Melbourne Renegades vs Sydney Sixers prediction
Sydney Sixers and their two-headed monster have been nothing short of excellent so far in this year's WBBL. Ashleigh Gardner and her Australian international teammate Ellyse Perry have combined to rack up 428 runs so far and, at the time of writing, sit as the top two run scorers in the entire competition.
The Sixers are yet to be beaten this season, collecting eight points from a possible eight, and only Perth Scorchers' superior net run rate is keeping them off the top of the WBBL table.
However, Melbourne Renegades come into this match in good form themselves after back-to-back victories and cannot be underestimated, but they haven't yet proved themselves against an opponent of the Sixers' class. In the end, the form and firepower of Gardner and Perry are expected to win out.
