THE LOWDOWN

SYDNEY THUNDER

• Although it would take a huge swing in net-run-rate, Sydney Thunder do have the opportunity here to beat Melbourne Renegades and potentially avoid the embarrassment of picking up the 2023-24 BBL wooden spoon.
• To do so though, it would mean the Thunder snapping a current four-match losing streak and winning a game for the first time since all the way back on December 23^rd against another Melbourne team in the Stars.

MELBOURNE RENEGADES

• Melbourne Renegades gave their supporters and themselves a boost to end what has been a frustrating campaign by defeating Melbourne Stars in Aaron Finch’s final game as a Renegade, giving them inter-city bragging rights and blowing the Stars’ play-off hopes.
• Another win in this final match would ensure they don’t finish rock-bottom of the table and it least see them come out of the competition with momentum to potentially take into next season.

THE PREDICTION

Although they are playing away from home, Melbourne Renegades are coming off the back of a victory which showed that they are not on autopilot despite having nothing to play for in terms of play-off qualification. They have a young team who want to finish as best they can and when considering just how bad Sydney Thunder are playing from a bowling perspective in particular, taking just 14 wickets across their last four games, you’d expect the Renegades to overcome them here.

BETTING TIP: MELBOURNE RENEGADES TO WIN
