REN vs STA Match Preview

This week’s 2023/24 Big Bash League fixtures include another derby game, this time between the Melbourne clubs, which will take place on Saturday evening at the Marvel Stadium. The Renegades are at the bottom of the table with three points from eight games, with the Stars in fifth place. The Melbourne Renegades have had another disappointing season, but they will hope that the intensity and scrutiny of a derby game will provide them with an opportunity to defeat the Stars. However, in order to win, they will need to perform significantly better across all disciplines. The Melbourne Stars had a slow start to this year’s BBL before going on a winning streak. They are in contention for a play-off spot, but they must win again in this match. They should have enough, especially with the bat, to win this match.

Topmost Picks for REN vs STA Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Melbourne Renegades

• Jake Fraser-McGurk- the youthful top order batter picked up another Player of the Match Award after striking five fours and four sixes in the last match.
• Tom Rogers- the bowling all-rounder went wicketless in the last game but has been in excellent form with the ball over the Christmas period of BBL fixtures.

Top Picks – Melbourne Stars

• Beau Webster- the 30 year old all-rounder is having one of his best BBL campaigns. His batting has been the highlight but he also took 4/29 against Sydney Thunder.
• Joel Paris- the left-arm fast medium opening bowler has gone wicketless in just one game in this campaign and dismissed the big-hitting Jamie Overton on New Year’s Eve.

REN vs STA Probable Winners:

Both Melbourne teams have won at least one of their last two games, so we can expect two teams to arrive at the MCG full of confidence. The Renegades have a very strong recent record in this match, but they are up against a very strong Melbourne Stars team that is currently flying in the tournament. We predict that it will be a close game, but that Melbourne Stars will come out on top. Considering the team combination, Melbourne Stars is expected to win this match.
