Thunder v Renegades betting tips, prediction & odds; BBL Game 14 Preview

Scorchers v Renegades BBL10

Welcome to our Thunder v Renegades betting tips, winner prediction and odds analysis for Game 14 of the 2020-21 Big Bash League at Manuka Oval, Canberra, on Saturday, December 26.

Thunder have started the campaign well with wins at their past two games and have been further boosted with hard-hitting wicketkeeper-batsman Sam Billings ready to play after arriving from the England tour of South Africa. It’s worth checking the team at the last minute as final teams are not confirmed until the toss.

The Renegades could unleash South African veteran Imran Tahir, the leg-spinner who has a wonderful record in the limited-overs cricket and is still full of energy at 41.

Thunder v Renegades betting tips

Our cricket tipsters have examined the odds and found several Sydney Thunder v Melbourne Renegades tips for Saturday’s BBL clash.

Adam Milne leading wicket-taker for Thunder

The Kiwi speedster was impressive in his debut for the team in the win against Perth Scorchers. Milne did not open his wicket account but proved a real handful and he could be the one to make inroads early this time.

Aaron Finch man of the match

The dashing opener is the class player in this contest and he should be better for a short mental refresh, after a long time in quarantine playing for Australia and other commitments. Finch is a dominant force in the BBL and experienced enough to hit the ground running after Christmas. We will back him to fill up against a handy Thunder attack.


Thunder v Renegades prediction 26/12/2020

The bookmakers have made Renegades favourites, largely on the strength of Finch’s return and the possible addition of Imran Tahir for this match. Tahir is a wonderful T20 bowler and adds real energy in the field, despite his advancing years. Thunder are a little lucky to be 2-1 after three matches but nonetheless are a solid team. We like the mix of spin bowlers the Renegades will have at their disposal for this clash. Our final Thunder v Renegades prediction: Renegades to win.
