Pitch report

The Docklands surface is generally good for batting. The ball comes nicely onto the bat and it’s possible for the batsmen to hit through the line. So it should be a high scoring game.

Head to Head

Total games played – 6 | Adelaide Strikers won – 3 | Melbourne Renegades won – 3

Playing combination

Melbourne Renegades

The Renegades have replaced Mohammad Nabi with the hard hitting Caribbean Kieron Pollard who is an absolute superstar in T20 cricket as he possess the capability of changing the course of the game single-handedly with the bat. He will probably be slotted into the XI straightaway and along with his compatriot Dwayne Bravo will discharge the finishing duties down the order for the Renegades. Also with Cameron White coming back, Matthew Short is likely to sit out.

Predicted XI: Tim Ludeman (wk), Marcus Harris, Cameron White (C), Dwayne Bravo, Tom Cooper, Kieron Pollard, Brad Hodge, Jack Wildermuth, Kane Richardson, Chris Tremain, Brad Hogg

Adelaide Strikers

The good news for the Strikers is that their captain Travis Head has returned to the side and so has Alex Carey who recently made his debut in ODI cricket for the Australian team and these two will insert a lot of power in the Strikers’ batting. Carey will want to build on that sensational hundred that he hit against the Hurricanes, while Head will have to control the Strikers’ innings batting at no. 3.

Predicted XI: Alex Carey (wk), Jake Weatherald, Travis Head (C), Colin Ingram, Jonathan Wells, Jake Lehmann, Michael Neser, Rashid Khan, Peter Siddle, Ben Laughlin, Billy Stanlake
