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.

MR vs PS Key Players

Nathan Ellis

Captain Nathan Ellis fought alone in the first game. He got runs down the order to get Hobart at least above 50 but the overall performance from his teammates was pretty poor. He is leading from the front and his performances could inspire his teammates to support and build.

Lance Morris

Lance Morris has been in the national picture for a while in the last year. Australia are yet to unleash him completely with the big three still going strong but his chance will come soon.

Melbourne Renegades are in a tough spot as well with wins not coming towards the end of last season and that carrying on to this one too. They face Perth Scorchers, who are known to be a pretty successful side in the BBL with their experience and consistency.

Alana King

Alana King loved the new ball in the previous game. She started off with her leg-spin and looks pretty tough to pick with her subtle variations in pace.

Hayley Matthews

Hayley Matthews continues to rule the World with her all-round skill. She was at it again, taking two wickets with the ball and then following it up with a quick fire start in the chase against the Brisbane Heat.

Match Prediction: Melbourne Renegades Will Win the Match

MR-W vs PS-W Match Preview

The Melbourne Renegades face the Perth Scorchers in a key Women's BBL match in Melbourne. Perth got off to an winning start, but it did not look convincing. However, they will be content with the scrappy victory and move on to the next challenge: the Melbourne Renegades. The women in red played a few matches but received no points. They'd be disappointed that they squandered two good opportunities. Despite reaching a strong position in both games, they were unable to finish well. They'll fancy their chances of defeating the Scorchers, whose winning start in their initial game helped them avoid a five-game loss streak.

The Perth Scorchers are not in great shape, but the balance of their squad remains intact. They will rely on some of their players who have a track record of producing match-winning performances to deliver against the Melbourne team. The Renegades' current form is undeniably patchy, but they have the contestants to compete. We believe the contest will be even-stevens, but we back the Scorchers to win. Considering the team combination, Perth Scorchers-W is expected to win this match.

The defending champs and historically the best side in the BBL are here for their first game, ready to take on the Renegades who open their account with a loss after coming pretty close.

MR vs PS Key Players

Josh Inglis

Josh Inglis is now an Australian regular and is probably the best wicket-keeper in the country at the moment. He is solid in the middle-order and a good tournament here could spice things up with T20 World Cup selection.

Quinton De Kock

Quinton De Kock is a big buy for the Renegades and he is probably their best batter at the moment. While they have a lot of talent in there Quinton De Kock can bring a different value with his aggressive starts.

Perth Scorchers are favorites as always with their record in the tournament.
