Melbourne Renegades Preview
Renegades made a paltry score of 104 runs in their last match. But in this disappointing loss, one big positive for Reengades was the return to form of India’s prolific batter Harmanpreet Kaur. Indian Women’s team Captain Kaur bounced back to form by scoring a fighting 47 runs. She got valuable support from Joseph Dooley and Georgia Wareham who played brief cameos in the lower order. Except for them, no other player made a double-digit score as their batting fell like a pack of cards.
In the bowling department, their bowlers have away 197 runs in 16 overs. Sara Kennedy (2/20) and Alice Capsey (1/19)starred with the ball by scalping regular wickets. On the other hand, Georgia Wareham bowled decently reducing the run rate of the opposition in the middle overs. However, their total was not efficient to be defended & due to this Renegades had to suffer another defeat. In this fixture, they will hope to beat all the odds & defeat Adelaide Strikers.
