Toss
There is a slight toss bias here as three of the last four BBL matches at the Sydney Cricket Ground have been won by the team that has batted first. The toss-winning skipper therefore may want to make first use of the batting conditions on Monday. Sydney Sixers have lost three of their last four matches at this ground batting second. So we don’t recommend betting on the hosts if they are going to be chasing.

Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades Prediction
While Sydney Sixers do have the advantage of playing Melbourne Renegades in familiar conditions, they will at the same time be wary of the fact that they haven’t been doing too well at the SCG of late. In the last five matches they have played at this ground, they have only been able to muster a single win, and this is going to make the Renegades more optimistic.
As far as the Renegades are concerned, they too have issues of their own to resolve. Though their spin trio of Narine, Hogg and Cooper are doing a terrific job with the ball, their seamers have been pretty mediocre so far and they are likely to be targeted by the Sixers.
