SCO vs REN Dream11 Predictions - BBL 2021/22 | 26 Dec

As a cricket fan, Boxing Day cricket is probably one of the best moments on the cricketing calendar. Apart from a couple of Boxing Day Tests, there are two Big Bash League games scheduled to be played on 26th Dec 2021 as well. In Match 20 of BBL 11, it’s the Sydney derby with Thunder taking on Sixers and just three hours later, it’s time for Match 21 of the tournament as we move to the Docklands Stadium in Melbourne.

It’s a battle between the BBL 2021/22 points table topper against the bottom of the points table. Perth Scorchers have begun brilliantly with 5 wins in 5 games this season while Melbourne Renegades have started really poorly with just 1 win in their first 4 games in BBL 11, and we think their losing streak may continue.

Numbers

In the reverse fixture in BBL 11, Scorchers won by 21 runs.
Mohammad Nabi – only 27 runs in 4 games this season.

Perth Scorchers

Topping the bowling charts for BBL 11 so far is Andrew Tye who was wicketless in the last game but before that, got a couple of 2-fers and a couple of 3-fers, so shouldn’t be left out of your SCO vs REN fantasy team. On the batting front, there’s Mitchell Marsh who has scores of 100*, 21 and 86 and has been in the form of his life in the last 6 months, so we’re picking him even though he doesn’t bowl much anymore.

Despite a century early in the BBL 11 season, Colin Munro only has 146 runs in 5 games and because of this inconsistency, we’re leaving him out of our SCO vs REN Dream11 team and we can pick Laurie Evans instead who accelerates at the death overs and has a couple of forties in his last 3 games. Tymal Mills only recently joined the squad and has 5 scalps in 3 games already so is a worthy addition while Peter Hatzoglou we’ll keep out, as he’s been inconsistent and expensive.

Melbourne Renegades

Renegades are currently on a hat-trick of losses and the batting department which is slightly strengthened in the last 2 games can help them get out of this rut. Nic Maddinson took over captaincy duties and with scores of 67 and 19 so far, he’s a good pick especially with all his years of BBL experience while the former captain final played his first game this season – Aaron Finch – scoring 68 in his first game itself, and he’s one of the leading run scorers in BBL history.

Talking about experienced players standing up, there’s Mohammad Nabi who has a best score of only 12 runs in BBL 11 so far and has only managed 1 wicket in 4 games. While he won’t be in many fantasy teams today, he could be an x-factor pick for your MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) SCO vs REN fantasy team. Will Sutherland has grown into a hefty young lad and can bat and bowl both, so is worth picking too.
