Can Scorchers keep Renegades at bay in the SCO vs REN BBL 2021-22 game?
Scorchers are overwhelming favourites for this one, considering they are sitting on top of the points table with an undefeated run. They will be playing at home in Perth and also came out on top against the Renegades in their last game. The Renegades will have to play really well to pull one back in their favour on Sunday.
1. Mitchell Marsh (10.5 credits) – Marsh has been absolutely magnificent with the bat since returning to the BBL after enjoying a terrific T20 World Cup. After making a century to start off his tournament, he blasted an important 86 in the last game versus Renegades. He is averaging 103.50 with a strike-rate of 154.47 after his three outings.
2. Kane Richardson (9 credits) – Richardson has been very good with the ball for Renegades. The experienced pacer has taken as many as nine wickets in his four outings with an economy rate of 7.66. Renegades need Richardson to continue his strong bowling form if they are to win over Scorchers.
3. Ashton Agar (8.5 credits) – Agar has been crucial to Scorchers’ successful run in the competition so far. The accurate left-arm spinner has bagged eight wickets from his five outings at an economy rate of just 6.57.
1. Laurie Evans (8.5 credits) – Evans has been a quiet but crucial contributor for Scorchers. The batter has struck 124 runs from his four innings at a strike-rate of 149.39 while averaging 62.
2. Jason Behrendorff (8.5 credits) – left-arm pacer Behrendorff has been very good with the ball for Scorchers. The tall Aussie quick has bagged six wickets from five outings with an economy rate of 7.46.
3. Zahir Khan (8.5 credits) – the Afghan bowler has been one of Renegades’ better performers with the ball. He has taken 7 wickets from his four BBL 2021-22 games with an economy rate of 8.06.
