Melbourne Renegades:

The defending champions are having a tough time this season. They have played 3 matches and have lost all the 3 games and are currently at the bottom of the points table. In the last match, batting first, Renegades lost the early wicket of Sam Harper for a duck in the 1st over. But Aaron Finch’s 50 and Shaun Marsh’s 37 runs steadied the innings. But after the dismissal of both set batsmen, Renegades innings fell like a pile of cards. They lost 7 wickets for just 39 runs in the end and scored a total of 147 runs.

With 147 runs to defend, it was a tough task for the bowlers ahead. Tom Cooper in the 3rd over of the innings picked up 2 wickets in 2 deliveries and looked like they were back into the game, but the opposition played well, and Renegades lost the match by seven wickets. Tom Cooper picked up 2 wickets, and Cameron Boyce picked up one wicket. No other bowler was able to pick up wickets. They would be very desperate to win the next match against the Adelaide Strikers.

Adelaide Strikers:

Strikers are having a great time this season as they are unbeaten till now and currently at the 2nd position on the points table. In the last match, batting first Strikers started at an excellent run rate, but they lost three quick wickets within the power play and looked in trouble, but Alex Carey 45 runs and Jonathan Wells 68* runs helped the Strikers post the total of 174 runs.

The bowlers did an excellent job of picking early wickets in the match and did not let the opponents score freely. But at one point, Maxwell looked dangerous and was smashing the bowlers. But Peter Siddle bowled very well in that match and picked up the wicket of Maxwell and also defended 12 runs in the final over. Strikers won the game by four runs. Peter Siddle picked up 3 wickets and Wes Agar, Rashid Khan, Cameron Valente picked up 1 wicket each. They would want to continue their winning momentum and try to win the match against the Melbourne Renegades.
