Melbourne Renegades will lock horns with Hobart Hurricanes in the 26th match of the BBL 2021/22. The Melbourne Renegades are currently in a lot of trouble, having lost four consecutive games. In the forthcoming matches, they must be more proactive in all sectors. They don’t have enough big hitters in the middle of the lineup, and they need to work on that. With four points, they are at the bottom of the standings.
The Hobart Hurricanes, on the other hand, have won their last two matches handily, defeating the Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Stars. Ben McDermott aided the success of the Hurricanes. They are also set to extend their winning streak in this game. They are in third place on the table with 14 points after three wins and three losses.
Weather
A clear sky will greet both sides in today’s match. Melbourne’s temperature is predicted to range from 12~23°C.
Pitch
The boundaries are substantially smaller than other Australian locations, so that the runs will be swift and furious. Restricting the run-flow is always a challenge for the bowlers. Whoever wins the toss should bat first without hesitation.
