Melbourne Renegades v Adelaide Strikers cricket preview & BBL tips

Melbourne Renegades vs Adelaide Strikers BBL13 preview

Match 18 of BBL13 will take place at Marvel Stadium, with the Melbourne Renegades hosting the Adelaide Strikers.

Despite coming up short in their last match against the Scorchers, the Melbourne Renegades were the first club to bowl their opposition out since match 10 of BBL 10, some 1093 days ago. The Renegades have lost all their matches so far this season, with three coming by very short margins. The addition of Shaun Marsh to the XI in place of the injured Aaron Finch appears to strengthen an already talented batting line-up that needs to record larger totals for their star bowlers to defend.

The Adelaide Strikers have not played in a week, with their last match being a loss to the Sydney Sixers. The only other match the Strikers have played and completed this season was against the Thunder, where captain Matt Short belted 82 runs from 41 balls, along with one wicket and two catches in the field, to win at the Adelaide Oval.

Melbourne Renegades vs Adelaide Strikers betting predictions

It’s the strong performance in their opening match of the season that has the Strikers as favourites in this match, combined with the Renegades’ poor run of form. The Renegades have lost their last five matches in a row, including two matches at Marvel Stadium. At -138.89 with top bookmakers, the Strikers are a great value bet to win their second game of the season.

Matt Short has been in devastating form at the top of the Strikers batting order since the start of BBL12. Averaging just over 37 with the bat in hand, Short has hit a century and four 50s, often putting Strikers in a winning position whenever he takes to the batting crease. Short has been the top runscorer in the last two BBL games for the Strikers, who have also had the top runscorer in 10 of their last 12 matches against the Renegades, and is a great option to lead the scoring again on Friday, with Dabble offering great value at+250.

Chris Lynn’s form against the Renegades has been solid in his last four outings, recording four scores over 30 runs. The former Brisbane star’s form is starting to heat up after smashing 37 from 17 balls against the Sixers in his last match. -125 for Lynn to score 25+ runs is great value for punters with the top cricket betting sites.
