REN vs STR: Team Previews
Melbourne Renegades
Melbourne Renegades have had a forgettable campaign in the BBL 2023, reeling at the bottom of the points table.
They have succumbed to four consecutive defeats, earning a solitary point from their abandoned fixture against Perth Scorchers in Geelong. They have been miserable with both bat and ball and would be desperate to change the fortunes with a spirited performance.

On the other hand, Adelaide Strikers have had a topsy-turvy start to the BBL 13, occupying the fourth position with one victory in three matches. After opening their account with a six-wicket win over Sydney Thunder, the Strikers incurred a gut-wrenching one-run defeat against Sydney Sixers in the last game.
So, moving on to this fixture, Adelaide Strikers would be keen to put up an impressive show and get back on the winning track.
