Pitch Report

A high-scoring game is on the cards at the Docklands with some help on offer for the pacers as well. Although the ball should skid nicely on to the bat, the batters will be wary of movement and extra bounce off the surface. As the match progresses, the pitch could get slower and bring in the spinners into play. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 160 being a good total at the venue.

Today’s REN vs SCO Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Josh Inglis: Josh Inglis is one of the better batters in the BBL, capable of holding his own against both pace and spin. However, the Perth Scorchers keeper is due for a big knock, making him a good addition to your REN vs SCO Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Aaron Finch: Aaron Finch is set to return to the Melbourne Renegades set-up after missing a few games due to injury. Although he may lack match practice, Finch's ability to get his teams off to fast starts should hold him in good stead in this game.

All-rounder

Mitchell Marsh: Mitchell Marsh has been a revelation since being promoted to number three, having already scored a ton in this year's BBL. Given that he is also slowly finding his feet in the Scorchers' bowling attack, he is a fine addition to your REN vs SCO Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Kane Richardson: Kane Richardson is one of the premier bowlers in BBL history, accounting for more than 100 wickets. The Renegades vice-captain has shown signs of form with the ball and given his record at the Docklands Stadium, he is surely one to keep an eye out for in this game.
