MLR vs BRH Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2020-21
Melbourne Renegades will take on Brisbane Heat in the 49th match of the Big Bash League. The match will be played at the Docklands Stadium and is set to begin at 4:05 PM local time.
An inspired bowling performances from the Renegades helped them pull off a big upset against Melbourne Stars in the previous game.
Renegades restricted Stars to a manageable 158 before chasing it down in the last over.
Even though they won the match, we don’t think they batted well. It was only the heroics from Mackenzie Harvey that helped them cross the line.
As we said earlier, such performances can win you one or two matches but won’t be good enough to help you perform consistently.
Finch and Marsh again got out cheaply. Sam Haper and McGruk failed to convert their starts into decent scores. This has been the story of the whole season. No wonder they’re struggling at the bottom of the points table.
Against Heat, if they want to win the game, they need to rectify their issues in their batting. Runs from the top order are must.
Brisbane Heat have been bowled out under 20 overs in their last two games which will be cause of concern. This is a team that heavily depends upon Chris Lynn and if he fails, they’re bound to struggle.
Players like Joe Denly, Joe Burns, Max Bryant and Jimmy Pierson need to step up to the occasion now. Marnus Labuschagne is a player that can hold one end and other players can revolve around him.
The bowling was off colour in the previous match but generically they’ve been pretty good. Xavier Bartlett, Mark Steketee, Mitch Swepson, Jack Wildermuth, Morne Morkel forms a quality bowling attack.
The batting for both teams is an issues but Heats have a much more stable batting line up and we think they should be good enough to beat Renegades tomorrow.

Both teams are struggling as a batting unit but the presence of players like Chris Lynn and Marnus Labuschagne gives a definite advantage for the Heats. Also they have a better bowling line up as well. For us, Heat are clear favourite in this match
