Melbourne Renegades Team News & Playing 11
REN Team News
We do not expect to see any changes to Melbourne Renegades’ XI for this match. Corey Rocchiccioli has done well since coming into the team and is fully deserving of his place in the play-offs. The Renegades will be looking for big performances from their veteran trio of batters - Martin Guptill, Shaun Marsh and Aaron Finch.
REN Key Players
- Aaron Finch- the skipper has had a brilliant season in the BBL 2023 and is averaging 41.80 from 14 innings. He has scored four half-centuries across BBL12.
- Corey Rocchiccioli- the 25 year old off-spinner has taken five wickets from his three appearances for the Renegades and is yet to go wicketless in the campaign.
- Tom Rogers- only three bowlers have taken more wickets than Rogers across this competition. He also has a five-wicket haul to his name in the tournament.
Melbourne Renegades have picked up two wins from their last four with their last win ending a run of successive defeats.
