HBH vs MLR Match Prediction & Analysis This Tuesday, Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Renegades will clash in Match 34 of the BBL 2024-25 at Bellerive Oval. The Hurricanes are sitting comfortably in second place with 11 points from seven games. With five victories under their belt, the Hurricanes have secured a place in the finals. Now, their focus shifts to competing with the Sydney Sixers for the top position and earning the right to host the Qualifier final on home turf. A victory for the Hurricanes over the Renegades ensures that Bellerive Oval will see at least one final next week. On the other hand, the Renegades have slipped to the bottom after their latest defeat to the Stars. While they managed to defeat the Hurricanes in their last encounter, the Hurricanes have been on a five-game winning streak since then, making them the team to watch in this contest. TEAMS PREVIEW Hobart Hurricanes Preview The Hurricanes briefly claimed the top spot following a dominant home win over the Thunder, but the Sixers edged past them again on Saturday. Even so, the Hurricanes have now won five games in a row, and the Sixers’ triumph over the Scorchers confirmed the Hurricanes’ spot in the BBL|14 finals. Their six-wicket victory against the Thunder also improved their net run rate, which might play a key role in earning them a home final as the tournament reaches its critical phase. A key factor in their success has been Tim David’s red-hot form, with back-to-back blistering half-centuries down the order helping the Hurricanes seal wins against the Thunder and Strikers. The team’s top six batters have all shown flashes of brilliance at different times, with emerging talent Mitch Owen leading the charge. Owen has racked up 202 runs in six innings, including an unbeaten 101 against the Scorchers – the standout knock of the season so far. Ben McDermott is out injured for this game and has been replaced by Jake Doran. Melbourne Renegades Preview The Renegades’ season has been a mix of highs and lows, starting strong before hitting a rough patch. They won two of their first three games, including victories against the Hurricanes and Scorchers on challenging pitches at Geelong and Marvel Stadium. However, they then suffered three consecutive losses before bouncing back with a win. Unfortunately, that 42-run defeat against the Stars in their recent game is a real setback. It’s knocked them down the rankings, and now making the playoffs looks like a long shot. As they aim to regain momentum, the Renegades will look to Tim Seifert to deliver another strong performance. With 176 runs in eight innings, Seifert is their top run-scorer and can steady the innings or produce a match-winning effort when required. Captain Will Sutherland, who has scored 163 runs in seven innings, has also provided stability and will be expected to anchor the innings. Meanwhile, all-rounder Tom Rogers’ aggressive batting in the lower order has been a valuable asset. His unbeaten 49 off 31 balls against the Perth Scorchers recently helped the Renegades chase down 148 after their top order faltered. Weather Conditions Bellerive Oval typically provides a solid batting track, especially during the early stages of the game. The pitch tends to offer good pace and bounce, giving batters the chance to play freely. While spinners might get some assistance later in the match, particularly if the surface dries out, it’s not usually a major influence. The shorter straight boundaries are an inviting prospect for power hitters. Weather could also come into play, with overcast skies potentially helping swing bowlers. As for the forecast, the match is expected to be played under mostly cloudy and cool conditions, with no rain predicted. HBH vs MLR Pitch Report The average score batting first at Bellerive Oval in domestic T20s is 167. This season’s highest score at the ground belongs to Hobart Hurricanes who smashed 187-5 in 18.4 overs to overhaul the chase against Adelaide Strikers. Toss: To Bowl Out of the four games held at Bellerive Oval this BBL season, the team chasing the target has come out on top in three. This pattern hints that batting second could give teams an edge, and it wouldn’t be surprising if both captains choose to bowl first after winning the toss.
