BBL 2020: REN vs THU preview 

The Melbourne Renegades and the Sydney Thunder will open up the Big Bash League 2020-21 proceedings going into the New Year as they take each other in Gold Coast on Friday. Both teams have had varying degrees of success in the tournament so far, with the Renegades sitting in second-last place and the Thunder in second place. 2018-19 champions, the Melbourne Renegades won their first game of the season against the Perth Scorchers but have had four consecutive losses since.

Going up against the highest scorer of the tournament so far, Callum Ferguson, the Renegades bowlers will have to up their game. So far, captain Aaron Finch and opening partner Shaun Marsh have been the most notable batsmen for the side. With 9 wickets, Kane Richardson is by far the best bowler in the unit and the fifth-best bowler in the tournament. The sixth and seventh spots on this ladder are occupied by Chris Green and Tanveer Sangha of the Sydney Thunder, meaning we can expect a quality bowling matchup on the 1st. 

In stark contrast to the Renegades woes, the Sydney Thunder have breezed past all but one of their opponents to take the No. 2 spot on the leaderboards. Opener Alex Hales and captain Callum Ferguson have been the rocks of the side's batting lineups. Their only loss at the Big Bash League so far has come at the hands of the Melbourne Stars. They have already defeated the Renegades once this season and will be hoping to repeat the victory.
