REN vs HEA T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2023
Melbourne Renegades and Brisbane Heat go head to head in Match 10 of the 2023-24 Big Bash League on Thursday evening at the Docklands Stadium. The Renegades are still looking for their first win after one defeat and one no-result. Heat are unbeaten with one no-result and two victories. Read on as we preview this game. The fixture gets underway in Melbourne at 19:15 local time.
This could be another tough match for Melbourne Renegades who lost to Sydney Sixers before taking early wickets against Perth Scorchers only to see the game abandoned due to an unsafe pitch. However, Quinton de Kock will be a very useful addition to the side.
Brisbane Heat are top of the table ahead of this clash and there will be a huge amount of confidence in the squad ahead of this game. Melbourne Renegades will not be an easy opponent to defeat but Heat should have enough with both bat and ball to win.

REN vs HEA Match Toss Prediction
From 54 T20 games at the Docklands Stadium, 27 have been won by the team batting first and 27 by the side fielding first. The conditions are likely to favour bowling more in the second half of the game so we predict that both captains will choose to bat first if they win the toss.
REN vs HEA Pitch Report
With the average T20 score at this venue between 142 and 166 over the last four years, we expect a pitch which offers some assistance to all types of bowlers.

It will be partly cloudy from start to finish of this match in Melbourne. The temperature will be in the low twenties to begin with before dropping to 18 degrees.

Melbourne Renegades Team News & Playing 11
REN Team News
After being rested for the last game, Australian international spinner Adam Zampa is expected to return to the team for this match with Peter Siddle likely to drop out. Nathan Lyon is away with the Test team and Shaun Marsh is still not fully fit after a calf injury.
REN Key Players
- Quinton de Kock - The South African keeper-batter missed the opening two games due to involvement in the Abu Dhabi T10 tournament but is one of the world’s best top white ball batters.
- Aaron Finch - The experienced right-hander is expected to be rested for some games during this tournament but he will still be a key player whenever he is at the crease for the Renegades with his strong BBL record.
- Adam Zampa - The right-arm spinner was rested for the game against Perth Scorchers but impressed in Match 4 and has been in brilliant form over the last few months.
- Kane Richardson - The Australian international has taken 229 wickets across his T20 career and he dismissed the consistent Moises Henriques against Sydney Sixers.
REN Team Form
Melbourne Renegades were competitive in their first game but did not get the win. They are still looking for their first victory of the BBL 2023.
Melbourne Renegades Predicted Playing 11

Brisbane Heat Team News & Playing 11
HEA Team News
With two wins from two games already, changes are expected to be kept to a minimum for Brisbane Heat ahead of this match. However, batter Matt Renshaw picked up an injury during the victory over Sydney Thunder and is likely to be replaced by Jimmy Pierson.
HEA Key Players
- Colin Munro - The left hander is approaching 150 runs in this year’s tournament already and hit another two sixes and two fours against Sydney Thunder in Match 6.
- Sam Billings - The English international has become more focused on white ball cricket over recent seasons and has a strong BBL record. With Pierson back in the team he can focus exclusively on his batting.
- Xavier Bartlett - It has been a brilliant start to this BBL for the 25 year old right-arm fast medium bowler who took two balls from his last two balls in the last game.
- Michael Neser - The Australian international was accurate from his first over as per usual in the last game and picked up the big wicket of Alex Hales with his third ball.
HEA Team Form
Brisbane Heat had a tougher contest in their second game than in their first but have still won both of their completed games.
