Analysis

Having finished at the bottom of the table last season, Melbourne Renegades will aim to give their most in this edition. The likes of Aaron Finch and Shaun Marsh make a strong top order and are the best batting picks, with the former being a dependable captain choice. Additionally, all-rounder Mohammad Nabi could be the MVP for the Renegades and should be a must-have in one’s fantasy team, alongside Kane Richardson from the bowling department.

Adelaide Sixers will hope to take a lead right from the first game in the tournament and aim to dominate the Kane Richardson-led side right from the start. Matt Renshaw and Jake Weatherald are the preferred batting picks from the side. A lot will depend on bowlers, Rashid Khan and Peter Siddle, which makes them must-haves, as they shall fetch good fantasy points.
