MR vs PS Match Preview

Melbourne Renegades will play the Perth Scorchers at Docklands Stadium in Melbourne. After their recent win, the hosts will be confident in their ability to put the struggling Scorchers under pressure. Perth Scorchers will be furious after not finishing the innings on a high in their previous match. With skipper Ashton Turner and wicketkeeper Matthew Hurst at the crease, the Scorchers scored only 23 runs in the final 25 balls of their innings and lost two wickets. Melbourne's Jake Fraser-McGurk is an important batsman to watch out for. He looked in great form in the first game and is a big-hitting opener who can get the Renegades off to a fast start.
