Adelaide Strikers won the last head-to-head encounter between both teams in Big Bash League 2019-20 by 18 runs.

Adelaide Strikers:

Strikers after performing well in this beginning have lost three consecutive matches this season. They are currently at 4th position on the points table with 3 wins and 2 losses and a total of 7 points.

In the last match, batting first Strikers lost an early wicket of Phil Salt for 9 runs in the 2nd over. They lost the wicket of Mathew Short in the 5th over after scoring 7 runs. But at the other end, Weatherald continues to bat at a reasonable strike rate and scored 47 runs from 31 balls but got out in the 10th over. After that, Strikers lost wickets at regular intervals, but it was Alex Carey’s 32 runs that helped Strikers post a total of 135 runs before they got all out.

With 135 to defend, Strikers picked up 2 wickets in the 3rd over and maintained the pressure on the opposition without allowing them to score freely. Later in the innings, Rashid Khan’s hat-trick helped Strikers to come back strongly into the match. The opposition was 97 for 7 in the 15th over, and it appeared as if Strikers would win the game. 12 runs were needed from 12 balls for the opposition to win with 2 wickets remaining, and Josh Hazlewood scored 3 consecutive boundaries, and Strikers lost the match by 2 wickets. Rashid Khan bowled brilliantly and picked up 4 wickets for just 22 runs in his 4 overs. Michael Neser picked up 2 wickets, Peter Siddle and Harry Conway picked up 1 wicket each.

They would be hoping to win this match against Renegades and get back to their winning ways.

Melbourne Renegades:

The defending champions have lost all the matches that they have played so far this season. They are currently at the bottom of the points table. It looks like they are out of the competition for playoffs.

In the last match batting first, Renegades started their innings very well by adding 86 runs to the first wicket in 10 overs, but then Marcus Harris got out after scoring 42 runs from 32 balls. They continued the momentum of the good start they got, but in the 14th over, they lost the wicket of Shaun Marsh, who scored 63 runs from 43 balls. After that, Renegades lost wickets at regular intervals and managed to post a total of 168 runs in 20 overs.

With 168 runs to defend, Renegades got the wicket of dangerous batsman Marcus Stoinis in the 1st over, and they also controlled runs in the power play and picked up another wicket. But after Maxwell came to bat, everything changed, and Renegades could neither control the flow of runs, nor they could pick up wickets, and they faced loss by 6 wickets. Samit Patel, Richard Gleeson, and Cameron Boyce picked up 1 wicket each.

They would be desperate to win the match against Strikers and have at least a few wins to their name this season.
