Brisbane Heat vs Melbourne Renegades BBL T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips
Get to Know Who will win HEA vs REN, Big Bash League match, toss Prediction with Head to Head stats, Playing 11, Dream11 Prediction, Betting Rates, Live score & winning percentage.
Left-hander Colin Munro averaged 43.33 in the BBL last year and he is our tip for Brisbane Heat’s highest run scorer in this opening match. With the ball, MItchell Swepson has not been picked for Australia’s Test series with South Africa but that should be Brisbane Heat’s gain. The spinner is our pick for their top wicket taker in this match.
Former captain Aaron Finch has scored 2817 runs across his BBL career and the opener is well worth backing as Melbourne Renegades’ highest run scorer in this game. Kane Richardson has 117 BBL wickets to his name and the pace bowler is a strong choice for Melbourne Renegades’ top wicket taker against Brisbane Heat.
Colin Munro has a reputation as a fine white ball specialist batter and we recommend backing him to score over 28.5 runs in this fixture.

HEA vs REN T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2022
The bottom two sides from the 2021-22 Big Bash League, Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Renegadaes meet in Match 3 of this season’s tournament at the Cazalys Stadium, Cairns on Thursday evening. Both teams finished on 16 points last year, 11 points away from the play-off places. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at 18:15 local time.
There is a fresh feel to the Brisbane Heat squad this year with plenty of players departing and a new group arriving. Even without Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne for this opener, they should still have enough quality to win.
Melbourne Renegades have been so poor over recent seasons that there is no pressure or expectation on the side ahead of this year’s tournament. They have plenty of experience in their side but it remains to be seen if that will be enough against Brisbane Heat.

Brisbane Heat Team News & Playing 11
HEA Team News
Captain Usman Khawaja and in-form Test star Marnus Labuschagne will both miss this opener as they prepare for the First Test against South Africa. New signing, Colin Munro, who has an excellent BBL record, is expected to captain the side in this match.
HEA Key Players
Colin Munro- the left-hander has a top score of 114 not out in the BBL and he has scored 833 runs across the last two seasons for Perth Scorchers, helping them to their title last year.
Sam Hain- the 27 year old Englishman will be making his BBL debut this year after impressing across all formats over recent seasons. He has caught the eye in both years of the Hundred for Manchester Originals and Welsh Fire.
Mitchell Swepson- the leg-spinner is back for his eighth BBL season but will be available for a larger number of games than last year when he played in only five. A big spinner of the ball who can be used as an attacking threat.
HEA Team Form
Brisbane Heat ended the 2021-22 BBL with five successive defeats and seven losses from their last eight games.

Brisbane Heat vs Melbourne Renegades Match Prediction
Melbourne Renegades Team News & Playing 11
REN Team News
After finishing in eighth place in three successive BBL tournaments, the Renegades have put faith in experienced batters and a youthful bowling attack to try and turn their fortunes around. Nic Maddinson will captain the side after taking on the role half-way through last year’s campaign.
REN Key Players
Aaron Finch- the 36 year old Australia T20 captain has shrugged off worries over his hamstring and will be an imposing figure at the crease in this game. He has a top score of 111 not out in the BBL.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman- the tall Afghan spinner will get plenty of turn and bounce from this wicket. So often in the shadows of Rashid Khan at national level, he could well star for the Renegades in BBL 2022 season.
Kane Richardson- the 31 year old is a very consistent performer in the BBL with 90 appearances so far. He had a strike-rate of 12 last season and has some of the best variations of the pace bowlers in the tournament.
REN Team Form
Melbourne Renegades were beaten in all five of their last games of last season’s tournament.
Melbourne Renegades Predicted Playing 11
Aaron Finch, Sam Harper, Marcus Harris, Shaun Marsh, Nic Maddinson, Andre Russell, Will Sutherland, Akeal Hosein, Kane Richardson, Zab Evans, Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Brisbane Heat vs Melbourne Renegades Betting Odds
The bookmakers are expecting a close game between the two teams who struggled to pick up runs last year. The hosts, Brisbane Heat, are narrow favourites.
Who will win Brisbane Heat vs Melbourne Renegades T20 Match?
Brisbane Heat have had more of a turnover of players than Melbourne Renegades but we think that will be to their advantage after both teams were so poor across the 2021-22 tournament.
BRH vs MLR Top Team Batsmen
Colin Munro, Sam Hain and Sam Billings are our batting tips for Brisbane Heat. Munro’s experience and strong record makes him favourite with the bookies to deliver the top score in this game. The form of keeper-batter Billings in last year’s tournament saw him get a last minute call up for the final Ashes Test.
We recommend Sean Marsh, Aaron Finch and Marcus Harris with the bat for Melbourne Renegades. At 39, Marsh has seen it all before and with a BBL average of 39.97, the bookies expect him to top score for the side. Harris has lost his place in the Test side and will look to bat with freedom and catch the eye in this tournament.
We are backing Mitchell Swepson, Mark Steketee and Will Prestwidge with the ball for Brisbane Heat. The bookmakers are backing Swepson to enjoy the pitch conditions and to be Heat’s top wicket taker. Steketee has taken 36 wickets across the last two campaigns.
Kane Richardson, Andre Russell and Akeal Hosein are our bowling picks for Melbourne Renegades. Richardson is always near the top wicket takers in the competition irrespective of how the Renegades performa and he has the top bowling odds with the bookies. Hosein has been in excellent form over recent weeks in the Abu Dhabi T10 tournament and is very hard to score runs against.
After last year, both teams would happily take a season where they are challenging for a play-off place as opposed to fighting it out at the bottom of the table. On a small ground which is expected to deliver high scores, we expect an entertaining contest but are backing the younger batting line-up at Brisbane Heat to produce more runs. Our prediction is for Brisbane Heat to get off to a winning start.
