Melbourne Renegades – Fantasy Notes

  • The Renegades have announced the squad for the match against the Stars.
  • Fawad Ahmed has been added to the squad, who replaces Marcus Harris in the squad.
Points to consider:
  • Martin Guptill has shown good signs of returning back to form in recent matches. Although his struggle against left-arm pace in the powerplay is something to consider as he will face Luke Wood in this match.
  • In the absence of Marcus Harris, Sam Harper is likely to open the batting, which puts him in the threat of the new ball in the powerplay. In addition to that, he has a poor record against the Stars and what keeps him still in contention is his good form in the last 2 matches.
  • In the case of early wickets, both Jonathan Wells and Matt Critchley will have a good opportunity to make an impact. Wells has a good record against the Stars and is generally a reliable batter, especially when batting first. On the other hand, Critchley offers an all-round value as a wrist spinner as well. Pick them as differentials in your team.
  • Kane Richardson is the highest wicket-taker at Docklands in T20s since 2018. You can consider him as a differential c/vc choice if the Renegades bowl first.

Melbourne Stars – Fantasy Notes

  • The Stars have announced the squad against the Renegades. Tom O'Donnell has been added as a replacement for the injured Marcus Stoinis.
Points to consider:
  • Hilton Cartwright is a popular pick who has now been promoted to Number 3 and also has a good record against the Renegades. Another player who has been ignored is Nick Larkin, and he has an excellent record against the Renegades. He is selected in just 11.3% of the teams and whose fantasy potential increases in the absence of Stoinis.
  • Luke Wood's selection % has fallen but he is a safe player to have in your teams when bowling first as he bowls at the death. Pick him as a differential in your teams.
  • Adam Zampa is another differential pick to consider especially if he bowls second as he will bowl against a Renegades team with at least 4 right-handers in top six.
