This will be the tenth game of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25. Melbourne Renegades will be against the Perth Scorchers at the Docklands Stadium in Melbourne. The match will start on 23rd December 2024 at 1:45 PM IST.
Melbourne Renegades won their last game in style as they bowled out the Hurricanes for just 74 runs. They have an explosive top order but they lack consistency. Jake Fraser-McGruk and Josh Brown have failed to get going in the first two games. Their bowlers have been in good form.
Perth Scorchers, meanwhile, were on the receiving end of Mitchell Owen’s maiden BBL hundred. The Perth bowlers were thrashed left, right and centre by the Hurricanes batter. They’ve also lost Jhye Richardson to national duty. Despite, all that, they have a strong squad that will be eager to bounce back in this match.

REN vs SCO BBL Dream11 Pitch Report
The pitch at the Docklands stadium is generally on the slower side. Run-scoring has been difficult here but it was better in the last season. There will be movement for the pacers with the new ball and the spinners will get good assistance as well. Scores in the range of 150-170 are expected. Teams may prefer chasing.
Fantasy Value from Pitch Report
- Top order batters from the chasing side will be crucial.
- Spinners from the 2nd innings will be very important.
- Death bowlers from the first innings and all-rounders will be good C/VC options.
REN vs SCO BBL Dream11 Prediction: Must Picks
Will Sutherland (REN)
- Will Sutherland has been brilliant in the two games for the Renegades. He has been consistent with the ball and looked in good touch with the bat.
Cooper Connolly (SCO)
- Cooper Connolly will bat at 3 for the Scorchers and he may even bowl an over or two. He scored a brilliant 64 in the first game.
