Colin Munro had a lukewarm outing against the Renegades, scoring 35 runs off 30 balls. Like Harper, Munro has a good record in the BBL with an average of 33.15. Given his experience and ability to score big runs, Munro is another top pick for your REN vs HEA Dream11 prediction team.

Nic Maddinson (2 matches, 126 runs, SR: 163.64)

Nic Maddinson has been the star of the show for the Renegades, scoring 126 runs in two matches this season. He has a strike rate of 163.64, which is amongst the best in the competition at the time of writing. Maddinson can also chip in with the ball if needed.

Top Bowler Pick

Mark Steketee (1/25 in the previous match vs Melbourne Renegades)

Mark Steketee was impressive for the Heat in the reverse fixture, conceding only 25 runs and picking up a wicket. The Heat pacer has a BBL average of 24.48 with a strike rate of 16.58 as well.

Andre Russell

Andre Russell had a big outing against the Brisbane Heat in the reverse fixture, scoring 35 off just 28 balls and picking up a wicket as well.
