The third match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2021-22 has the Melbourne Renegades (REN) taking on the Adelaide Strikers (STR) at the Docklands Stadium in Melbourne on Tuesday.
The Melbourne Renegades, after two subdued BBL campaigns, will be keen to start their BBL 2021-22 campaign on a winning note. Although they will miss the services of captain Nic Maddinson and Shaun Marsh, the Renegades can call upon the likes of Mac Harvey and Will Sutherland, who can pack a punch in this format. However, they host an Adelaide Strikers side that boasts a strong bowling attack featuring Rashid Khan and Peter Siddle. Both teams look evenly matched on paper, paving the way for a cracking game at the Docklands on Tuesday.

Pitch Report
A good batting track awaits the two sides at the Docklands Stadium on Tuesday. Although there should be some swing available for the pacers early on, the batters should enjoy the conditions at the venue. There is some spin on offer as well, keeping the spinners interested in the middle overs. Wickets in hand will be key for both sides with 160-170 being a good total on this ground. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with dew also possibly coming into play in the second half of the match.
Today’s REN vs STR Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Sam Harper: Sam Harper is one of the best youngsters on the Australian circuit, with the wicketkeeper also having some experience to fall back on. He relies on his ability to find gaps and access every area of the ground, making him a good addition to your REN vs STR Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Jake Weatherald: Jake Weatherald will be key to the Strikers' fortunes, especially with Alex Carey and Travis Head not being available for at least the first half of the BBL. The southpaw is one of their most consistent performers and will be one to watch out for in this game.
All-rounder
Matt Short: Matt Short has been a consistent performer for Victoria over the last few seasons, even proving his worth with the ball. However, he hasn't been able to replicate the same into the BBL. With Carey and Head's absence opening up an opportunity for him, Short could get a long run and make use of the opportunity in the BBL.
Bowler
Kane Richardson: Kane Richardson is one of the top bowlers in the history of the BBL, with the Aussie international known for his ability to pick up wickets in the death overs. The Renegades stand-in captain has a knack for taking wickets with his variations and accuracy, something that should make him a must-have in your REN vs STR Dream11 fantasy team.
