ADS vs MER Prediction, 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update –WBBL 2020, Match 47

Match Details:

The 47th match of the WBBL 2020 will be played between Adelaide Strikers Women and Melbourne Renegades Women at the Showground Stadium, Sydney.

Preview:

The points table of Women’s Big Bash League cannot possibly be more exciting than it already is. The race to semi-finals is reaching its last lap, where only 2 points separate 5 teams. Amongst those 5 teams is Adelaide Strikers, who are currently placed at the 5th position. With 5 wins and as many defeats, they have 11 points in their account. But given that their Net Run Rate is better than the team ahead of them, Perth Scorchers, they can easily get into top 4 with a win.

For Melbourne Renegades, however, it is not as exciting as their opposition. They have won only 2 of their 11 games. To qualify, they will need to pull off what can be considered as the mother of all miracles. Their journey is as good as over, and now they are fighting solely for their pride.
