Melbourne Renegades vs Hobart Hurricanes - Key Players

1) Adam Zampa - Melbourne Renegades

One of the biggest advantages for Melbourne Renegades is the presence of Adam Zampa in the squad. The management traded Zampa from the Stars and he is expected to dominate the spin attack for the team. Adam Zampa is the 6th highest wicket-taker in the history of the Big Bash League however, his previous season was a disaster. This year, Zampa is expected to make a huge impact for the Renegades since the first fixture.

2) Ben McDermott - Hobart Hurricanes

When it comes to the batting unit of the Hurricanes, there is no one better than Ben McDermott. He was the leading run-scorer for the team in the previous edition of the Big Bash League. Over the years, Ben has been a consistent performer for the team and he is a huge star of the league.

3) Jake Fraser-McGurk - Melbourne Renegades

The year has been good for Jake Fraser-McGurk. Melbourne Renegades team management will expect him to continue the momentum for the BBL as well. In the previous edition, Jake was the leading scorer for Melbourne Renegades and he has played some exceptional innings in the T20 international format as well.

4) Tim David - Hobart Hurricanes

Tim David has made a name for himself in BBL and his consistent performances have given him an opportunity to play for the Aussies in the T20i format. However, in the previous edition, David’s average saw a major decline but he is a talented lower-order batsman who never gets scared of taking risks in difficult situations.
