In the batting department, the side will be relying on the likes of Laurie Evans, Mackenzie Harvey, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Tim Seifert, Josh Brown and Jacob Bethell to deliver timely breakthroughs.
In the previous match, Laurie Evans played well for Renegades and finished the innings with the top-score of 40 runs off 26 balls with the help of four sixes.Besides Laurie Evans, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Josh Brown and Thomas Rogers produced scores of 26, 22 and 23* respectively.
In the bowling department, the side will be relying on the likes of Kane Richardson, Thomas Rogers, Fergus O’Neill, Will Sutherland and Adam Zampa to deliver timely breakthroughs.
In the previous match, Kane Richardson, Tom Rogers and Adam Zampa bowled well for Renegades and claimed one wicket each.
Rogers, with 8 wickets in 4 matches, leads the wicket-taking charts for the Renegades this season. He has been the top bowler for Melbourne in three of the four matches. Bowling most of his overs in the death overs, and with his variations in pace and length, Rogers has been highly effective. In his previous match at the Docklands earlier in the season, he finished with figures of 3/22 and was named the best bowler. Another wicket-taking spell from Rogers is expected against the Strikers.
Siefert has top-scored in two of the four matches the Renegades have played this season. Batting at number three, he will likely face more balls than other batters lower in the order. He has been in good scoring form, having scored 129 runs, making him the only batter to surpass 100 runs this season.
After three good innings, Siefert had a rare failure against the Scorchers where he scored 9 runs. So far in four matches he has amassed 129 runs, out of which in three matches he has scored over 25 runs. The last time he played at the Docklands Stadium, Siefert scored 28 runs.

In the batting department, bowling all-rounder Jamie Overton is leading the charts with 127 runs in five innings at an average of 127. Veteran batter D’Arcy Short is in decent form this season and accumulated 124 runs at a strike rate of 144.18.
In the bowling department, leg-spinner Lloyd Pope is leading the charts with 7 wickets at an outstanding average of 21.00. He is well-supported by pacer Jamie Overton who has seven wickets to his name with economy-rate of 8.94.
The tall right arm fast bowler has been the standout bowler for the Strikers in recent games, he has taken 7 wickets in 5 matches. Highly effective in the powerplay overs and the surface at Docklands suits his kind of bowling where he will get additional bounce and seam movement. We back him to pick up more wickets than other bowlers for the Strikers and end up as the top bowler for his team.
Lynn despite getting off to good starts has failed to convert them into big ones. But he is one batter when he gets going can be unstoppable. At the Docklands Stadium, Lynn has scored 212 runs in 10 matches and against the Renegades, his number are just top notch (506 runs in 16 matches). We are taking a punt on Lynn to have a blast with the bat and top score for the Strikers.
The left hander has smashed at least one six in three of the four matches played this season and averages 1.25 sixes per match. We back him to clear the rope and hit over 0.5 sixes against the Renegades.
Darcy Short has been on a role this BBL season scoring 22, 41, 1 & 60 runs in the four matches played. So far the southpaw has amassed 127 runs in 4 matches. At Docklands Stadium Short averages 23 runs per match, while against the Renegades he has scored 273 runs in 11 matches, averaging 25 runs per innings.

The average first innings at Docklands Stadium is around 145 runs. The weather forecast for the game is going to be sunny with light winds.
Docklands Stadium, Melbourne is going to host the 20th match of the Big Bash League 2024-25 played between Melbourne Renegades and Adelaide Strikers.
The Strikers have won just 1 of the 4 coin tosses this season, while the Renegades are 3-1 this season in coin tosses. We predict the luck to be in favour of the home team and back them to win the coin toss.
The pitch at Docklands Stadium is a balanced one, where batters have found it a bit hard to score boundaries due to the size of the ground and the extra tinge of grass always aid the fast bowlers. The last game played at this venue this season was a low scoring affair where the total match score was 287 runs. We predict a similar sort of game with the scores around 145-155 runs.
Docklands Stadium, Melbourne has been a great venue for sides batting second. Last year, all of the matches in Big Bash League played at Docklands were won by chasing sides.
On paper at least, despite suffering a defeat in the previous outing, Renegades look like a more solid team comprised of experienced players who knows how to deal with the pressure of performing in the big matches, compared to Adelaide Strikers
Therefore, the prediction is for the Renegades to secure their third win in the competition.
