Table toppers Adelaide Strikers (ADS) travel to Docklands to face Melbourne Renegades (MLR). Strikers have qualified to the semi-finals, while Renegades are looking to give an upset and create a chance to make it to the semis.
After playing 7 matches ADS have Won 5 Lost 1 and No Result 1. MLR have 3 Wins and 4 Losses out of 7.
If you just have a look at plain numbers, average score by Strikers stand at 143 per match. If you consider the rate at which they are striking, it is above 160. Simmons, Ludeman, Dean, Head at the Top and Middle orders have been providing the required fireworks consistently. Botha, Laughlin, and Zampa are all economical. Even the veteran Tait not leaking runs is a great surprise to me. All these factors make Strikers the team to beat.
Renegades must to win this match to have any chance of making to the next stage of the Big Bash League. But they are largely inconsistent with both bat and ball. Their 3 wins have come against the 3 teams placed below them in the points table. This clearly indicates why are they in the middle of the table. They lost Dwayne Bravo to International duties. Now their opener Finch also called for the Series against India. This has made them lose a top order spot (Finch), middle order spot and a bowling spot (As Bravo is an all-rounder). With Callum Ferguson in a prolonged poor form; Wade, Doolan and Stokes being inconsistent they have a very steep mountain to climb.
Docklands has been a low scoring venue. Batting is generally tough, chasing is a bit more tough. 160+ scores are equivalent to 180+ scores. The factors in Renegades favor is that they have a good bowling line up and all-rounder Shakib-Al-Hasan's inclusion. But Shakib not producing enough from his bat is a worry.
