TEAMS PREVIEW
Melbourne Renegades Preview
The Renegades had a successful season in BBL12, finishing third at the end of the regular season. However, their new season has begun on a sour note after being bested by the Sydney Sixers by 8 runs.
Will Sutherland’s unbeaten 51 off 30 balls was the shining light in an otherwise tepid chase of 176.
Another batter you should consider is Jake Fraser-McGurk. He has had a fantastic domestic season, where he entered the record books by smashing the fastest century in List A cricket, reaching three figures in just 29 deliveries. He was the second-highest scorer of the team in the previous match, with a superb knock of 48 off 24 deliveries.
The experienced Aaron Finch, who led the way with the bat last season with 428 runs to finish in fourth on the leaderboard at an average of 38.9, will provide depth to the middle order.
Kane Richardson and Tom Rogers, who collectively secured 23 wickets last year (including seven in the crucial death overs), will spearhead the seam attack. Meanwhile, Mujeeb ur Rahman, retained after showcasing his versatility in the ODI World Cup, has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to bowl effectively at any phase of the innings without relying on pitch movement to pose a threat. He, along with Adam Zampa, can prove to be the main wicket-takers for the Renegades this year.
Melbourne Renegades Predicted Playing XI:
Nic Maddinson (c), Joe Clarke (wk), Jake Fraser-McGurk, Jordan Cox, Aaron Finch, Jonathan Wells, Will Sutherland, Tom Rogers, Kane Richardson, Adam Zampa, Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Perth Scorchers Preview
The Scorchers reaffirmed their status as the dominant force in BBL12, securing yet another championship. The consistently impressive Perth side now boasts an incredible five titles. In the previous season's grand final, they defeated Heat, with Cooper Connolly's remarkable performance stealing the spotlight in the chase to overcome Brisbane's total of 175.
In the previous season, Aaron Hardie, Josh Inglis, and Turner stood out as key contributors among the top six run-scorers in the competition. They accumulated impressive individual totals of 460, 431, and 381 runs, respectively. Notably, all three maintained a striking rate of over 140, coupled with averages exceeding 35, and collectively achieved 12 half-centuries.
Inglis has shown how consistent he can be by surpassing the 400-run mark in three of his last four campaigns. Turner, on the other hand, displayed a penchant for delivering in crucial moments, contributing pivotal half-centuries in the BBL11 and BBL12 finals, as well as last year's qualifier, where he rescued his team from a challenging position of 22 for 3. For Hardie, the previous season marked a breakthrough, and there is anticipation for him to replicate this success.
Perth Scorchers boast an impressive trio of seasoned pacers, utilizing the left-arm, right-arm combination of Jason Behrendorff and Jhye Richardson for the opening spells, while Andrew Tye consistently amasses wickets during the death overs. Together, they have amassed a staggering 330+ Big Bash wickets.
However, the spin bowling unit lacks the same level of quality, relying predominantly on Ashton Agar, who is unfortunately recovering from injury at the moment. The team's spin options are further limited to the untested Hamish McKenzie and sporadic contributions from Turner and Connolly.
Perth Scorchers Predicted Playing XI:
Stephen Eskinazi, Laurie Evans, Aaron Hardie, Josh Inglis (wk), Ashton Turner (c), Nick Hobson, Cooper Connolly, Andrew Tye, Jhye Richardson, Hamish McKenzie, Matthew Kelly
Perth Scorchers Actual Playing XI:
Aaron Hardie, Josh Inglis, Jason Behrendorff, Laurie Evans, Ashton Turner, Hamish Mckenzie, Cooper Connolly, Nick Hobson, Jhye Richardson, Andrew Tye, Stephen Eskinazi
