Big Bash League Cricket Match Prediction 2023-24 | Match 10 | Melbourne Renegades vs Brisbane Heat – Will Melbourne Renegades get their first win of the season? | Dec 21

Melbourne Renegades vs Brisbane Heat Match Analysis

On Thursday night at Docklands Stadium, Melbourne Renegades and Brisbane Heat square off in Match 10 of the 2023–24 Big Bash League. After one loss and one disappointing outcome, the Renegades are still searching for their first victory. With two wins and one no-result, the Heat are undefeated. Melbourne local time for the match begins at 19:15.

Melbourne Renegades, who were eliminated from the Perth Scorchers game early on after losing to the Sydney Sixers, may have another difficult game ahead of them owing to an unplayable surface. Nonetheless, the addition of Quinton de Kock to the team will be very beneficial.

Brisbane Heat will be quite confident in their team going into this match because they are currently leading the table. The Melbourne Renegades won’t be an easy opponent to beat, but the Heat should be strong enough at bat and with the ball to prevail.

Melbourne Renegades vs Brisbane Heat Team Preview & Squads

Melbourne Renegades

The previous game was called off due to unfavorable pitch conditions, but Nic Maddinson’s team still managed to share the spoils with the Perth Scorchers. They will try to win the third game to get their first win of the season after losing the previous two. Given the strength of their opponents, Maddinson will be looking for a strong performance from his squad. 

Quinton de Kock and Nic Maddinson, the starting duo, will be crucial to the team’s success in this game. There will be a strong bowling assault against Joe Clarke, Jake Fraser-McGurk, and Aaron Finch, so they need to perform well in the middle order. Adding firepower to this hitting lineup are Jonathan Wells and Will Sutherland.

Kane Richardson and Tom Rogers will need to take early wickets for the team because Brisbane Heat have a strong top order. Mujeeb Ur Rahman needs to make the most of the circumstances and bowl well against Tom Rogers. For the side to win, Will Sutherland’s supporting performance must be strong.

Brisbane Heat

The team led by Colin Munro has started the season well. They have split the third game’s points after winning the first two. They won their previous game against Sydney Thunder by a score of 20 runs after putting in a strong performance. Munro wants his team to keep up this momentum and, should they triumph, hold the top spot on the points table. 

Josh Brown will be looking to start the game well for Colin Munro, who had a strong outing in the previous one. Sam Billings, Matt Renshaw, and Nathan McSweeney should all score runs for them because they have a potent middle order.

To put the side in a solid position, Michael Neser and Xavier Bartlett will try to make effective use of the new ball and pick early wickets. Mitchell Swepson and Spencer Johnson bowled effectively against the Sydney Thunder and could do well. The team will require strong performances from Paul Walter and Matthew Kuhnemann in supporting roles.

Melbourne Renegades vs Brisbane Heat outfield report

Docklands Stadium, Melbourne

At Docklands Stadium, the team batting first has won 27 of the 54 T20 matches, while the team fielding first has won 27 of them. We anticipate that both captains, should they win the toss, would opt to bat first because the circumstances are likely to suit bowling more in the second half of the match.

Perth will see windy and partly cloudy weather. This Melbourne match will have intermittent cloud cover from start to finish. It will start in the low 20s and then drop to 18 degrees. We anticipate a surface that provides some assistance to all kinds of bowlers, as the average T20 score at this location over the previous four years has ranged from 142 to 166.
