---|---|
Date | 3rd January 2023 |
Time | 1.45 PM IST, 8:15 AM GMT 7:15 PM LOCAL |
Venue | Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne |
Melbourne Stars and Melbourne Renegades will be disappointed with their performance in the BBL 2022 so far. Both teams are tottering in the second half of the points table and in desperate search of a win to revive their campaign.
Melbourne Stars have played six matches, winning two and losing four while Melbourne Renegades have played seven matches, securing just three wins. The Renegades have lost their last four games.
MCG always offers a good cricketing wicket. The batters get full value of their shots due to consistent pace and bounce, but the bowlers are also in the game given the large boundaries and the slight movement the pitch offers.
The weather will be cloudy and there is a 20 per cent chance of rain as well. The temperature will range between 19 and 14 degrees.

Stars have been dominant over Melbourne Renegades in BBL.

Aaron Finch has done well for Melbourne Renegades in BBL 2022. He has scored 236 runs in seven games, including two fifties. Finch though would want to be a bit more consistent as he is the most senior player in the team.
Marcus Stoinis returned to form in the last game against Adelaide Strikers and scored a blazing 74 off 35 balls. The star batter will look to continue the momentum in the coming game as well.
The Renegades' batting has faltered in the last four matches. The team will need runs from their top order and in Martin Guptill, they have a very good opener. Guptill can be inconsistent but there are no doubts about his match-winning abilities.
Luke Wood has been pretty impressive for Melbourne Stars this season. He is their leading wicket-taker of the tournament with 11 wickets in six matches
Akeal Hossain has been impressive for Melbourne Renegades so far. He has taken 12 wickets in seven games and is the highest wicket-taker for Melbourne Renegades.
