2018/19 Big Bash League: Predicting the champions of BBL 08

Game 2 - Melbourne Renegades vs. Sydney Sixers

Sydney Sixers

This game features two of the more consistent teams in BBL 08, and with depth on both sides of the field, this is the harder game to predict. The Sixers are young and have been tampering with their lineup for the entire year, but have now settled on a pretty good team, while the Renegades are full of experience, top to bottom.

When firing, the Renegades have an incredible batting lineup, and feature plenty of variety, but the Sixers have players with the power and x-factor that can stand up in the big moments, and that will make all the difference. This one can go either way, but the Sixers have proven to be a deep lineup that can adapt to any game situation, and for that reason, we believe we will be seeing a Sydney vs. Hobart Final.

Prediction: Sydney Sixers Win
