Melbourne Renegades Team News & Playing 11
REN Team News
Experienced pace bowler Kane Richardson is managing an injury but was able to play in Friday’s defeat to Sydney Sixers and we expect him to play in this match. Captain Nic Maddinson is in very poor form in BBL 2022-23 season but we think he will continue to play and lead the side.
REN Key Players
- Aaron Finch- with an average of 42.75 in this year’s tournament, the Australia T20 captain has been the most consistent of all the Renegades batters.
- Mujeeb Ur Rahman- the 21 year old Afghan off-spinner went wicketless in Geelong against Sydney Sixers but will be looking forward to bowling on this spin-friendly pitch.
- Akeal Hosein- the West Indian spinner dismissed Kurtis Patterson and Moises Henriques in the last game and he will certainly get turn and bounce from the surface in this game.
The Renegades are in a poor run of form and are looking to avoid their fourth successive BBL defeat.

Perth Scorchers Team News & Playing 11
SCO Team News
There are no new injury worries or player unavailability for Perth Scorchers ahead of this game and we expect Ashton Turner to be in charge of the same group of players at the Marvel Stadium. Lance Morris should become available in time for the next match.
SCO Key Players
- Josh Inglis- the right-handed keeper-batter is the third highest run scorer in the competition so far. He will enjoy the consistent bounce on offer on this pitch.
- Peter Hatzoglou- the 24 year old leg-spinner has picked up no wickets in the last two games against Adelaice Strikers and Melbourne Stars. However, he should find plenty of assistance on this surface in Docklands.
- Jhye Richardson- the right arm quick bowler took the Player of the Match Award in the win over Melbourne Stars in Match 20. Although this pitch will favour spinners, Richardson has the ability to dismiss batters on any surface.
The Scorchers have been beaten only once so far in the 2022-23 BBL and are targeting their fourth successive win in this game.
