Ongoing BBL 2021-22 will witness an encounter between Melbourne Renegades and Adelaide Strikers in the third match of the tournament. It will be first match for both the teams and the duo will be hoping to start their campaign on a positive note. After winning the title back in 2018-19, Melbourne Renegades finished in bottom of the points table in next two seasons. Adelaide also finished 5th last year.
Melbourne Renegades will be led by new skipper Nic Maddinson this season. In absence of Maddinson, Kane Richardson is set to captain his side. This season of BBL 2021-22 will also be remembered, as for the time ever an Indian cricketer will be seen in action. Unmukt Chand will probably play the role of opening batsmen along with ex skipper Aaron Finch. Apart from them, key players for Melbourne Renegades will be Shaun Marsh, Sam Harper.
All round duties will be handled by experienced Mohammad Nabi and Will Sutherland. Talking about the bowling options, Renegades are looking solid in this department this year with the presence of James Pattinson, Kane Richardson, Joshua Lalor, Jack Prestwidge. Their main spin bowler will be Cameron Boyce, who will be supported by Mohammad Nabi.
On the other hand Adelaide Strikers are likely to miss the services of full time skipper Travis Michael Head and keeper Alex Carey. Both of these experienced campaigners are part of national squad against England. In absence of these two stars, Jake Weatherald, Jonathan Wells, Matt Renshaw and Mathew Short will handle batting duties.
If we look at bowling unit of Adelaide Strikers, Rashid Khan and Fawad Ahmed form the most dependable spin attack of the tournament. They have a strong pace unit in the form of Peter Siddle, Wes Agar and George Garton. Other options in pace attack are Harry Conway and Daniel Worrell.
