Preview:

It’s time for Melbourne Derby in Big Bash League. The 27th match of the season will bring Melbourne Stars up against Melbourne Renegades at Melbourne Cricket Ground. Both sides have been pretty inconsistent in the season and will look to get back to the top in latter part of the stages. Talking about their last games, Melbourne Renegades faltered against mighty Perth Scorchers, while Marcus Stoinis-powered Melbourne Stars registered an 8-run win against Adelaide Strikers.

Toss Prediction:

Melbourne Stars have a better chance to win the toss as they have won the toss in their last two fixtures. Meanwhile, the Renegades have lost tosses in their two previous games.

Win Possibility:

Melbourne Stars are coming on the back of a comprehensive victory against Adelaide Strikers and will be high on confidence when they will take on Renegades. Stars have a good balance squad as Joe Clarke, Thomas Rogers and Marcus Stoinis are making key contributions with the bat, and Trent Boult, Liam Hetcher, and Adam Zampa are strengthening their bowling department.

Average powerplay and first innings score:

The surface at MCG will provide a lot of help to the bowlers as they will be able to get a good bounce. The application will be key. The power-play score is predicted to be around 42-52, while the first-inning score is likely to be around 155-165.
