Wicketkeeper
Sam Harper: Sam Harper has impressed with his quickfire starts at the top of the order alongside Aaron Finch. Given his ability to take on the bowlers in the powerplay, Harper should score some runs in this game, making him a must-have in your REN vs HEA Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Fakhar Zaman: Fakhar Zaman is set to make his BBL debut amid all the personnel concerns the Brisbane Heat are facing at the moment.

All-rounder
Mohammad Nabi: Although Mohammad Nabi hasn't fired with either the bat or ball, he is still the Renegades' premier all-rounder. Apart from his explosive batting ability, Nabi is a handy off-spinner who should make for a fine addition to your REN vs HEA Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Kane Richardson: Kane Richardson comes into the game on the back of a man-of-the-match performance against the Melbourne Stars and will be keen to sustain his newfound form.
