Pre-Match Analysis:
After suffering two easy losses in their first two matches, Sydney Sixers produced some fine performances on their home turf to gain close wins over Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Stars. Moises Henriques played the captain’s knock against Stars to hand 7 wickets for the Sixers in the final over of the match on Monday. Hayden Kerr continues to impress and it was with the ball this time, picking up 2 wickets. James Vince, Jordan Silk, and Kurtis Patterson made handy contributions with the bat. With 2 wins and 2 losses, they are in 5th spot in the standings with 4 points.
Melbourne Renegades should blame themselves for the loss against Hobart Hurricanes as they failed to chase 122 runs. On a tricky batting wicket, they crumbled in the run-chase losing the game in the end by 8 runs. With this loss, their unbeaten run came to an end. They will be going to miss the services of Andre Russell for the rest of the tournament and he will be replaced by New Zealand batter Martin Guptill. Akeal Hosein is picking wickets for fun at the moment having already claimed 10 scalps. They don’t want to repeat similar mistakes what they did in the last game. They occupy the 3rd spot in the standings with 6 points and a win here will take them to the pole position.
