SIX vs REN Prediction, Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report and Injury Update – BBL 2020-21, Match 6

Match Details:

The 6th match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2020-21 will be played between Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Renegades at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart.

The match is scheduled to start at 01:45 PM IST (07:15 PM Local). It will be live on Sony Ten Network and can be streamed live on Sony LIV.

Preview

Defending champions Sydney Sixers are taking on the Melbourne Renegades in the sixth fixture of the BBL 10. The Sixers are coming off a defeat against the Hobart Hurricanes in the opening game of the season. They generally failed to restrict the Hurricanes after a strong start and further failed to chase down the total. James Vince showed some form with the bat which is a very good sign for them. Josh Philippe will be under immense pressure as they will be without their captain Moises Henriques up the order.

Ben Dwarshuis will be leading the attack once again in the absence of their big pace attack. However, they need to decide the batting order according to the situation as they possess two huge big hitters like Dan Christian and Carlos Brathwaite who can turn the game from anywhere. 

On the other side, Melbourne Renegades registered a big win against the Scorchers on Saturday. Their bowling has been top-notch and successfully restricted the opposition within 130 only. However, their Batting order depends a lot on the top three which makes Aaron Finch and Shaun Marsh play a bit under pressure. Otherwise, they possess a good balance in their squad and look right up there for the second win in a row in Hobart.
