Pitch Report
The pitch at the Marvel Stadium has been excellent for batting this season. One side of the boundary is quite small on this ground, and we can expect a run-fest.
Melbourne Renegades preview
The Renegades have won just three of their eleven games, and they are in desperate need of a win. The Renegades have struggled with their batting this season, and their batting has flopped in the last two games. Shaun Marsh is looking in good touch, whereas Nic Maddinson and Aaron Finch need to step up. Kane Richardson and Josh Lalor will lead the pace attack, whereas Zahir Khan and Cameron Boyce will be the leading spinners. Richardson has been their ace bowler with 18 wickets.
