MLR vs SDT Dream11 Team Prediction of BBL: Preview | Jason Sangha Returns
Hello and Welcome to our preview for Melbourne Renegades vs Sydney Thunder match. We are covering MLR vs SDT Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the Big Bash League 2018-19 match. The match is to be played at Sydney Showground Stadium.
Melbourne Renegades are third on the points table with five wins and five losses. They lost their last match to Melbourne Stars by 6 wickets. Batting first, Tom Cooper and Nabi were the only positives scoring 24 and 28 runs respectively to lead the team to a low total of 121. Kane Richardson was at his lethal best taking two scalps and was supported by Nabi but could not save the low total. They will hope to give a tough challenge to Sydney Thunder.
Sydney Thunder is fourth on the points table with four wins and four losses. Their last match against Brisbane Heat was abandoned due to floodlight failure. Skipper Watson was at his attacking best scoring a brilliant century to lead the team to a total of 186. Chris Jordan and Gurinder Sandhu along with Jonathan Cook were perfect in the defense restricting Heat at 10 runs in 3 overs on the loss of two wickets but unluckily they were robbed of two points due to floodlight failure and match was abandoned. They will hope to capitalize on the positives from the last encounter and come all guns blazing tomorrow.
A good match can be expected between both teams.
