 wickets from his 10 outings for Sixers while going for only 7.04 runs per over.
2. Zahir Khan (8.5 credits) – the Afghanistan wristspinner is only second to Richardson in terms of wickets for Renegades, with 11 scalps for the season at an economy rate of 8.55.
3. Ben Dwarshuis (8.5 credits) – the left-arm pacer has taken seven wickets from his seven outings for Sixers with an economy rate of 8.80.
