REN vs SCO Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: BBL 2022/23 Match 24 | MR vs PS Dream11 Prediction Today | Docklands Pitch Report
New year, new fortunes for Melbourne Renegades? After a brilliant start to the season where they won their first three matches, they are now in freefall having lost three consecutive games with scores of just 114, 115 and 124/7.
And it doesn’t get any easier with league leader Perth Scorchers in town. Back at the ground where they lifted their fourth BBL title last season, the Scorchers have often performed well at Docklands, winning 11 of 12 matches. Their bowlers have been particularly brilliant and will fancy themselves against a struggling Renegades lineup that is struggling for punch.
However, anything can happen on the day. The Renegades need a fast start, and if they can get it, the pressure reduces on the under fire middle order. For the Scorchers, more of the same will be on the agenda, led by captain fantastic Ashton Turner.
