Perth Scorchers are favourites to win
Top of the table Perth Scorchers meet bottom of the table Melbourne Renegades for the second time in five days when they go head to head on Boxing Day at the Marvel Stadium, Melbourne. Perth Scorchers have played five and won five whereas Melbourne Renegades have played five and lost three. Read on as we preview this game. The match begins at 18:15 local time.
Perth Scorchers have been unstoppable in this year’s BBL and were worthy winners against Melbourne Renegades earlier this week. They will be highly confident of making it six wins from six.
Melbourne Renegades have a very poor record in BBL cricket over the last two seasons. However, with Aaron Finch back making runs at the top of the order, they could well be competitive again.
Seven Network and Fox Sports will show this game in Australia. In India, you can watch it on Sony Six. Sky Cricket have the rights in the UK with Willow TV showing the match in the USA. In South Africa you can watch it on SuperSport with Sky Sports showing the game in New Zealand.
BBL Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney+ Hotstar.
Perth Scorchers have won the toss and chosen to bat first in every game so far in this campaign. Irrespective of who wins the toss, we expect to see Melbourne Renegades in the field for the first half of the match.
The surface at the Marvel Stadium delivered a high scoring affair on Wednesday. We expect more of the same in this match with the possibility of both sides hitting totals over 200.
Partly cloudy with the temperature dropping from 18 to 14 degrees during the game.

Ashton Turner continues to lead a Scorchers side full of runs and excellent variety with the ball. The batting line-up is very strong all the way down to number 9 meaning they can bat in a very attacking manner. We expect Perth to kee the same XI in this match.
The Scorchers are yet to experience anything other than a victory in BBL 2021 season.
Cameron Bancroft, Josh Inglis (wk), Mitchell Marsh, Colin Munro, Ashton Turner (c), Laurie Evans, Ashton Agar, Jason Behrendorff, Peter Hatzoglou, Tymal Mills
Batsmen:A Finch, N Maddinson(vc), C Munro(c), L Evans, M Harvey
All Rounder:M Marsh, A Agar
Wicket Keeper:J Inglis
Bowler:K Richardson, A Tye, P Hatzoglou
Aaron Finch’s return to the side gave the Renegades an immediate boost and, if Finch or Nic Maddinson had been able to post a century, they could have pulled off a surprise win in the last match. We expect to see the same Renegades XI to build on the improved performance.
Although they have lost three successive games, Melbourne Renegades showed an improvement in performance in their last match.
Aaron Finch, Mackenzie Harvey, Nic Maddinson (c), Sam Harper (wk), Jake Fraser-McGurk, Mohammad Nabi, Will Sutherland, James Pattinson, Kane Richardson, Reece Topley, Zahir Khan
Perth Scorchers have a very strong historical and recent record over Melbourne Renegades.

The Scorchers are very strong favourites for this match.
There are plenty of big hitting batters with many runs behind them already in the Perth Scorchers line-up. Aaron Finch showed that he will always be a threat in this format of the game on Wednesday.
Mitchell Marsh, Josh Inglis and Colin Munro are our batting tips for Perth Scorchers. Marsh has had a very strong 2021 with the bat for Australia and Perth Scorchers.
Aaron Finch, Mackenzie Harvey and Sam Harper are our tips for Melbourne Renegades with the bat. Finch and Harvey should combine at some point to be a very strong opening batting pair.
For Perth Scorchers, Andrew Tye, Tymal Mills and Ashton Agar are our bowling tips. Agar provides an excellent pace-off option in this side.
For Melbourne Renegades, we are backing Kane Richardson, Zahir Khan and James Pattinson with the ball. Richardson has over 50 white-ball international caps.
It will take a monumental effort from Melbourne Renegades to stop Perth Scorchers in this game. Aaron Finch and Nic Maddinson put in excellent batting performances on Wednesday and will need to do so again this time. Overall, we are predicting another victory for Perth Scorchers.
