This is REN vs HEA Dream11 Prediction. It will be the 38th game of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2025. Melbourne Renegades will be playing against the Brisbane Heat at the Docklands Cricket Ground. The match will be played on 18th January 2025 at 11:00 AM IST.
Brisbane Heat are sitting in fifth place on the points table, they have managed three wins from nine matches, alongside one no-result. Despite accumulating seven points, their net run rate of -0.794 reflects their struggles. They lost the previous match against Hobart Hurricanes where they could not defend a target of 201.
On the other hand, Melbourne Renegades, similarly, have had a difficult season, finding themselves at the bottom of the standings. With three wins from nine matches, their campaign has been marred by inconsistency. They do not have a chance to qualify for the playoffs and will be playing for pride at their home ground. Jacob Bethell has left the side.

REN vs HEA Dream11 Prediction: Must Picks
Tom Rogers (REN)
- Tom Rogers is the leading wicket-taker in this edition with 16 wickets in nine games. He can be lethal with the new ball.
- Tom Rogers can also be handy with the bat lower down the order like he showed during the knock he played against Perth some games back.
Matthew Renshaw (HEA)
- Matt Renshaw scored 240 runs in eight matches so far and he is the second leading run getter for Brisbane Heat in this edition.
- He will bat in the middle order and can also bowl a few overs of spin which makes him a good choice.
Tim Seifert (REN)
- Tim Seifert has scored 200 runs in nine matches and will also give points with his wicket-keeping. He will be a good captaincy pick for this game.
- He has been the best batter for Renegades in this season apart from Bethell and now that Bethell isn’t available we have to rely on Seifert.
