BBL 2021/22, Match 30: SIX vs REN Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update

Preview:

Sydney Sixers will lock horns with Melbourne Renegades in the 30^th match of the BBL 2021/22 on Saturday. Sydney Sixers are in an extraordinary run of form in this tournament. They have won 6 of their 7 matches played and occupy the top spot in the standings with 21 points. They had the last laugh in their previous game against Brisbane Heat where they narrowly won the match in the final ball. Josh Philippe hasn’t scored big runs in the last three matches which is a worrying sign for them.

Melbourne Renegades’ poor run of form continues in this tournament as they lost 5 consecutive matches in a row and are still placed at the bottom of the standings with 5 points. Batters should take responsibility and play accordingly. They are still struggling to find the right combination and are hopeful of doing well in this match. Nic Maddinson has been called up for the Australian Test squad and will miss this match.

Match Details:

Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades, Match 30

Venue: International Sports Stadium, Coffs Harbour

Date & Time: January 1st, at 2:00 PM IST and 7:30 PM Local Time

Preview:

Auckland Aces will face Wellington Firebirds in the 7^th match of the Ford Trophy 2021/22 on Saturday. Auckland will be playing their first match of the tournament. They are doing extremely well in the Super Smash 2021/22, having won 3 of their 5 matches played. They didn’t have the greatest of tournaments last year where they finished 5^th in the standings with 18 points.

Wellington Firebirds, on the other hand, have made a strong statement with two consecutive wins over Otago by 95 runs and 13 runs. It’s always challenging for the players to shift their game from T20 cricket to 50 overs. It will be interesting how both teams approach this game.

Preview:

India U19 will take on Sri Lanka U19 in the final of the ACC U19 Asia Cup 2021/22 on Friday. Despite losing against Pakistan U19 in the league fixture, India U19 put up impressive performances thereafter and reached the finals for the eighth time. They defeated Bangladesh U19 in the semi-final by a massive margin of 103 runs and are the sheer favorites to win this tournament.

Sri Lanka U19 wrapped an improbable win over Pakistan U19 by 22 runs to reach the finals for the fifth time. The bowlers deserve a lot of credit for successfully defending the target of 147 runs. They are a good bowling side and can give tough competition for the in-form Indian side.

Match Details:

Venue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai

Date & Time: 31st December, at 11:00 AM IST & 9:30 AM Local Time

Pitch Report:

Both sides will be playing for the first time in this magnificent venue. The boundaries are quite big and the batters need a lot of firepower to hit sixes. Strike rotation will be the key here. Anything more than 240 is a good score on this wicket.

Preview:

New Zealand will host Bangladesh in a 2-match Test series which will kick off from 1^st of January 2022. New Zealand are always a formidable side when they play at home. Skipper Kane Williamson will miss this series and Tom Latham will lead the side in his absence. Ajaz Patel, who took all 10 wickets against India in the first innings of the second Test has been surprisingly left out. This series will be special for another reason, as veteran batter Ross Taylor will play his last Test series.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, haven’t been up to the mark when it comes to Test cricket. They recently lost the Test series against Pakistan 0-2. There is a massive responsibility on the shoulders of skipper Mominul Haque who has a lot to prove. Going with the team balance, New Zealand will have an upper hand and start as favourites.

Match Details:

New Zealand vs Bangladesh, 1st Test

Venue: Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui

Date & Time: January 1st-5th, at 3:30 AM IST and 11:00 AM Local Time

Live Streaming: Amazon Prime Video

Pitch Report:

The new ball will talk a lot in the first hour of play and later the wicket will get flat and the runs will come automatically. The team batting first will have more chances of winning this game.
