Brisbane Heat Team News & Playing 11
The team will look to the opening pair of skipper Brendon McCullum and returnee Chris Lynn to light up the Gabba with some fireworks. The Heat will surely find themselves in a commanding position if these two come out in full flow. Paceman Mark Steketee (nine wickets in as many matches) and leg-spinner Yasir Shah (five wickets in six matches) will be the go-to bowlers for the Heat. The Renegades may not take too many chances against them.

Melbourne Renegades Team News & Playing 11
Marcus Harris smashed a quickfire fifty in the last game against Sydney Thunder to propel the team's total to 189. He along with the West Indian allrounders Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard will be the key figures in this batting line-up. Kane Richardson bowled a fiery spell picking up a four-wicket haul to help his side to a nine-run victory over the Thunder. The Renegades will also rely on Bravo who has been their best bowler this BBL with 14 wickets in 9 matches.
