Possibly one of the worst performing teams in the season until a few days ago, Melbourne Renegades have got a little bit of a confidence booster in the past couple of games in the Big Bash League 2021/22. They’ve won each of their last two games but there’s a challenge for them as they play another team that’s in good form right now. We’re talking about BBL 11 Match 40 which comes after a day’s break in the league.
The team they’re playing right now is Sydney Thunder that is in even better rhythm right now with four wins on the trot. In their last game, they even outshone the BBL 11 points table leaders Perth Scorchers. The game will take place at the famous Docklands Stadium in Melbourne.

Melbourne Renegades
With scores of 21 and 57 in just the two games since he returned to the Renegades squad, there’s no way you can leave out Shaun Marsh from your REN vs THU fantasy team as he’s one of the top run scorers in BBL history. With scores of 50 and 37 in his last two games, another person from that top run scorers list is former captain Aaron Finch and both these experienced batsmen make our team today.
With the ball, they also have another experienced player in Kane Richardson who is among the top bowlers in the history of the Big Bash League, so he makes our REN vs THU Dream11 team as well. In the last game, all-rounder Mohammad Nabi was finally dropped with just one wicket in 8 games but he was brought in as an x-factor substitution and he struck within his first few balls itself which give him some confidence going ahead.
Sydney Thunder
One of their leading batsmen from BBL 11, Sam Billings will have to unfortunately leave the Thunder camp but in good time, his countryman Alex Hales seems to have got some runs. He scored 26 at a decent rate in the last game and right through the season, he’s hit the ball well so we’re not leaving him out. In the middle order, Oliver Davies has found a place in the side and he can hit some really bit shots and can be a match-winner on is day as well.

After just two wickets in his first 4 games, Gurinder Sandhu is now sure not to lose his place after the 4-fer in the last game, so make sure you have him in your MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) REN vs THU fantasy team for today. England players have been really good in this BBL 11 season and one of them is Saqib Mahmood who is their leading wicket-taker this season, making him a safe pick today.
