BBL 14 Tips – Melbourne Renegades v Adelaide Strikers

Two teams in need of a win meet when the Renegades host the Strikers at Marvel Stadium.

The 1-4 Strikers face a must-win game to keep pace with the top four but their poor bowling contingent are unlikely to contain the powerful Renegades.

Despite boasting a strong batting lineup, the Adelaide team’s bowling depth has been exposed in the absence of Rashid Khan and the injured Fabian Allen. They’ve conceded three of the eight highest scores in BBL 14 so far.

The Renegades’ strong top six get a great opportunity to explode here. Although they are only 2-2, their four games have come against the current top four teams on the table. Expect them to be big movers in the back-half of the tournament.

This should be a high-scoring game, provided the Marvel curators have fixed the cow paddock conditions from last week. The Renegades’ superior bowling attack is likely to give them the edge.


Best Bet

Tim Seifort
Over 20.5 Runs

This is a generous line for the Kiwi, who has looked outstanding in three of his four knocks, with returns of 55, 37*, 28 before a 9 last time out. Back him to return to form.


Value Bet

Chris Lynn
50+ Runs

Lynn loves playing the Renegades, scoring 50s in four of his last five innings against them. With Matt Short an uncertain starter, he shapes as the danger man for the Strikers.
