Sydney Sixers have won the toss and have opted to field

18:15 Local Time, 07:15 GMT, 12:45 IST:One of the most consistent teams - Sydney Sixers - in the Big Bash start their campaign against one of the most inconsistent teams - Melbourne Renegades. The teams have not tinkered much with their squad during the draft and have kept the core intact. Moises Henriques continues to lead the Sixers, James Vince was retained and since Steve O'Keefe retired, they roped in Akeal Hosein but he won't be available for the first few games. Will Sutherland is the skipper of the Renegades and they drafted in Laurie Evans to bolster the middle order. The goal for the Renegades this season would be to not finish in the bottom of the table but it won't be easy as Sixers have built a fortress at the SCG and beating them there will give them massive confidence going forward. Bat flip and team news coming up..
