Big Bash League 2022-23, Match 32, Melbourne Renegades vs Hobart Hurricanes: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

The Melbourne Renegades and Hobart Hurricanes will face off in Match No. 32 of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2022-23 on Saturday, January 7. The match will take place at the Docklands Stadium in Melbourne.

The Hurricanes, led by Matthew Wade, had a great chance of securing back-to-back wins over the Adelaide Strikers on Thursday, January 5. However, that wasn’t the case as they lost the match at Adelaide Oval after failing to defend 229 on a batter’s paradise.

Caleb Jewell, Ben McDermott and Zak Crawley scored half-centuries after which Tim David played a cameo. Thereafter, Patrick Dooley got two important wickets. But their efforts went in vain as Matt Short’s hundred robbed them of a well-deserved victory.

The Renegades, on the other hand, are placed at fifth in the points table with a net run rate of +0.007. However, a 33-run win over the Melbourne Stars in their previous game would give them a lot of confidence. It also brought an end to their four-match losing streak.

After being put in to bat first, the Renegades put 141 on the board. Martin Guptill, Shaun Marsh and Mackenzie Harvey scored in their 30s. Thereafter, Tom Rogers picked up five wickets in four overs and helped the Renegades restrict the Stars to 108 for nine.
