REN vs HEA Dream11 Prediction, Match 2, Big Bash League Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Updates

The Melbourne Renegades are set to face the Brisbane Heat in the 2nd match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2025-26 at the GMHBA Stadium, South Geelong in Victoria on Monday, December 15.

Preview

In the second game of the BBL 2025-26, Melbourne Renegades (REN) are set to face Brisbane Heat (HEA). The Melbourne Renegades had a disastrous last season, winning just four of their 10 matches and finishing sixth on the points table, failing to qualify for the playoffs. However, this time, the addition of players like Jason Behrendorff, Mohammad Rizwan and Brendan Doggett to the team will definitely be beneficial. Renegades fans will certainly be hoping for a good performance from captain Will Sutherland.

On the other hand, last season was also disappointing for the Brisbane Heat, winning just three out of 10 matches, leaving them seventh in the points table and failing to qualify for the play-offs. However, the arrival of some good players has strengthened the team’s bowling this time, which they can benefit from, and their fans will be expecting them to do well this season.

Pitch Report

The pitch at GMHBA Stadium, South Geelong in Victoria, is a neutral surface. Helpful for both batters and bowlers. However, it is a small ground, due to which there is a slight upper hand for batters, but in cloudy weather, the initial speed of the ball helps the fast bowlers. Fast bowlers get swings early. The average first innings score was 152, so a similar total will be expected in this match. The toss will be crucial.
