Topmost Picks for REN vs HUR Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Melbourne Renegades

• Quinton de Kock- the South African hit three fours and one six at the top of the order in the Melbourne derby. He will look to maintain his strike-rate of 143.75 from that game in this match.
• Tom Rogers- the medium fast bowler went wicketless in the last fixture at the Docklands Stadium but he is a consistent wicket taker in the BBL and dismissed the dangerous Dan Lawrence on Tuesday.

Top Picks – Hobart Hurricanes

• Ben McDermott- the 29 year old is 45 runs away from bringing up 4000 T20 runs and he has previously hit three centuries, including two back to back in this competition, in this format.
• Nathan Ellis- the skipper has gone wicketless in only one match since the start of BBL 2023-24 and returned figures of 2/32 in the last head to head with Melbourne Renegades.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for REN vs HUR Dream11 Team:

REN vs HUR Probable Winners:

With a win, the Hobart Hurricanes will close the gap on the top four teams and drop the Melbourne Renegades to the bottom of the table. The Renegades can win, as they defeated the Adelaide Strikers at Docklands Stadium in their final game of 2023. However, we believe the Hobart Hurricanes will maintain their strong form and win this match. Considering the team combination, Melbourne Renegades is expected to win this match.
