Jonathan Wells (34 runs) and Tom Rogers (20 runs) scored useful runs in the death overs. The Renegades bowlers then got off to a good start, Mujeeb Ur Rahman struck twice in the first six overs and the Heat were in trouble at 45/3 in 5.3 overs. But their middle order batters Matt Renshaw (49 runs), Sam Billings (40 runs) and Paul Walter (30 runs) guided Brisbane Heat to their third win of the season.
Hobart Hurricanes are coming off a loss against the Perth Scorchers by nine wickets. Batting first, Hobart were in trouble losing their top five batters for low scores, but Chris Jordan (59 runs), Nikhil Chaudhary (40 runs) and Mitchell Owen (28 runs) rescued the Hurricanes from a collapse and powered the score to 172/8. The Hurricanes then faltered in defending the total as the pitch got better to bat on and the Perth Scorchers top order batsman Zak Crawley (65 runs) and Aaron Hardie (85 runs) chased down the target in 16.1 overs. They made a mockery of the Hobart Hurricanes bowlers and handed the Hurricanes their second loss of the season.

Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Renegades Top Batters
Ben McDermott to be the top batter for Hobart Hurricanes
Ben McDermott failed to score runs in the last two matches and he is yet to make significant contributions. McDermott has a very good record against the Melbourne Renegades (571 runs). With the Hurricanes in a desperate need of a win, we back Ben McDermott to come good and be the top batter for the Hobart Hurricanes.
Jake Fraser-McGurk to be the top batter for Melbourne Renegades
Fraser-McGurk scored 55 runs in the last game against the Brisbane Heat and was the stand out performer for the Renegades. McGurk top scored in both the matches played in the tournament for Melbourne. Given his recent form with the bat, we back Jake Fraser-McGurk to be the top scorer for Melbourne Renegades.
Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Renegades Top Bowlers
Nathan Ellis to be the top bowler for Hobart Hurricanes
Nathan Ellis took 12 wickets in the last 10 T20 matches, Ellis can pick up wickets with both the new and old ball. As he bowls in the death overs, the right arm pacer has a high chance of picking up wickets. We back him to come good and be the top bowler for Hobart Hurricanes.
Adam Zampa to be the top bowler for Melbourne Renegades
Adam Zampa took one wicket in the last match and two wickets in the first match against the Sydney Sixers. Zampa is a lethal bowler and he bowls with accurate lines and lengths. The Hobart Hurricanes batsmen tend to struggle against wrist spinners and Zampa has a better chance of being the top bowler for the Melbourne Renegades.
