Preview :

Melbourne Renegades (MLR) and Melbourne Stars (MLS) will go one-on-one against each other in the 23rd match of the Big Bash League 2024/25. Melbourne Renegades heads into this game, enduring back-to-back losses against Sydney Thunder and Adelaide Strikers. On the other hand, after losing 5 matches on the bounce, Melbourne Stars finally tasted success with 5 wickets win over Brisbane Heat.

Melbourne Renegades needs to evaluate what went wrong in their previous two matches, where they lost to Sydney Thunder and Adelaide Strikers by 8 runs and 5 wickets respectively. They got belted properly against Strikers, where Chris Lynn hammered 88 runs from 51 balls to take the victory away from them. Batting didn’t go as per plan on the last two occasions, where they posted middling scores of 148 for 8 and 142 for 9, resulting in losing vital points. The form of their key batter, Jake Fraser McGurk has been an issue, who just managed 55 runs in 5 innings. At this point of time, bowling remains their main strength with Tom Stewart Rogers and Will Sutherland making a mark with 10 wickets and 7 wickets respectively. Currently, they are positioned 6th in the standings with 4 points.

On the other hand Melbourne Stars waited till their 6th game to secure their first points. They made a dreadful start, losing 5 matches on the trot, and finally got themselves in the winning position with 5 wickets victory over Brisbane Heat on Wednesday. Credit to the bowlers, who did the magic to restrict Brisbane Heat to 149 for 7, and later in the game, responsible half-centuries from Dan Lawrence (64*) and Marcus Stoinis (62) powered them home with 11 balls to spare. They still stay at the bottom of the standings with 2 points.
