The Melbourne Renegades are facing a crucial match against the Sydney Sixers as they aim to stay in the top four of the KFC BBL. Unfortunately, they will be without their star spinner Adam Zampa, who has been sidelined with a neck injury sustained in their previous loss to the Hobart Hurricanes.
The Sixers, on the other hand, have bolstered their squad for the upcoming match. Hayden Kerr, despite having a top score of 98* in the BBL, has been pushed down to bat at number 11. This decision has led to former Renegade Kane Richardson being dropped from the team and not being able to face his old side in this fixture.
The match is scheduled to take place on Thursday at 4pm AEDT at the Marvel Stadium with an open roof. Fans can catch all the action of the 2025/26 KFC BBL live on FOX CRICKET, available on Kayo Sports. For those new to Kayo, they can join now and enjoy their first month for just $1.
The Renegades will be relying on players like Jason Behrendorff, Tim Seifert, and Andrew Tye to step up in the absence of Zampa. On the other hand, the Sixers will look to players like Babar Azam, Moises Henriques, and Josh Philippe to continue their winning streak.
Both teams have made changes to their squads for this match, with the Renegades bringing in Fergus O’Neill to replace the injured Zampa, while the Sixers have included Hayden Kerr and Mitch Perry in their lineup. It promises to be an exciting clash between these two teams vying for a spot in the top four of the BBL standings.
