Date and Time : 21st December 2022, 7:15 PM

Melbourne Renegades have been good so far this season and have won all their games. They find themselves 2nd in the points table behind the Adelaide Strikers.
The Gades have batted capably so far this season and they will again require similar as games come fast. Bowling wise they can be better.
Their coach David Saker have carved out the tactics and his men need to execute.
On the other hand, Brisbane Heat lost the sole game they played this season that too in the reverse fixture against the Renegades. They will look to get the job done this time.
The Heat’ need to be more professional with their batting efforts as important games to come. While bowling wise too they need to be clinical.
Head coach Wade Seccombe will have to have his tactics spot on.
As for the pitch, it will be good for batting as teams look to chase.
Team news and possible lineups
There are no fresh injury concerns for both sides at the moment.
Melbourne Renegades XI : Finch, Fraser-McGurk, Maddinson (C), J. Wells, Russell, Sutherland, S. Harper, A. Hosein, M. Ur Rahman, K. Richardson, T. Rogers.
Brisbane Heat XI : Bryant, Munro, Renshaw, Brown, Bazley, Neser, Billings, Peirson (C), Bartlett, Kuhnemann, Swepson.
Prediction
I think Brisbane Heat will be looking to bounce back after their defeat in the tie and hence it should be a tightly fought game. But considering the home advantage that Melbourne Renegades have should make it count for them in the end which can culminate in a win.
