On Wednesday, December 28, at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney, the 18th match of the Big Bash League 2022 will take place between the Sydney Sixers (SIX) and Melbourne Renegades (REN). This year’s Sixers season got off to a terrible start. However, they started winning again after the third game and will be into this one determined to make it three straight.
In the previous game, they defeated Melbourne Stars by seven wickets despite needing to score 151 runs in 19.1 overs. In the penultimate game, the middle order, which had struggled to contribute in the previous several, came to the team’s aid, and some crucial partnerships made it easy for them to cross the finish line.
