Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Renegades Preview
The Renegades continue to flounder at the bottom of the Big Bash table and it is very difficult to imagine them winning this game against the fourth-placed Strikers.
While Adelaide has hardly been the model of consistency this season, they did look very sharp in their 59-run victory over this same Melbourne outfit on Tuesday.
The Adelaide Oval is always a tough game for any visiting team, especially one that ranks dead last in the league in runs scored.
The Strikers have now won three straight against the ‘Gades, so really, this one isn’t worth overthinking.
