Match 23 of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25 edition will see the Melbourne Renegades host the Melbourne Stars on Saturday (Jan 4) at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Both sides haven't had the best of starts as the ongoing edition enters the crucial halfway mark.
Talking about the Renegades, the Will Sutherland-led side lost their last clash to Adelaide Strikers in Melbourne.
Riding on opener Josh Brown's 66, the Melbourne franchise only managed 142-9 in 20 overs, which was easily chased by the Strikers with Chris Lynn smashing an impressive 51-ball 88.
So far, the Renegades have played five encounters, winning two and losing the other. They are at the fifth spot with a Net Run-Rate (NRR) of +0.547.
The Marcus Stoinis-led Stars have been disappointing in the ongoing competition Down Under. They have only won a solitary game, out of six. They are, however, coming into this game on the back of a five-wicket win over Brisbane Heat to open their account. Opting to bowl first, the Stars restricted the Brisbane franchise to 149-7 and chased down the score with 11 balls to spare, thanks to fifties from Daniel Lawrence and Stoinis.
The Stars are at the bottom of the eight-team competition.
