Who will win Melbourne Renegades vs Perth Scorchers, BBL 2020?

Melbourne Renegades and Perth Scorchers, the bottom two teams in the 2019-20 Big Bash League table, face each other at Geelong’s Kardinia Park on January 7. The match is scheduled to take place at 19:10 local time.

The Renegades have lost six from six so far this season, despite having come into the tournament as defending champions. Their poor form continued when they posted 142/9 against Melbourne Stars at the MCG and went on to lose by eight wickets.

Perth Scorchers have only done slightly better so far, however – defeat to Hobart Hurricanes by eight runs last time out, as they fell short chasing 181 to win, was their fourth loss of the season compared to just two wins.

MLR vs PRS Toss Prediction

Perth lost the toss for the first time in a while last time out and they were asked to field first. They may choose to do that this time though, on a more balanced wicket.

MLR vs PRS Weather Report

While it could be humid and windy in Geelong, a small amount of cloud cover should bring no other concerns with the chance of rain very low and temperatures in the high teens through the evening.

MLR vs PRS Pitch Condition

The pitch is a well-balanced one, offering something for everyone – hence its inclusion in the list of venues for the T20 World Cup.

Melbourne Renegades Team News & Playing 11

MLR Team News

Tom Andrews continued in the derby against Melbourne Stars, with Harry Gurney having flown home for his brother’s wedding recently and then been found to have strained his hamstring. The Englishman is out for a couple of weeks at least. The Gades still have Aaron Finch and Kane Richardson available, but this will be their last match before they link up with Australia’s limited-overs squad.

MLR Key Players

Shaun Marsh: Hit a half-century when these teams last met and has added 40 and 43 in his last two matches to continue his individual good form. He now has 233 runs in this year’s tournament.

Aaron Finch: The Renegades captain will want to sign off in style after not yet hitting top form in this year’s tournament. He has hit two half-centuries and has 191 runs in total, but the Australian limited-overs captain is capable of much more.

Kane Richardson: Another looking to sign off with a bang, the paceman took 1-34 last time out, while the Scorchers are one of two teams he has claimed a four-wicket haul against this season. He has now bowled in 100 T20 innings, claiming 124 wickets in total.

MLR Team Form

Melbourne Renegades have now lost six from six after derby defeat to Melbourne Stars. After being unable to defend 153/6 against Sydney Sixers in their previous game, they scored 142/9 against the Stars with Shaun Marsh top-scoring on 43. They took just two wickets in reply, however, and lost by eight wickets with seven balls to spare.

MLR vs PRS Dream11 Prediction

Wicket-keeper

Josh Inglis and Sam Harper both open the batting so they are both good value at eight credits apiece. Inglis has out-scored Harper so far, however.

Batsmen

Aaron Finch will be looking to sign off with a flourish and he is always worth selecting – even at 10.5 credits. Shaun Marsh and Cameron Bancroft are both 9.5 credits, but Marsh is in good form and both are worth picking. Lower down the pricing scale, Liam Livingstone is just 8.5 credits but if he hits top form again, which he has struggled to do in this tournament, that price will soon look an absolute bargain.

All-rounders

On the all-rounder front, Perth Scorchers boast both Mitchell Marsh and Ashton Agar. The former is more prominent with the bat and the latter with the ball but they are both key all-round players.

Bowlers

That leaves four bowling spots, and Chris Jordan and Fawad Ahmed are both key components of the Scorchers’ attack. For the Renegades, Kane Richardson took four wickets when these teams last met and you still need one more Gades player at this point. Given Harry Gurney is now injured and Richard Gleeson has scored just 87 points, Cameron Boyce at 8.5 credits looks the best option.

Captain/Vice-captain

Both teams have struggled this season because neither have a player who is consistently performing well. Shaun Marsh is probably the closest for the Gades, and he is worth at least a vice-captain slot. For the Scorchers, Chris Jordan and Fawad Ahmed are key bowlers. The latter has been in good form and could be another to consider for at least vice-captain.

Perth Scorchers Team News & Playing 11

PRS Team News

Ashton Turner missed the match against Hobart Hurricanes due to illness, but the Scorchers will be keen to have him back if he is fit to face the Renegades. Tim David took his place last time out in what was the only change from the win against Brisbane Heat.

PRS Key Players

Liam Livingstone: Still to live up to expectations, but the big-hitting Englishman should not be overlooked. He took one of only two wickets to fall last time out too with his part-time spin bowling.

Chris Jordan: Could not add to his eight wickets last time out and fell cheaply with the bat too, but that is not a reflection on his recent form having starred for England in New Zealand and hit the franchise circuit in top shape too.

Fawad Ahmed: Took his eight wicket of the tournament last time out, following up the 3-16 he took in the win against Brisbane Heat with 1-25 last time out.

PRS Team Form

Perth Scorchers could not back up what was only their second win of the BBL 2019-20 tournament against Brisbane Heat when they faced Hobart Hurricanes last time out. Against Brisbane, Fawad Ahmed took 3-16 as they bowled the Heat out for 109 to claim a 40-run win.

They conceded 180/2 against Hobart, however, and could only reach 172/8 in reply – a scoreline which flattered them, considering they were reduced to 136/8 with only 16 balls remaining.
