SYT vs MLR Dream11

After a two-day Christmas holiday break, the live-action is back in the Big Bash League (BBL) 2020-21. Sydney Thunder (SYT) and Melbourne Renegades (MLR) will lock horns in the 14th match of the tournament on December 26 (Saturday). The Manuka Oval in Canberra will host this game from 12:40 PM (IST) onwards. 

After facing a defeat in their opening clash, Sydney Thunder registered back-to-back wins in their next two games. Their skipper Callum Ferguson looks in red-hot form as he currently averages almost 58 in the ongoing tournament. They might continue with the same playing XI after an emphatic victory over Perth Scorchers in their last encounter.

On the other hand, Melbourne Renegades have just one victory to their name in three games. However, their regular skipper Aaron Finch will come back to the side after a one-match rest. Moreover, ace Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim is also set to play his maiden game of this season for the Renegades. 

Let’s look at our fantasy 11 predictions for this clash and here are top picks for SYT vs MLR.
