Preview:
Victories over the Thunder and Heat in succession caused chaos last week in the standings, and another win on Saturday over the second-place Sixers would certainly make things interesting inside the top four.
Unsurprisingly, the ‘Gades have opened as underdogs on the road as they search for their third win of the season. Melbourne will have their hands full against a Sixers side that beat them by six wickets earlier in the month, but recent trends suggest the ‘Gades could be a good bet here.
Sydney has slipped into third on the ladder at time of publish after losing three of their last five games. Melbourne also holds a 1-0 record as the underdog against Sydney including three wins from their last five meetings.
You might be surprised to learn the Renegades currently lead the competition in runs scored. With that in mind, take the visitors at a handy price.
