REN vs HUR, BBL 2024-25 Preview

Melbourne Renegades lost to Sydney Sixers at the SCG earlier this BBL 2024-25 season by five wickets. With a defeat early in the tournament, it is imperative for the Renegades to attain some winning momentum in front of their home crowd in Geelong against Hobart Hurricanes. During their opening defeat, captain Will Sutherland demonstrated his all-round excellence by scoring an attacking 36* and by taking two key wickets with the ball. Overseas star Tim Seifert also crafted a calculated half-century at the top of the order.

Hobart Hurricanes managed to register just four wins out of their six league matches last season. Failing to qualify for the knockouts, the Hurricanes finished fifth on the points table and held a moderate NRR of -0.268. For the Hurricanes, Ben McDermott and Macalister Wright will start out as some of the primary in-form players with the bat this time around. Senior T20 fast bowlers Nathan Ellis and Chris Jordan will be expected to make crucial breakthroughs early in the innings.
