Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Renegades match prediction 33rd match

Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Renegades | Best Players to Win Big

The 33rd match of the Big Bash League will take place between the Melbourne Renegades and the Adelaide Strikers, at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide on Friday, the 8th of January.

After the loss in their previous match against the Strikers on Tuesday, the Renegades will be looking to make a comeback. Adelaide Strikers have played 3 matches at Adelaide Oval this season, and they won 2 of the matches, while Renegades lost their first match at the Oval against the Strikers, and would be playing their second match on the pitch. Skipper Aaron Finch has performed very inconsistently this season making it harder for the Renegades to win while the Strikers have had trouble with their openers and have switched Jake Weatherald to the 5th position instead of letting him open. I have assorted the top player bets from the match that are likely to win you money.

Matthew Renshaw to Score Over 19.5 runs

Matthew Renshaw has had a solid domestic career, the Aussie has played 31 matches and scored a total of 650 runs from them at an average of 24.07. While he has not had the best season, scoring only 136 runs from his 8 matches for Adelaide Strikers, he has an average of only 17.0 from the games. He has played only 2 matches this year so far, and he managed to score 41 runs at an average of 20.5. The real kicker for this bet is his performance at the pitch, Renshaw has come out to bat at the Adelaide Oval in 5 matches and he has racked up 190 runs at an average of 47.5 runs per match! He scored 35 runs in the match against Renegades on Tuesday and this is a bet to go for. LeoVegas has offered odds of 1.86 for Matthew Renshaw to score over 19.5 runs.

Jake Weatherald to Score Over 18.5 Runs

Here's another cogent batsman from the Strikers to make a bet on. Weatherald has played 56 matches in his career, all for the Adelaide Strikers, and he has scored 1441 runs from them, at an average of 27.19. He has come out to bat against the Renegades on 9 different occasions scoring a total of 309 runs from them at an average of 34.33, which is almost double the required target. He also has impressive play at the pitch, with 899 runs under his belt from the 29 matches he has played there, at an average of 32.11. Even his play in the tournament so far has been dependable, with 206 runs from the 8 games he played, at an average of 34.33. Sportsbet.io has offered odds of 1.85 for Jake Weatherald to score over 18.5 runs.

Adelaide Strikers - 1st Wicket to be Phil Salt

I have found yet another winning bet for you with this one. Matthew Renshaw has recently been moved up the line-up and is now opening for the Strikers. Phil Salt has been opening for the Strikers for two seasons now, and yet we find he has had a sub-par performance this entire season. Renshaw has come out to open in only one match so far, and he scored 35 runs in the game, while Salt has had a season average of 16.31 from the 8 matches where he scored 131 runs. I mentioned earlier how Renshaw had a stupendous average of 47.5 at the Adelaide Oval with 190 runs. While Salt has decent play at the pitch, with 252 runs from 11 matches at an average of 25.2, he cannot hold a candle to Renshaw and is doomed to get out first. There is one more fact I want to leave you with, in the 8 matches that Salt has come to bat for the Strikers he has been the one to get out first in 5 of the matches, including the one match he opened with Renshaw. LeoVegas.com is offering odds of 1.79 for Salt to be the 1st wicket for the Strikers.
