MLR vs BH Match Prediction & Analysis
It is the last leg of league games in the Big Bash League 2024-25. Three teams are through to the next round, and only one spot is up for grabs. The Melbourne Renegades will take on the Brisbane Heat in the 38th game as both teams look to reach the next round. The Renegades lost against the Hobart Hurricanes in the last game, and the Brisbane Heat also lost against the same team.
The Melbourne Renegades have struggled with their consistency this season. The side sits at the bottom of the points table and has won only once in the last six games. They have lost the last two games against the Brisbane Heat, which will be on their minds. The Heat have their batsmen in good form, and it will be interesting if it can power the team to victory.
Brisbane Heat Preview
Usman Khawaja and his men must come out of the heartbreaking loss in the last game against the Hobart Hurricanes by 5 wickets. They lost the nail-biting contest off the last ball and failed to secure a berth in the playoffs. It is a must-win game for the side, and Khawaja expects a strong show from his bowlers as they failed in the last game.
Usman Khawaja must lead from the front and deliver a good start in this game with Nathan McSweeney. Marnus Labuschagne batted brilliantly in the last game, and he will look to add quick runs in the middle order with Matt Renshaw and Max Bryant. Tom Alsop and Michael Neser are good hitters and shall look to deliver a perfect finish.
Weather Conditions
We will see clear skies over Melbourne on January 16. The wicket will be flat and allow batsmen to play their strokes freely. The side batting first would need 170 on this wicket to feel confident, with the average first-inning score being 157 runs.
MLR vs BH Pitch Report
Docklands Stadium, Melbourne, has a good batting surface and fast outfield. We have seen sides put up big scores at this venue. Fast bowlers get a hint of assistance from the track, but it is a challenging venue for the spinners as the shorter boundaries don’t leave a margin for error.
Toss: To Bowl
The side chasing the score has won eight out of the last ten games at this venue. The wicket is challenging in the first innings, and it becomes better to bat on in the second half. The side that wins the toss would like to bowl first and restrict the opposition to a small total.
