The 26th BBL 2025 match between the Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Renegades will take place at Optus Stadium in Perth on Wednesday. The Perth Scorchers have maintained their momentum by winning four and losing two games in six matches, which has put them second on the points table.

On the other hand, the Melbourne Renegades are under pressure after a slow start to their campaign, managing just two wins and three losses so far. The Stars' recent victory could give them the boost they need for their upcoming matches, despite their position near the bottom of the table leaving little room for error.
