REN vs HUR T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2023
Melbourne Renegades take on Hobart Hurricanes in Match 32 of the 2022-23 Big Bash League at the Docklands Stadium on Saturday early evening. The Renegades are in fifth place with eight points and one place behind are the Hurricanes with six points and a game in hand. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway in Melbourne on January 7th at 17:35 local time.
Melbourne Renegades got back to winning ways in their last match but do not look as strong a side without Nic Maddinson. However, we expect them to be competitive against Hobart Hurricanes.
In spite of not putting together a winning run of more than one match in the tournament, Hobart Hurricanes have played some brilliant cricket. They scored 229 and still lost the last game but we expect them to be too strong here.

Melbourne Renegades Team News & Playing 11
REN Team News
Ahead of the Melbourne derby on Tuesday, it was announced that Nic Maddinson, the Melbourne Renegades skipper, would miss the next 12 months of cricket with a knee injury. Former captain Aaron Finch has taken back the role for the rest of this season.
REN Key Players
- Aaron Finch - His first game back in the leadership role saw him make only one run from two balls. However, Finch is the leading BBL run scorer at this ground with an average of 38.86 from 32 innings.
- Martin Guptil - The New Zealander hit his highest score of the BBL 2022-23 with 32 runs from 27 balls on Tuesday. With Maddinson out injured, Giptill’s runs become all the more crucial.
- Tom Rogers - The bowling all-rounder was already having a successful season before dismissing Joe Clarke, Thomas Rogers, Beau Webster, Hilton Cartwright and Luke Wood in the Melbourne derby.
The Renegades put a stop to their four game losing run with a convincing 33 run victory over their city rivals on January 3rd.

Hobart Hurricanes Team News & Playing 11
HUR Team News
England opener Zak Crawley came into the team for the first time in this campaign against Adelaide Strikers and hit 54 runs from 28 balls. He replaced D’Arcy Short in the side and Crawley did more than enough to keep his place for this game.
HUR Key Players
- Ben McDermott - The right handed opener has sprung into form since the turn of the year. In his last two innings he has hit a combined 110 runs.
- Matthew Wade - The skipper made only nine runs from 11 balls on Thursday, but is still the highest scoring player for Hobart Hurricanes so far this season.
- Patrick Dooley - The left-arm wrist spinner has tournament figures of 12-159 and got the big wicket of Chris Lynn in the defeat to Adelaide Strikers.
The Hurricanes will still be wondering quite how they lost the last match which means they have been defeated in three of the last five games.
