Melbourne Stars vs Melbourne Renegades prediction

Melbourne Stars have started the tournament really well and boast three points from their opening two games. Melbourne Renegades have played a game more and with two wins, they currently sit on four points but were beaten last time out by Adelaide Strikers, who won by seven wickets as the Renegades bowlers had no answer to Laura Wolvaardt’s batting.

The weather forecast is a worry heading into this one and makes the result difficult to call here. But what cannot be ignored is the form of Meg Lanning, who has started the competition extremely well with the bat. The former World Cup winning captain of Australia backed up her 60 in the Stars’ first game with a brilliant 90 not out to lay the foundations for victory over Perth Scorchers. With 150 runs from just two innings so far, backing Lanning to record 30+ runs here has to be favoured.
