Melbourne Renegades and Adelaide Strikers will play in the 3rd match of the Big Bash League 2021-22 at Docklands Stadium, Melbourne. We will cover REN vs STR Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing 11, and Fantasy Cricket Tips.
Melbourne Renegades:
Melbourne Renegades have been out of form for the past two seasons as they have finished at the eighth position consecutively.
The right-arm fast bowler and leading wicket-taker of the team, Kane Richardson, will be captaining the team in the first match. Aaron Finch and Sam Harper are likely to open the innings for Renegades. The middle-order consists of Mackenzie Harvey, Fraser-McGurk, and the experienced Mohammad Nabi.
Renegades have a packed pace attack in Kane Richardson, Josh Lalor, Zak Evans, and James Pattinson. They have a couple of quality spinners like Nabi and Zahir Khan. Melbourne Renegades appear to be a strong team on the paper, but all the players need to contribute equally well to improve their performance.
Adelaide Strikers:
Adelaide Strikers had a lot of ups and downs so far in the history of BBL, and they have won the title once and would be hoping to repeat the same in this season.
Jake Weatherald and R Gibson are likely to be the opening pair of the team. H Neelson, Jon Wells and Matthew Short will be the crucial players in the middle-orders.
There are some brilliant fast bowlers like Peter Siddle, Daniel Worrall, and Wes Agar. They also have brilliant spinner like Rashid Khan, who could turn the match with their spells.
Adelaide Strikers might be missing some big names, but they still have a lot of good players in their team.
