The Melbourne Renegades have won the toss and have elected to bat.

The KFC Big Bash is back at the SCG tonight with the Sydney Sixers playing host to the Melbourne Renegades. The Sixers come into tonight’s match sitting at 3-2 with the Renegades at an even 2-2. It’s a crucial match for both sides with a win tonight going a long way to help secure a finals birth. The Sixers come into the match fresh off a 3 wicket win against the Heat with the Renegades looking to bounce back after losing by 46 runs at the hands of cross-town rivals the Melbourne Stars. Sixers Daniel Hughes and Brad Haddin have found good-form with the bat and that will need to continue when facing the Renegades flexible and potent bowling attack.

Sydney’s squad will be bolstered tonight with the return of Jackson Bird and Nathan Lyon who return from national duties with the Australian test side but will be without Jason Roy and Sam Billings who have headed to India to play for England. The Renegades have made three changes to their squad after the loss to the Stars; Tom Beaton, Thisara Perera, and Xavier Doherty coming into the squad replacing Marcus Harris, Trent Lawford and Nathan Rimmington. There will be no shortage of fireworks at the SCG tonight in the Renegades first interstate match of the season.
