Melbourne Renegades
The Renegades will look to bounce back quickly after their defeat in the first match against the Sydney Sixers. In their first match of the tournament, the Renegades were tasked with chasing down a target of 176 runs in their 20 overs.
Jake Fraser-McGurk and Will Sutherland tried to take the team past the finish line, but their efforts needed more. The Renegades scored 167 for losing seven wickets in their 20 overs and lost the match by eight runs.
The Renegades will be eager to win this match and get off the mark in the points tally. But the task ahead will be challenging as they will face the most successful team in BBL history, Perth Scorchers.
