Time | 2:00 PM IST, 8:30 AM GMT 7:30 PM LOCAL |
Venue | Docklands Stadium, Melbourne |
Melbourne Renegades have played 10 games in the tournament, winning five and losing as many. There is a stiff battle for the four playoff slots and no team is guaranteed of a place yet. A win against Melbourne Stars will boost their chances of a playoff berth.
Meanwhile, Melbourne Stars are almost out of the tournament after losing seven of the 10 games. However, if they can win their remaining games, they can have an outside chance.
The wicket that will be offered should be a good sporting surface where bowlers will get some help as well. Batters need to play cleverly and focus on rotating strike than hitting big shots.
The weather will be sunny and clear. The temperature will range between 36 and 17 degrees.

Aaron Finch has blown hot and cold in the tournament but he has been the best batter for his team. Finch has scored 244 runs in 10 games. With the business end nearing, Finch would like to pick some momentum as that will significantly boost his team's chances of winning the tournament.
Sam Harper has played a few handy knocks for Melbourne Renegades in the tournament. He is fresh from a brilliant 63 off 36 balls against Adelaide Strikers so he is also a good player to back.
Joe Clark has been one of the positive aspects of Melbourne Stars in a rather gloomy season. Clarke is the fourth-highest run scorer of the tournament with 283 runs in 10 games.
Tom Rogers has taken 17 wickets in 10 games for Melbourne Renegades. He has been simply outstanding with the ball and has played a significant role in Renegades' wins. He is a good bowler to have in the team.
Nathan Coulter-Nile took three wickets for 17 runs in the last game against Melbourne Stars. Coulter-Nile is a quality bowling option to back owing to his ability to bowl wicket to wicket which is one of the best ways to pick wickets in this format of the game
