Big Bash League 2021 is at a pretty exciting curve with competition getting more and more intense with every passing match. Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers are in a pretty good position at the moment and another couple of wins for them hereon should be enough to push them through to the next round. On the other hand, Melbourne Renegades and Adelaide Strikers are struggling big time and will be desperate to make a move on.
The next match in the tournament will make things a lot clearer as far as the points table is concerned. Melbourne Renegades are set to take on Sydney Sixers in a match that is of vital significance for both these sides. The match between the two sides is to be played at International Sports Stadium, Coffs Harbour on 1st January 2021.
With a record win in their first win, Sydney Sixers got off to the best possible start to the tournament. They have since then grown leaps and bounds and are now placed well to qualify for the next round. As it currently stands, they are placed at the top with six wins and one loss from seven matches. They have a total of 21 points to their name with a terrific net run rate of 1.264.
Sydney Sixers are coming off a win in a match that had plenty of ups and downs. Bowling first on a surface that had no visible demons, Sydney Sixers bowled in the tight channels and eventually restricted Heat to a total of just 105 runs. They had the game in their pocket at the halfway mark, but batting crumbled like a pack of cards. Just when the game looked all but over for them, Sean Abbott and Ben Dwarshius combined to get their side an important two-wicket win.
On paper, Sydney Sixers have an immaculately balanced side that has been in terrific touch so far. While their last match's performance would be in their minds, they would want to consider that to be a one-off failure with the bat. Having said that, it also showed their depth with the bat, which can prove to be a crucial factor if things get tight.
All in all, Sydney Sixers are certainly the side to beat in the competition, especially given the way they have so far. They have almost all bases covered on paper, be it with the bat or with the ball. If they are able to play to their potential, they should be able to cruise to yet another win in the competition.

Melbourne Renegades had a terrible run last year and their campaign this year isn't turning out to be any different. They have already played six matches and are yet to show anything substantial in any of the two departments. A win here will certainly not be enough to bring their campaign back on track, but they would need that for start.
Unlike what was expected of them, Melbourne Renegades got off to a terrific start, beating Adelaide Strikers by a minuscule margin of two runs. However, they failed to keep that momentum up, losing five matches on the trot since then. As it currently stands, Melbourne Renegades are placed at the bottom of the points table with one win and five losses from six matches. Coupled with the bottom-most position, they have a poor net run rate of -1.758, which just shows how poor they have done in both the departments of the game.
Its not that the Renegades have a poor side on paper. They have a decent set of experienced players available in Aaron Finch, Nic Maddinson, Mohammad Nabi, and James Pattinson, but none of those have managed to consistently contribute to the Renegades' cause. Also, their bowling looks a bit unidimensional, which has allowed the other teams to get them away once set. All in all, the Renegades have a lot of work to do going into the upcoming match and unless they are able to play out of their skins, it is difficult to see them making a big impact against the Sixers.
Mackenzie Harvey, Sam Harper, Aaron Finch, James Seymour, Jake Fraser McGurk, Mohammad Nabi, Jack Prestwidge, Will Sutherland, Kane Richardson, Reece Topley, Zahir Khan.
This is the first match of the tournament at this venue and there will be a lots of ifs and buts surrounding it. Even though the runs on the board will matter, batting first here will be a risky proposition. Largely because not a lot is known about the surface, the captain winning the toss is expected to field first.

This is a new venue and there will definitely be an air of uncertainty when two sides take the field. Being a multi-purpose stadium, this ground has odd dimensions and that will be playing in the minds of both these sides. Unlike most grounds in Australia, this is a ground with short boundaries and batsmen would be temped to clear the boundaries. Having said that, the surface will have something for the bowlers, making it an super competitive venue for cricket. A total of around 170 would be about par here and the team batting first would want to score a bit more.

Although this is a match between the two sides placed at the opposite ends on the points table and appears to be more of a mismatch, it is difficult to ignore the potency of the two sides. Sydney Sixers are an in-form unit with a string of favorable results behind them. Melbourne Renegades, on the other hand, last won a match a long time ago and are likely to be running low on confidence. Considering that and the other factors stated above, betting on a Sydney Sixers win should be the way to go here.
Sydney Sixers have been in fantastic touch so far and one of the primary reasons for that is the superb performance by Joshua Phillipe. He hasn't scored well in the last few matches and will be raring to go. Bet on Phillipe to score a fifty here.
Sean Abbot is coming off a fantastic match and will be brimming with confidence. He is someone who is capable of doing well in both departments of the game and will be a tough man to deal with. He bowls at the death and in the powerplay, making him a prime man to deliver damage. Bet on Abbot to pick up at least a couple of wickets here.
