Melbourne Renegades were up against a strong Sydney Sixers on Friday but still ran them close and they will be a better side with Quinton de Kock in the XI. However, they are up against one of the most consistent BBL teams of recent seasons and the current champions in this match.

Perth Scorchers are a fine T20 side and they look like being not too far from full strength for this game. They are targeting their sixth BBL title this season and most pundits expect to see them get off to a winning start in this match in Melbourne.

Most 6s for India in T20I
(16-20 overs)

53 - Virat Kohli (520b)
51 - Hardik Pandya (472b)
37 - MS Dhoni (667b)
36 - Suryakumar (206b)*
34 - Yuvraj Singh (213b)

It should be a close contest between the two sides as Hurricanes are also coming with a strong overall squad. And though they lost to the Sixers twice last year, this is their opening game of the season. We expect their key batters to play their natural game and that should put the Hurricanes in a close contest with the Sixers.
However, when it comes to picking a winner between the two, we will go with the Sixers as they’re already off to a winning start, have a better head-to-head record and their key players look in great touch.
