Who will win Brisbane Heat vs Melbourne Renegades, WBBL 2019?
Melbourne Renegades, after facing defeats in their last two matches, will be desperate for a win when they take on the high-flying Brisbane Heat in this 48th fixture of the Women's Big Bash League 2019. The match will be played on November 27 at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane. Live telecast is scheduled to begin at 1:10 PM local time.
Brisbane Heat sealed their semi-final spot with a seven-run win in the last game against Hobart Hurricanes at the Bellerive Oval. Although they are already through to the knockout round, the league leaders will look to stay away from any kind of complacency and win their remaining two fixtures to boost their chances of hosting the finals. Melbourne Renegades, after their seven-wicket defeat to Melbourne Stars, find themselves in a rather tricky situation. They have three more games to go, and in order to qualify for the semis, they must win them all and hope for the fourth-placed Sydney Sixers to lose both their remaining encounters.

Brisbane Heat Women Team News & Playing 11
BRHW Team News
Brisbane Heat made only change to their side in the last game against Hobart Hurricanes, dropping Lilly Mills for Mikayla Hinkley. The latter did not get to face a single ball while batting and her services with the ball were not required. Hinkley, therefore, could be retained in the playing eleven for this upcoming match against Melbourne Renegades. Beth Mooney and Maddy Green will continue to open the batting while Sammy-Jo Johnson will be leading the bowling attack once again.
BRHW Key Players
Beth Mooney: With 536 runs at an impressive average of 67 and strike-rate of 119.91, Beth Mooney is the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament. The left-handed opener has cracked six half-centuries this WBBL which includes the recent knock of 60 not-out at Sydney against Perth Scorchers.
Jess Jonassen: The all-rounder is one of the main threats in Brisbane's bowling attack as well as a key figure with the bat at the top of the order. Jonassen has shown brilliant form with the ball; she is the tournament's second-best bowler with 17 wickets (3 four-wicket hauls) at an economy of 6.35. She even struck an unbeaten 29-ball 63 in the reverse encounter at Melbourne.
Sammy-Jo Johnson: Brisbane Heat's number three has not had much luck with the bat this season. However, Johnson has had an outstanding campaign with the ball, picking up 16 wickets in 12 matches at an economy of 6.14.
BRHW Recent Form
Brisbane Heat are exhibiting red-hot form at the moment. They have won nine and lost only three of the twelve matches they have played so far in this year's WBBL and are topping the points table with 18 points. Since losing three of their first five matches, the Heat have not looked behind and they are now on an incredible winning streak having won their last seven matches on the bounce. Their previous encounter was against Hobart Hurricanes at the Bellerive Oval where they secured a seven-run victory.

Melbourne Renegades Women Team News & Playing 11
MLRW Team News
Melbourne Renegades picked Anna Lanning in their seven-wicket loss to Melbourne Stars last time out. The opening batter was brought into the side as a replacement for all-rounder Sophie Molineux who withdrew herself from the squad midway through the tournament citing mental health issues. Skipper Jessica Duffin made a notable contribution with the bat after promoting herself ahead of wicketkeeper Josephine Dooley and she is likely to bat at number four again. Danielle Wyatt will open the batting alongside Lanning and could be made to bowl in the powerplay again.
MLRW Key Players
Danielle Wyatt: The opener is showing good batting form having scored 331 runs (three half-centuries) at an average of 36.77. Danielle has scores of 45*, 57, 40 and 9 in her previous four innings. The England international can also be pretty handy with her off-spin like she was in the derby game last time out.
Jessica Duffin: She is another reliable batter for Melbourne Renegades at the top of the order. The captain has scored 321 runs at a terrific average of 53.50 and strike-rate of 140.17. Jessica has a couple of fifties to her name and is coming off an unbeaten 35 against Melbourne Stars.
Molly Strano: She has been the best performer with the ball for the Renegades this WBBL with 15 wickets in 11 matches at an economy of 7.51. The off-spinner returned figures of 3-19 against Hobart Hurricanes earlier in the month and she will look to replicate that performance on Wednesday.
MLRW Recent Form
Melbourne Renegades currently find themselves in the bottom-half of the WBBL 2019 leaderboard - at the fifth place with five wins and six losses from eleven matches. Their campaign got off to an ordinary start, losing four of their first six fixtures before they bounced back in the competition with wins in their next three matches. The Renegades, however, have lost all the momentum they had gained after suffering defeats in their last two matches - against Brisbane Heat by six runs and against Melbourne Stars by seven wickets.

🏆 Brisbane Heat Women vs Melbourne Renegades Women Prediction
Melbourne Renegades are coming on the back of two consecutive losses. They find themselves under a lot of pressure as one more loss could dash their semi-final hopes. But having beaten Brisbane Heat four times in their previous six attempts should give them the much needed confidence ahead of this crunch game. Brisbane Heat, however, are looking in ominous form at the moment and have plenty of momentum on their side with seven wins on the trot. The Renegades do have sufficient quality in both batting and bowling departments but they will need to click together as a unit to topple the Heat at home. Kirby Short's Heat emerged victors in the reverse encounter at Melbourne and we expect them to prevail again.
