Key Player

Qais Ahmad                                                      

Qais Ahmad has played in the BBL before, and he hasn’t deceived the Stars this season. With an economy rate of 7.36, the Afghanistan tweaker has taken eight wickets in six outings. If he can regain his stride, the Renegades’ hitters might be in serious trouble. In the event, Ahmad has also bowled one maiden.

Hilton Cartwright

Hilton Cartwright has been the Stars’ top hitter throughout the tournament. In seven games, the right-hander has scored 215 runs at an average of 35.83 and a strike rate of 149.30. Cartwright has appeared in fine form, having scored one half-century with a top-score of 79. When bowling to him, the Renegades’ bowlers must be on their toes.

Team News

• Despite losing by 50 runs to the Perth Scorchers in their last encounter, we anticipate Glenn Maxwell’s team to choose an unchanged lineup for this match. They don’t have many choices with nearly half of their regular team in isolation.
• The Renegades will play without skipper Nic Maddinson, who has been called up to the Australia Test team, as was the case before their game against the Sydney Sixers was put off. Kane Richardson, the club’s bowler, will captain the squad once more for this match.

Melbourne Stars vs Melbourne Renegades Match Tips

A derby game is usually thrilling, but this one is especially so because of the new players in the Melbourne Stars lineup. Haris Rauf and Qais Ahmad each took two wickets in the previous encounter, but the Scorchers still managed to score 180 runs. Joe Clarke, at the top of the order, hit a fifty, but the rest of the hitters couldn’t help them as they were bundled out for 130 runs. Rain forced the Renegades’ previous match against the Sixers to be canceled.

Prior to it, they had lost badly against the Hurricanes. The Renegades are trailing in the competition and will need to be on their toes if they are to turn things around. Despite the fact that neither team is in strong form and both are in the bottom three slots, we are expecting Melbourne Stars to win. The Melbourne Stars appear to be a well-oiled machine, and we anticipate them to win on Monday.
