Strikers vs. Renegades Predictions

Best Bet

Renegades @ $2.05

Bet Now

It’s not easy to bet on the Renegades after they were thumped by Perth on Thursday night, but they did well enough with the bat, and it’s only the bowling that needs to improve.

Given how poorly Adelaide has been hitting the ball, the Renegades’ bowling attack could find some relief, and they have the batting power to score a big total, with the likes of Tim Seifert, Mohammad Rizwan, and Jake Fraser-McGurk.

This game all comes down to attitude, and we believe the Renegades have a better attitude. They are keen to close out the season with some wins, and punters should take the better odds with Big Bash betting markets.

Same Game Multi

Renegades H2H, Tim Seifert Over 22.5 Runs, Jake Fraser-McGurk Over 16.5 Runs, Matt Short Under 24.5 Runs @ $9.50

Bet Now

Form is with Tim Seifert and Jake Fraser-McGurk, who did their job when losing to the Scorchers. Seifert scored 66 runs as the opener, and that was a good performance under the circumstances of chasing 200+ runs.

Fraser-McGurk came in at #3 and had 42 runs from 18 balls. He has enough power to light up the scoreboard, and it was only the rest of the team that let down the Renegades. Therefore, back Seifert and Fraser-McGurk to have big scoring nights.

Matt Short could struggle for the Strikers. He hasn’t been at his best, and the 24.5-run line is bigger than expected. The Renegades know they need early wickets to win this game, and Short could come up short.

Best Value Bet

Jake Fraser-McGurk Top Renegades Run Scorer @ $6.50

Bet Now

It was good to see Fraser-McGurk promoted up the order, and it had a positive effect for the Renegades on Thursday night.

He only needs to survive his first couple of overs to set himself up for a big score, and he’s one of the cleanest hitters in the Big Bash League.

We’re happy to keep backing him, and something around 60 runs could be available on Saturday night.
