Preview:
Melbourne Renegades will square off with Sydney Sixers in the 45th match of the BBL 2021/22 on Tuesday. Melbourne Renegades are heading into this match after a massive defeat over Sydney Thunder by 129 runs. They had made steady progress in the second half of the tournament, but a huge loss in their previous game has affected their momentum.
