The 3rd Match of the Big Bash League ( BBL T20 ) 2021/22 is scheduled to play Melbourne Renegades vs Adelaide Strikers on Tuesday, 7th December 2021 at Docklands Stadium, Melbourne.

Aaron Finch had led Melbourne Renegades in almost four seasons but now Nic Maddinson is the new captain of this team. The batting order of Renegades is strong and experienced and they have the best batsmen of the shorter format of cricket. Aaron Finch, Marcus Harris, Mackenzie Harvey, Unmukt Chand, Jake Fraser, and Will Sutherland are going to lead the batting order of Melbourne Renegades while Sam Harper is the wicket-keeper batsman of this team.

Adelaide Strikers had not made many changes in their squad for this 11th edition of the Big Bash League. They are a good team but we can not say that this team will qualify for the semi-finals as the batting order of this team is very poor. Travis Head is the new skipper, of the Strikers for this tournament. Ryan Gibson, Matt Renshaw, Jake Weatherald, and Jonathan Wells are the leading batsmen. Matthew Short and Liam Scott are batting all-rounders while Alex Carey and Harry Nielsen are wicket-keeper batsmen of the Strikers.

The 3rd Match match of Big Bash League 2021-22 is going to be held at Docklands Stadium, Melbourne. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 185 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Melbourne is predicting some clouds around on match day but the weather forecast does not predict rain. We should be able to have a full uninterrupted match.
