We all love the Big Bash League and this year, the BBL 2021/22 began in full swing with the biggest ever winning margin achieved by defending champs Sydney Sixers. But the tournament moves on and we’re going to talk about Match 3 of BBL 2021/22 today where Melbourne Renegades are all set to make their first appearance in the tournament, with a captain change being made after 10 long years.
Their opponent is also making their first appearance this year in Adelaide Strikers. Both teams are underdogs in BBL 11 and that’s what’s going to make this game an interesting one. Remember, some overseas players are yet to arrive or are in quarantine while some are called up for the Ashes 2021/22 series, so pick players after the toss.

Melbourne Renegades
Let’s first talk about the new captain Nic Maddinson who isn’t available and the new stand-in captain will be pacer Kane Richardson who is among the leading BBL wicket-takers of all time, so he can’t be left out of your REN vs STR fantasy team today. Leg-spinner Cameron Boyce has been out of action since a while so we’re leaving him out though we like him, and picking Afgani spinner Zahir Khan instead, as BBL has preferred spinners from this country.
Talking about Afghanistan, Mohammad Nabi is playing his fifth straight season for Renegades and he can’t be left out of your REN vs STR Dream11 team because he’s super experienced and has been in great form too, with both bat and ball. With the bat, Unmukt Chand became the first Indian to get a BBL contract but he’s unlikely to play and in this weak batting attack, we’d ask you to watch out for young Sam Harper.
Adelaide Strikers
This team is also without their captain as Travid Head got selected to play the 1st Test of Ashes 2021/22, so their most experienced bowler in Peter Siddle will take over the responsibilities and he should definitely be picked. While there’s the wily Rashid Khan in the side, we’d recommend another bowling pick in Wes Agar who was great last season for the Strikers, ending BBL 2020 with 22 scalps in 15 games.

Someone who got 400+ runs topped the charts for this team last season is Jake Weatherald who is also in good form recently and should make your MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) REN vs STR fantasy team. Like the Renegades, this team also seems short on batting reserves and that’s why we’re picking those who have plenty of BBL experience over the years to stand up and perform, so add Jonathan Wells to your side too.
