Pace and bounce are expected from the pitch with the batting condition predicted to be average.
Adelaide have won just 1 from 5 so far this year and with their season effectively hanging on this game my belief is that the pressure will be too much for a bowling lineup that has underproduced so far in BBL14.
Melbourne have some strike weapons in their batting and bowling such as Josh Brown, Tim Seifert, Will Sutherland and Adam Zampa. Expect them all to get to work and rally around eachother to get on top of their opponents in this one.
Take Melbourne to win the game outright as short favourites with Tim Seifert to score 20+ runs as he has done in 3 of his 4 games this season.
- Adelaide have allowed their opponents an average of 173 runs in their 5 games played this season.
- Melbourne are 2-0 as the home team this season. Adelaide are 0-2 on the road.
- The Renegades bowling attack are restricting opponents to just 12 fours and 4 sixes per game.
- Tim Seifert is averaging 32.25 this season and has scored 20+ in 3 of his 4 games played.

Melbourne Renegades Form
The Melbourne Renegades most recent outing was an 8 run loss to the Sydney Thunder. The Renegades won the toss and sent their opponents in to bat taking their first wicket in the 2nd over of the innings.
While some wickets fell easy the Gades could not get through the defence of David Warner who hit 86* off 57 balls. Tom Rogers, Kane Richardson, Will Sutherland and Adam Zampa all took a wicket each with Richardson having the best economy of 6 runs per over.
With a target of 157 to chase Josh Brown and Jake Fraser-McGurk got off on the front foot belting a couple boundaries before Brown found himself caught on the boundary lofting a widish delivery. Seifert, Bethell and Fraser-McGurk all then fell in quick succession before Laurie Evans gave the fans some hope with a 40 off 26 balls coming in at 5. It wasn’t to be for Melbourne as they failed to reach the total before the 20 overs were up.
Melbourne are averaging 10.8 fours and 4.5 sixes this season while allowing 13.8 fours and 7.8 sixes.

Adelaide Strikers Form
The Strikers were embarrassed at home on New Years Eve with their opponents Perth Scorchers running out winners by 7 wickets with 33 balls remaining.
The first 8 wickets for Adelaide fell for a total of 58 runs and things were looking ominous before a record breaking 9th wicket partnership between Brendan Doggett and Cameron Boyce lifted the Strikers to a 142 total in their 20 overs.
Doggett was then handed the new ball but it was Henry Thornton that broke through twice in the 2nd over of the game with Adelaide riding high on the wave of momentum. Doggett had the only other wicket of the innings taking Finn Allen on 50 as the Scorchers steadied to take the win.
Adelaide allow 15.2 fours and 6.8 sixes to their opponents per game while scoring only 13.6 fours and 7.2 sixes.
