REN vs SCO Dream 11 Prediction
Wicket-keeper for REN vs SCO Dream 11
Sam Harper (Price 8) and Josh Inglis (Price 8) both should be considered in the squad as both are aggressive in nature and starts striking from ball one. The pitch of Geelong should be used in powerplay overs and these both are certainly capable of doing that
Batsmen for REN vs SCO Dream 11
Cameron Bancroft (Price 9.5):- Cameron Bancroft is the best technically sound player of Scorchers. Playing at number 3, Bancroft is a stable option who can bat for long and he is also in search of some runs.
Aaron Finch (Price 10.5) – Aaron Finch will soon depart for Australian duty and before that, he must be eager to play a match-defining knock for his team and this might be his game He has looked in good touch this season but hasn’t played any big innings according to his standards.
Shaun Marsh (Price 9.5):- Shaun is one of the most technically gifted players who doesn’t throw his wicket away and is also in the 6th highest run-scorer of the tournament.
[Liam Livingstone has been in very form. Although he is chipping in with some overs, his batting has been below par this season. Beau Webster is also an option but bats at number 5, won’t be an ideal pick]
All-rounders for REN vs SCO Dream 11
Mitchell Marsh (Price 9.5) is not bowling since the last 3 games but he is still an asset with the bat. In Turner’s absence, he will bat at number 4 and has been the most reliable batsman of Perth till now.
Samit Patel (Price 8.5) will make his BBL debut in this game. Samit is a very good hitter of the ball and is also very handy with his left-arm spin bowling.
[Daniel Christian has been very poor this season and should not be considered in the team]
Bowlers for REN vs SCO Dream 11
Chris Jordan (Price 9):- Jordan has been one of the best bowlers of Scorchers. He has been a gun death bowler and also chips some overs in the powerplay too.
Fawad Ahmed (Price 8.5):- Fawad is a genuine wicket-taking threat in the middle-overs and is an experienced T20 bowler. He has been in very good form lately
Cameron Boyce (Price 8.5):- Boyce leads the spin-bowling line-up of Renegades. The pitch of Geelong will assist him and he can be a good choice on the track.
Kane Richardson (Price 9.5):- Kane has been the best bowler of Renegades and is the fifth-highest wicket-taker of the tournament.
TOSS TIP : If Renegades bats first then, Beau Webster can be selected in place of Boyce.
