Melbourne Renegades vs Brisbane Heat head to head: REN vs HEA head to head records in BBL history

The 10th match of the ongoing 12th edition of the Big Bash League will be played between Melbourne Renegades and Brisbane Heat in Geelong tomorrow. Second rematch of the season will witness these two teams facing each other for the second time in less than a week.

Third BBL 12 match, the last Renegades-Heat clash had witnessed the former registering a comprehensive 22-run victory on the back of successfully defending a 167-run target at an away venue. Set to play their second home match on Wednesday, Melbourne would be looking to register their third consecutive victory of the season and against BH in order to maintain one of the top spots on the points table.

Only team to have played a solitary BBL 2022-23 match and one of two teams to have not won a match thus far, Heat would want to start afresh after a six-day break. Having won three out of their last five matches against this opposition, there is no reason why Brisbane can’t challenge Melbourne at the Simonds Stadium in another 24 hours from now.

That being said, Renegades have had the better of Heat both in overall head-to-head records and at this venue over the years.
