Both teams have played 3 matches in the BBL this season, Sydney Thunder won against the Scorchers and Brisbane Heat, while they lost against Melbourne Stars. Melbourne Renegades, on the other hand, also won against Perth Scorchers but they lost to Sydney Sixers and Hobart Hurricanes. The two teams have faced in 11 matches against each other and Renegades are leading by 9 victories, while only 2 matches went to Sydney Thunder. Looking at Sydney Thunder's current form, we don't know which way the match will go, but I have picked the best 3 bets from the match for you to make this match profitable for you.

Shaun Marsh to Score Over 24.5 Runs

I want to start with an easier bet. Shaun Marsh is a phenomenal batsman who has been playing for the Renegades for the last 2 seasons. He has a career total of 6177 runs from 184 innings at an average of 38.61. He has come out to bat for the Renegades for 15 innings and scored 525 runs at an average of 35.00. While these numbers are really solid, the really convincing numbers are his specific encounters with the team and at the ground. Shaun Marsh has played 7 matches against Sydney Thunder, and he has racked up 293 runs from the matches at a massive average of 58.60! He has played 2 matches at the Manuka Oval in his career and he managed to score a total of 120 runs from the matches at an average of 60.00! Sportsbet.io has offered odds of 1.85 for Shaun Marsh to score over 24.5 runs.

Usman Khawaja to Score Under 24.5 runs

Usman Khawaja has had a solid career, with a total of 2339 runs from 85 innings averaging at 29.24. His recent performances though have not been up to the mark. The Australian batsman has an average of 18.6 from his last 10 matches with a total of 186 runs scored, he was able to score over 24.5 runs only once from the 10 games! I can assure you this bet is one to go for. Despite his average for Sydney Thunder, which is impressive at 35.63 from 45 matches, I have a very important statistic to convince you of the surety of the bet, Khawaja has trouble playing out in Manuka Oval and his previous plays there show that. From the 6 matches he has played for the Thunder at Canberra, against six different teams, he scored a mere 81 runs( 21,17, 7, 0, 0, 36) averaging at 13.50 he got out under the required target 5 out of 6 times! LeoVegas.com has offered odds of 1.85 for Usman Khawaja to score under 24.5 runs.

Sydney Thunder to score the most match 4's

I have found a bet that allows you to double your money! If we look at the last 5 matches played by the two teams, the number of fours hit by the two teams is as follows.

Sydney Thunder: 15, 16, 13, 11, 10

Melbourne Renegades: 15,2, 13, 9, 10

As we can see, Sydney Thunder hit a total of 65 fours at an average of 13.0 while Melbourne Renegades has scored a total of 49 fours at an average of 9.8 from their last 5 matches. That's a difference of 16 furs in 5 matches! Furthermore, in these matches Sydney Thunder conceded 64 fours at an average of 12.8 while the Renegades conceded 71 fours at an average of 14.2. While we don't know which team will win yet, I can assure you Sydney Thunder will hit more match fours and to make this deal sweeter LeoVegas has offered odds of 2.05 for Sydney Thunder to score the most match 4's.
