Will Melbourne Renegades start the tournament with a win or will Brisbane Heat be on the winning side on 15th December? Here we are with our analysis of the much-anticipated match.

Brisbane Heat vs Melbourne Renegades Chance of Winning

Brisbane Heat didn’t have a fruitful season in the previous Big Bash League. Finishing at the second last spot of the points table must have disappointed them. This season they will aim to start fresh with a brand new captain, Usman Khawaja.

Their opponents on the other hand were also the worst performers in the previous edition. But they’ve won the title in the 2018-19 edition and know how to win the big matches. Here they are now with almost the same team as the previous year and will try to make a statement by winning the 3rd match of the tournament.

Both the teams are equally competitive but we think it’s a 60/40 chance in favour of Melbourne Renegades given their experience and performance of the team.

Our Prediction

Melbourne Renegades are a stronger side than Brisbane Heat. The Head to Head stats favours Melbourne Renegades to win the game. While Brisbane Heat is also a tough team to beat, we are leaning towards Melbourne Renegades. They look in red hot form and are hungry for victory.

Our prediction - Melbourne Renegades Win

Brisbane Heat vs Melbourne Renegades Prediction & Betting Tips 2022

There is no doubt that Melbourne Renegades are the better team out of the two. The batting order is all fired up and we saw how dangerous their batsmen are in the past. We can expect some fine innings from their best performers like Aaron Finch, Andre Russell and Kane Richarson. A Caribbean showdown to say the least.

We expect nothing less than a cracking match and we believe it is going to be a high scoring one.

If Melbourne Renegades bats first, we can expect a total of more than 180 runs. If Brisbane Heat comes out to bat first, we expect a score of under 170 runs.

We are backing Melbourne Renegades to win the 3rd match.

Brisbane Heat vs Melbourne Renegades Match Toss Prediction

The surface at Cazaly’s Stadium is a bowling-friendly one and offers great assistance to both pacers and spinners. Batsmen will have to spend quality time in the middle to get going here. The team winning the toss might elect to bowl first and chase the target.

Weather Report

The temperature is expected to hover around 23°C on the matchday with 71% humidity and 14 km/hr wind speed. There are no chances of precipitation during the game. Hence, the teams need not worry about DLS and par score coming into the play.

Brisbane Heat Team Form

Brisbane Heat has not won a single game in their last 5 matches in the previous Big Bash League. They won’t be looking for the same performance in the upcoming tournament and bring out their best game for the upcoming match.

Brisbane Heat does not have their top performer Chris Lynn in the squad now and is going to play with a new captain. It will be an intriguing match to see how the new captain delivers in the next game.

Brisbane Heat will expect to start the tournament with a win to gain the winning momentum for the upcoming matches.

With the likes of Aaron Finch, Andre Russell and Kane Richardson, they surely can get back to the winning side. Nic Maddinson really needs to think something different if the team wants to regain the winning momentum in the upcoming Big Bash League.

Their opponents on the contrary also didn’t have an admirable tournament in the last Big Bash League. But they’ve won many matches against Hobart Hurricanes in the past and know how to play against them.

We are backing Melbourne Stars to win the 4th match.

Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Stars Match Toss Prediction

The pitch at MCG is one of the most balanced surfaces in Australia. Bowlers, particularly seamers, get a bit of help early on, and settled batters can play their shots easily.

Due to the gathering of moisture, the seamers may get a little more help than usual. Spinners, on the other hand, do not get much help on this surface and that will continue to remain true.

The average first innings score at this venue is 143. It cuts down to 127 in the 2nd innings. Henceforth team will be winning the toss might elect to bowl first and chase the target.
