Melbourne Renegades are favorites to win
Melbourne Renegades and Brisbane Heat meet in Match 37 of the 2021-22 BBL on Thursday evening at the GMHBA Stadium, Geelong. The Renegades moved off the bottom of the table with a 5 wicket win over city rivals Melbourne Stars in their last fixture. Brisbane Heat have won three matches in the tournament and are in 5th. Read on as we preview this game. This BBL fixture begins at 18:05 local time.
Melbourne Renegades made the most of the unavailability of Melbourne Stars players in their last match and have an excellent chance to beat an understrength Brisbane Heat in this game.
Seven Network and Fox Sports will show this game in Australia. In India, you can watch it on Sony Six. Sky Cricket have the rights in the UK with Willow TV showing the match in the USA. In South Africa you can watch it on SuperSport with Sky Sports showing the game in New Zealand.

Brisbane Heat prefer to bat first when they win the toss with Melbourne Renegades often fielding first in this BBL. Whoever wins the toss, we expect Melbourne Renegades to field first.
This is the first BBL of the season at the GMHBA Stadium. Typically the surface offers something for the pace bowlers and we are expecting a par score of around 160.
Thunderstorms are forecast in Geelong for this game with high humidity and a peak temperature of 24 degrees,

Shaun Marsh returned from injury for his first BBL appearance of the tournament in the last game against Melbourne Stars. His return saw leading run scorer Mackenzie Harvey drop down the order to number five. Reece Topley has played his last game of the competition and has returned to England ahead of a tour to the Caribbean.
The win over Melbourne Stars was long overdue for Melbourne Renegades. They have plenty of experienced players who can build on that win in BBL 2021-22.

Melbourne Renegades are heavy favourites for this game.
There is always a high level of expectation when Aaron Finch is at the crease and this game will be no different.
Melbourne Renegades were able to take advantage of an understrength Melbourne Stars squad in their last game and we expect them to do the same against a much-changed Brisbane Heat XI. We predict Brisbane Heat to fight hard but to end the game defeated.
