It is the last leg of league games in the Big Bash League 2024-25. Three teams are through to the next round, and only one spot is up for grabs. The Melbourne Renegades will take on the Brisbane Heat in the 38th game as both teams look to reach the next round. The Renegades lost against the Hobart Hurricanes in the last game, and the Brisbane Heat also lost against the same team.
The Melbourne Renegades have struggled with their consistency this season. The side sits at the bottom of the points table and has won only once in the last six games. They have lost the last two games against the Brisbane Heat, which will be on their minds. The Heat have their batsmen in good form, and it will be interesting if it can power the team to victory.

Will Sutherland's team has been the weakest side this season. They went down by 4 wickets in the last game against the Hobart Hurricanes. Key players in the team have been inconsistent this has hurt the team’s chances. Sutherland would expect a strong fightback from his team to win and make it to the next round.
Josh Brown and Marcus Harris have struggled with consistency, and the team expects a strong start from this pair. Jacob Bethell looked good in the last game, and he must stitch partnerships with Jake Fraser-McGurk and Tim Seifert. Sutherland and Harry Dixon must deliver big hits in the lower middle to take the team to a big total.
Thomas Rogers and Jacob Bethell must get early breakthroughs as the Brisbane Heat have a strong batting lineup which did well in the last game. Fergus O'Neill and Will Sutherland must pick wickets in the middle overs to create chances for the team. Adam Zampa is the key bowler for the team and must do well with Callum Stow.
Bethell, after a slump of low scores, bounced back with a scintillating half-century against the Hobart Hurricanes, scoring 87 runs off 50 balls. The left-hander has provided some assurance for the Renegades in the middle order, and we back him to deliver another impactful knock to close out the season.

Usman Khawaja and his men must come out of the heartbreaking loss in the last game against the Hobart Hurricanes by 5 wickets. They lost the nail-biting contest off the last ball and failed to secure a berth in the playoffs. It is a must-win game for the side, and Khawaja expects a strong show from his bowlers as they failed in the last game.
Usman Khawaja must lead from the front and deliver a good start in this game with Nathan McSweeney. Marnus Labuschagne batted brilliantly in the last game, and he will look to add quick runs in the middle order with Matt Renshaw and Max Bryant. Tom Alsop and Michael Neser are good hitters and shall look to deliver a perfect finish.
The bowling attack will face the heat after a poor show in the last game. Xavier Bartlett and Michael Neser must bowl tight spells with the new ball, as their poor performance in the last game hurt the side. Spencer Johnson is in form and must do well in the middle overs with Mitchell Swepson. Matthew Kuhnemann and Labuschagne must deliver in the supporting role.
Matthew Renshaw has scored 40, 34 & 48* runs in his last three BBL matches. The left hander has been a consistent run-scorer for the Heat and has accumulated a total of 240 runs in 8 matches. Considering this is a must win game for the Heat and his current form, we back Renshaw to play an impactful knock against the Renegades.

We will see clear skies over Melbourne on January 16. The wicket will be flat and allow batsmen to play their strokes freely. The side batting first would need 170 on this wicket to feel confident, with the average first-inning score being 157 runs.
Docklands Stadium, Melbourne, has a good batting surface and fast outfield. We have seen sides put up big scores at this venue. Fast bowlers get a hint of assistance from the track, but it is a challenging venue for the spinners as the shorter boundaries don't leave a margin for error.
We back the home team Melbourne Renegades to win the coin toss in today's match against the Brisbane Heat.
The pitch at Docklands Stadium, Melbourne offers a balanced track where the average total match score in the three BBL matches played at this venue this season is 287 runs. We predict another moderate scoring game and the total match score to be under 321 runs.
The side chasing the score has won eight out of the last ten games at this venue. The wicket is challenging in the first innings, and it becomes better to bat on in the second half. The side that wins the toss would like to bowl first and restrict the opposition to a small total.
It is a high-pressure contest for both teams. The Melbourne Renegades come into this game with a string of failures. The confidence level is low in the camp, and their bowlers must be at their best for the team to win. The Brisbane Heat have a stronger batting lineup and a good record against the Renegades. We expect a close contest, but the Brisbane Heat will start ahead.
