Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Renegades Match Analysis

On Boxing Day evening, Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Renegades square off in Match 15 of the 2023–24 Big Bash League at Perth Stadium. With two victories and one draw in their first three games of the season, the Scorchers are off to a great start this year. In addition to their blank, the Renegades have suffered three losses. On Tuesday at 21:15 local time, the game begins in Perth.

Perth Scorchers lost their most recent game by 172 runs, but they had no trouble reaching the finish line with 23 balls and 9 wickets left. They already appear to be on par with the team that won the competition the previous year.

Although the Melbourne Renegades are frequently regarded as having a quality roster, they have yet to win this season. The Hobart Hurricanes easily defeated them on Saturday in Hobart, and this matchup in Perth might be even more difficult.

Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Renegades Team Preview & Squads

Perth Scorchers

Before the Boxing Day Test at the MCG, Lance Morris was cut from the Australia Test team. He made his BBL debut this year on Wednesday, playing with Zak Crawley for his first Scorchers cap. Due to their strong performances, both will start in this encounter at Perth Stadium.

With 125 runs in just three innings this year, Aaron Hardie, the BBL’s top run scorer from the previous season for all clubs combined, appears to be able to defend his crown. The England opener for both formats, Zak Crawley, displayed his customary attacking instincts on Wednesday, finishing the innings with six fours and one six, scoring 65 runs off of 46 balls.

In match 9, towering left-arm bowler Jason Behrendorff (who is in excellent form) removed Ben McDermott, Sam Hain, Tim David, and Nikhil Chaudhary. In the most recent game against the Hobart Hurricanes, 37-year-old right-arm medium-fast bowler Andrew Tye claimed his second wicket of the match with the final delivery of the innings.

Melbourne Renegades

The Melbourne Renegades had already dropped two games before their Saturday match against the Hobart Hurricanes, but the team management continued to use the same starting lineup. With three losses in this season so far, they might find it difficult to accomplish it again in this game.

In the game on Saturday, South African Quinton de Kock smashed three fours and three sixes after making an unusual seven-ball duck against Brisbane Heat. Jake Fraser-McGurk, an intriguing young player, scored more than 100 runs in his first two innings against the Hobart Hurricanes, but he will be hoping to recover in this match.

In match 13, bowling all-rounder Tom Rogers dismissed both openers in BBL 2023, after taking just one wicket in his first three innings with the ball. In this encounter, 32-year-old veteran Kane Richardson, who has been a reliable performer this season, will try to maintain his streak of taking a wicket in every game.
