SIX vs REN Match Preview

The Sydney Sixers take on the Melbourne Renegades in the second match of the 2023-24 Big Bash League at Sydney Showground Stadium. Last season, the Sixers finished second in the group stage before losing in the Challenger, while the Melbourne Renegades finished third but were also eliminated in the knockouts. The Sydney Sixers have a strong BBL record and will field a team full of internationals and white ball specialists. This will not be an easy game to start their season, but they should have more than enough to win. Melbourne Renegades had finished last in the table for three consecutive seasons before dramatically improving in 2022-23. They have already begun recruiting for this campaign.
