STR vs REN BBL 2021-22 Match Preview:
Melbourne Renegades will lock horns with Adelaide Strikers in the 6th match of the Big Bash League 2021-22, at Adelaide Oval, Adelaide on Thursday.
The Renegades had a great start to the tournament as they won an edge-of-the-seat thriller against the Strikers in their tournament-opener.
Batting first, the Renegades got of to a flying start, courtesy Sam Harper (28-ball 33) and Mackenzie Harvey (46-ball 56). Cameos from James Seymour (14-ball 23) and Mohammad Nabi (9-ball 12) helped the Renegades reach a defendable total of 154 runs.
Zahir Khan (3/24) and Will Sutherland (2/13) were the stars with the ball in hand. Reece Topley, Kane Richardson and James Pattinson each claimed a scalp and ensured timely breakthroughs for their side.
With nine runs needed off the last over, James Pattinson delivered and ensured that his team registered a two-run victory over the Strikers.
The Strikers, meanwhile, have had a rather disappointing start to the tournament, having lost a nail-biting encounter to the Renegades. The bowlers did a great job of restricting an explosive Renegades batting line-up to a modest 153-run total.
Peter Siddle was a touch more expensive but was also the highest wicket-taker as he claimed figures of 3/42. George Garton and Daniel Worrall scalped two wickets and ensured that the Renegades lost wickets regularly. Rashid Khan and Matthew Short claimed one wicket each.
Matthew Short (18-ball 29) and Jake Weatherald (17-ball 18) ensured that the Strikers were in a great position at the end of the powerplay. Harry Nielsen (30-ball 30) and Daniel Drew (20-ball 23) helped the Strikers remain on track to chase down a modest 154-run target. A brilliant last over from Pattinson denied the Strikers the win as they fell agonizingly short of the target.
The Strikers will be itching to exact revenge in the reverse fixture and claim their first victory of the tournament.

STR vs REN BBL 2021-22 Pitch Report:
The surface at the Adelaide Oval is a good cricketing surface. However, it is expected to assist the batters more than the bowlers.
The bowlers need to hit the back of a length consistently to extract the help on offer from the surface. The team that wins the toss would like to chase on this surface. The team that bats first would like to register a 150+ runs total.

Top Picks for STR vs REN BBL 2021-22 Dream11 Prediction and Fantasy Cricket Tips:
STR
Jake Weatherald was pretty unfortunate in the last game against Melbourne Renegades as he was dismissed by a stunning catch on 18 runs. He is a dangerous batter and a good pick for your fantasy teams.
Matthew Short is a good pick in the all-rounder’s category. He had a decent game against Melbourne Renegades where he scored 29 runs and even picked up a wicket as well.
Rashid Khan is going to be a top captaincy option. The Afghanistan leg-spinning superstar took 1/30 in the first game. He has been superb in the BBL and has returned with 73 wickets in 51 games. Moreover, he can be handy with the bat.
REN
Sam Harper got 33 with the bat in the last game. He was in top form with the bat last season and he was Melbourne Renegades’ leading run-getter. The wicket-keeper batter aggregated 351 runs at a strike-rate of 124.02.
Mackenzie Harvey was the top scorer for Renegades in the last match against Strikers. He scored a valuable 56 runs from 46 balls which includes 2 fours and 2 sixes.
Mohammad Nabi didn’t contribute much against Adelaide Strikers. He ended his innings after scoring 12 runs from 9 deliveries. He is a great asset for Renegades and is expected to deliver well in this match.
Zahir Khan was brilliant in Melbourne Renegades’ first game. The 22-year-old chinaman bowler picked up 3/24 and bowled his side to a win. In addition, he has a good record in T20 cricket.
Kane Richardson has been very consistent in BBL cricket over the years. The stand-in Melbourne Renegades skipper took 1/24 in the last game. He has taken 99 wickets which is the third-most in the history of the BBL. Thus, he can be backed as vice-captain.
