Melbourne Renegades have an ill-performing bowling attack that does not look threatening sans Kane Richardson.

Melbourne Stars' success this season has been built around their bowling attack and they have a well-rounded bowling unit with pacers and spinners. But, they are over-reliance on Maxwell and Stoinis in batting may haunt them.

We expect Melbourne Stars to win this match!

Melbourne Stars will win the match!
