Peter Hatzoglou and David Payne came into the side for the win over Adelaide Strikers with Jason Behrendorff and Matthew Kelly dropping out from the Hobart Hurricanes game.

Who will win Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Renegades T20 Match?
Melbourne Renegades have had their moments this year but they lack the consistency across all positions which Perth Scorchers have. Even with Jhye Richardson still on the sidelines, the Scorchers have such a strong team.
🏆 Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Renegades Prediction
This will be Perth Scorchers final group stage game and we expect them to want to finish the stage with a victory in front of their home supporters. For Melbourne Renegades, they still have one more match to play against Adelaide Strikers so it takes the pressure off needing to get a win against the top side. We expect the Renegades to fight throughout this match but do not think they have enough to get the victory. Our prediction is for another win for Perth Scorchers.
