Cricket Free Tips | BBL 2021/22, Match 17: Melbourne Renegades vs Perth Scorchers

Melbourne Renegades will face the Perth Scorchers in the 17th match of the BBL 2021/22. The Melbourne Renegades had two forgettable performances in their previous two matches, losing heavily to Brisbane Heat and Adelaide Strikers. They need to win this game to advance in the standings. Aaron Finch, the Australian white-ball captain, has returned to the squad, which will help improve their morale.
