Melbourne Renegades vs Melbourne Stars prediction

The last time these two sides met was last weekend and it was Melbourne Renegades who came out on top by four wickets, an unexpected triumph as they had come into the game on the back of a three-match losing streak. This time, it’s the Stars who’ve lost three in a row prior to the derby, whilst the Renegades have won back-to-back games and are threatening a late gate-crash into the top four.

This is a high match for both teams and their respective playoff hopes. Melbourne Stars appear to have lost the sparkle that made them arguably the best team in the tournament in the early stages, whilst Melbourne Renegades are fighting hard, holding their nerve and closing out tight encounters as they did last time out, winning off the final ball against Perth Scorchers. Momentum is in the Renegades’ favour and backing them warrants serious consideration.
