THU vs REN Dream11

THU vs REN Dream11 Prediction: Bottom-placed Melbourne Renegades would be looking to avoid the wooden spoon for the third consecutive season, however, the Sydney Thunder might make the task fairly difficult, considering the form they’ve essayed throughout BBL 11. The Renegades lost by six runs in a 183-run chase, which witnessed skipper Aaron Finch and Shaun Marsh emerge as the top-performers with the willow. For the Thunder, though they lost to the defending champions – Sydney Sixers – in their last outing, taking into account the skilled set of players in their side, they could be backed to bounce back stronger and perhaps vent out their frustration against the Renegades, who they beat earlier by 129-runs at the Docklands. The Thunder’s win in the upcoming game could solidify their chances of finishing at the top two, provided the Sixers lose their final match to the Brisbane Heat.

Who will win THU vs REN  today match?

The Melbourne Renegades had a torrid run throughout the BBL 11. The failure of their middle-order batsmen to perform on a regular basis cost them heavily on a number of occasions. On the other hand, the Sydney Thunder had all their boxes checked, and not once did they look out of sorts. The Thunder have performed like a title contender from the commencement of BBL 11, and thus, they could be vouched to script their ninth win of the season over the 8th placed Renegades. As per THU vs REN today match prediction and Sydney Thunder vs Melbourne Renegades cricket betting tips, Sydney Thunder are the favorites for this match.
