Renegades emerged victorious in the previous encounter by 12 runs, courtesy skipper Aaron Finch’s 54 runs.
Melbourne Renegades are comfortably sitting at the second spot in the points table with 14 points. They have won 7 matches and lost 5 in their 12 games so far in this campaign. Renegades won their last encounter against Perth Scorchers by 78 runs. They would be eyeing to keep their winning momentum going.
While Sydney Thunder have taken up the fifth spot with 11 points in 11 games, they have had a mixed tournament so far, having won five and losing as many games. Shane Watson and Co. would be hoping to get back to winning ways, just like their last game against Perth Scorchers, which they won by 6 wickets.
