Melbourne Renegades Team News & Playing 11
The Renegades rode on twin fifties from Marcus Harris and Cameron White to ease past Hobart Hurricanes' total of 164 in their first match. Both contributed 50 and an unbeaten 79 respectively in the 113-run partnership between them and the team will want these two to bring their good form into this game. Dwayne Bravo and Mohammad Nabi were the pick of the bowlers. Bravo clinched a five-fer to become the first man to take 400 T20 wickets and he is going to be the Renegades' trump card against the Heat.
Melbourne Renegades Predicted Playing 11

Aaron Finch (c), Marcus Harris, Cameron White, Brad Hodge, Dwayne Bravo, Tim Ludeman (wk), Jack Wildermuth, Mohammad Nabi, Tom Cooper, Kane Richardson, Brad Hogg
Brisbane Heat Team News & Playing 11
Chris Lynn is expected to replace the injured Joe Burns who looked in good touch having scored a fifty against Melbourne Stars. The onus will be on him and skipper Brendon McCullum to provide a blazing start to the innings, especially in the first six overs. Shadab Khan bagged a couple of wickets but finished with expensive figures while Mitchell Swepson went wicketless but conceded the least runs. The Heat will rely on these two legspinners the most to apply pressure on the Renegades.

Melbourne Renegades vs Brisbane Betting Odds
Melbourne Renegades begin as favorites amongst the bookmakers to win this game at odds of 1.74 on Betfair and 1.66 on Bet365. They got their BBL 2017/18 campaign off to a good start with a convincing 7-wicket victory over Hobart Hurricanes in their first match. Although not as convincing as the Renegades, Brisbane Heat too registered a win in their first match when they beat Melbourne Stars by 15 runs at the Gabba. They are the underdogs for this encounter at a 2.3 price on both Betfair and Bet365.
Melbourne Renegades vs Brisbane Prediction
Melbourne Renegades have an upper hand when it comes to head-to-head record between these two teams, beating Brisbane Heat five times out of seven in the tournament's history. They have also won their last four matches played against the Heat and will be seeking a fifth straight win over them on Saturday. The Renegades also have the advantage of playing on their home ground and so we feel they are better placed to emerge victorious here.
Final Verdict: Back Melbourne Renegades to beat Brisbane Heat at 1.74 on 1xbet and 1.66 on Bet365.
