SYS vs MLR Live Prediction

2024-12-16 15:43:23

Sydney Sixers to Score Over 78.5 Runs in 10 Overs @ 1.80 (Stake.bet)

The Sixers after 3 overs are 22/1, currently scoring at 7-7.5 runs per over. James Vince has done most of the scoring piercing the gaps, while Jack Edwards is rotating the strike with ease. We predict the Sixers to score over 78.5 runs at the half way mark of the run chase.

2024-12-16 14:48:00

Melbourne Renegades to Score Over 171.5 Runs in 20 Overs @ 1.85 (Stake.bet)

The Renegades at the end of 13 overs have scored 114/5. Siefert is still out in the middle, while Sutherland who is just out in the middle has been timing it well, we back the Renegades to post a good total and score over 171.5 runs in 20 overs.

2024-12-16 14:05:54

Melbourne Renegades to Score Over 85.5 Runs in 10 Overs @ 1.85 (Stake.bet)

The Renegades are off to a good start scoring 44 runs in the first 4 overs. Siefert and Brown are striking it well and the conditions are in favour of the batters. We predict the Renegades score to be over 85.5 runs in 10 overs.

Will this be the year when Melbourne Renegades finally start producing the goods in the Big Bash League and get involved at the top of the division instead of playing out their usual fun at the bottom of the pile?

If it is to be a season when things are turned on their head, then that may mean Sydney Sixers will have to get used to a few more defeats than usualk after they have been well in the mix at the 'business end' of the BBL more often than not of late.

The BBL gets underway in Perth as the Scorchers take on Melbourne Stars on Sunday but this match between Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Renegades will be an excellent marker of what both sides are capable of and what we can expect at the SCG.

Sydney Sixers Preview

Sydney Sixers' success over recent seasons has been built on the strength of their top order batting and with a top three of James Vince, Daniel Hughes and Josh Philippe, that could well be an area where they are too hot to handle once again this season.

That's not to say that they don't have additional batting depth with Moises Henriques, Kurtis Patterson, Jordan Silk and Hayden Kerr all capable of making match-winning innings.

With the ball, Jackson Bird has long been a top performer in the BBL and he, along with the skilful Ben Dwarshuis, are likely to be the opening pair for Sydney Sixers once again in this game.


SS Over/Under Betting Tips

James Vince Total 4's Over 2.5 2.10

Bet now

Vince has been in the best of form's this year scoring 1414 runs in 46 T20 matches, he is averaging 3.5 fours per game and at SCG he averages 2.73 fours per game and most often than not scores over 30 runs per game.

Daniel Hughes to Score Over 18.5 Runs 1.83

Bet now

The left hander has a had a phenomenal year in T20's where he has scored 799 runs in 21 matches, averaging 40 runs per game. At SCG in 28 matches, Hughes has scored 526 runs and against the Renegades he has scored 256 runs in 11 matches. Given his recent form and record at the SCG, we back Hughes to come good and score over 18.5 runs in today's match.

Sydney Sixers Predicted Playing XI:

James Vince, Daniel Hughes, Josh Philippe, Moises Henriques, Kurtis Patterson, Jordan Silk, Hayden Kerr, Ben Manenti, Todd Murphy, Ben Dwarshuis, Jackson Bird

Sydney Sixers Actual Playing XI:

Daniel Hughes, Jack Edwards, Jordan Silk, James Vince, Moises Henriques, Hayden Kerr, Sean Abbott, Josh Philippe, Joel Davies, Ben Dwarshuis, Todd Murphy

Melbourne Renegades Preview

If Jake Fraser-McGurk finds the middle of the bat early in this tournament then Melbourne Renegades could be in for a treat of a season but if he doesn't then there are serious questions about their batting ability for this year's competition. With the exception of the Australian international, and with Jacob Bethell on international duty with England, Melbourne Renegades will be looking to the likes of Laurie Evans to turn up and make a match winning innings in this game.

Bowling wise, Melbourne Renegades look a lot stronger. Adam Zampa remains one of the best T20 spin bowlers in the world and Tom Rogers has bowled plenty of special spells across his BBL career!


MR Over/Under Betting Tips

Jake Fraser McGurk to Score Over 19.5 Runs 1.83

Bet now

The dynamic right hander is known for scoring runs at a fast pace, last season he scored 257 runs in 8 matches, where his strike rate was 158.64. Against the Sixers he averages 22.3 runs per game, the surface at SCG suits his type of batting, where he can trust the bounce and swing through the line.

Melbourne Renegades Predicted Playing XI:

Josh Brown, Laurie Evans, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Tim Seifert (wk), Jonathan Wells, Mackenzie Harvery, Harry Dixon, Tom Rogers, Kane Richardson, Hassan Khan, Adam Zampa

Melbourne Renegades Actual Playing XI:

Thomas Rogers, Kane Richardson, Fergus O’Neill, Adam Zampa, Will Sutherland, Tim Seifert, Laurie Evans, Mackenzie Harvey, Jake Fraser McGurk, Josh Brown, Hassan Khan

Total Over/Under Betting Tips

Total Match Score Over 302.5 Runs 1.81

Bet now

Three out of the last five BBL matches played at the SCG, have seens scores in excess of over 302.5 runs, and the average total aggregate score per game last season was 304.2 runs. The surface at SCG offers a good batting track and we predict it to be a moderate scoring game and the total match score to be over 302.5 runs.

Toss: To Bowl

The SCG often offers something for the pace bowlers early on before flattening out and allowing the stroke makers to show off their skills. We predict the captains will want to bowl first.

Melbourne Renegades have been the whipping boys in the BBL for many years but we expect them to be more competitive this time around. That said, we expect Sydney Sixers to be too st4ong for them in this opening game.

We are backing Sydney Sixers to win!
