Big Bash League 2018-19: Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades – Report. Melbourne Renegades cruised to a comfortable win of seven wickets against Sydney Sixers in the 32nd match of the ongoing Big Bash League 2018-19.

1ST Innings:

It wasn’t the easiest pitch to bat on as there wasn’t consistent bounce in the pitch. Kane Richardson struck in the second over of the innings when he got the better of Daniel Hughes. Hughes could not even trouble the scorers after facing seven balls.

Sydney Sixers could not get themselves on the right path as they kept losing wickets at regular wickets. Sixers were tottering at 51-5 and it was always going to be a tough job for them to get back into the contest.

However, Tom Curran got his team to a respectable total of 115 runs. Curran scored a brisk knock of 44 runs off just 29 balls to give a ray of hope to the hosts. On the other hand, Kane Richardson was the pick of the Melbourne bowlers. The fast bowlers scalped three wickets and gave away only 26 runs in his four overs quota.

Furthermore, Mohammed Nabi also bowled with fire. Nabi scalped four wickets and bowled with accuracy. Moreover, he conceded only 25 runs in the allotted four overs.

However, Steve O’Keefe scalped two wickets and gave away 23 runs in three overs.
