Matches are coming thick and fast in the BBL 2024-25 (BBL 14). The Melbourne Renegades (REN) will take on the Perth Scorchers (SCO) in he 10th match of the tournament. This match will be played at the Docklands Stadium in Melbourne, Australia.
The Renegades have won one and lost one of their first two matches in the tournament. They are currently stationed at the second spot in the points table with a net run rate of +2.128. The Scorchers are also sailing on the same boat with one and a defeat in their first two games. However, they are at the fourth position in the points table owing to a worse net run rate than the Renegades.
As the two teams gear up for the match, here is a look at the top three captain or vice-captain choices for the fantasy contests of the match.
3. Cooper Connolly
The young Australian all-rounder has been an important part of the Perth Scorchers team. Cooper Connolly can make effective contributions with the bat at the top of the order and then bowl some efficient overs in the middle stage. He has already laid an example of his batting abilities in the first match of the Scorchers in this tournament. With his efficient all-round abilities, Connolly looks like a very important player for the fantasy contests of the match.
2. Jake Fraser-McGurk
The young Australian batter has not yet fired in the tournament. Jake Fraser-McGurk is an aggressive batter known for the dynamism he brings at the top. The right-handed batter has the ability to change the complexion of a match early with his power hitting. Given the fact that if he fires he can make a huge difference for his team makes him one of the prime choices as the C/VC for this match.

This Australian all-rounder has proven himself with both the bat and the ball in the tournament. Not only has Will Sutherland bowled well, he has delivered with the bat in pressure situations. The fact that he can make game changing contributions with both the bat and the ball and make valuable contributions with both the bat and the ball makes him a crucial pick as the C or VC for this game.
