This is the REN vs STA Dream11 Prediction. It will be the 32nd game of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25. Melbourne Renegades will be against the Melbourne Stars at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne. The match will be played on 12th January 2025 at 1:45 PM IST. It’s a must-win game for both teams and it promises to be an exciting encounter.
Melbourne Renegades are in the 6th position with 3 wins and 4 defeats after 7 matches. They have struggled with consistency this season and now they must win all their remaining games to qualify for BBL finals. Tim Seifert has failed to perform after a couple of good games. Jake Fraser-McGurk has been below average and Josh Brown too hasn’t performed as per expectations. Renegades won their last game in style against the Scorchers and will look to continue the winning momentum in this match.
Meanwhile, Melbourne Stars have been exceptional in the last three games. They’ve won three matches in a row and will be the confident side coming into this match. They are at the bottom of the table with 3 wins in 8 games. Every game is a do-or-die match for them and they’ll look to give their all in those matches. Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Beau Webster and Ben Duckett have been in good form with the bat. The bowlers also did a great job in the last match which is a great sign for them.

REN vs STA Dream11 Prediction: Pitch Report
The pitch at the Marvel Stadium is a tricky one for batting. There is ample movement for the pacers off the deck with the new ball and it’s a little two-paced as well. The spinners will get some assistance as well. Scores in the range of 140-160 are expected and it won’t be a very high-scoring game. Teams may prefer chasing if they win the toss.
Fantasy Value from Pitch Report
- Middle-order batters will be important in this match.
- You can take the risk of dropping at least one opener from both teams.
- Death bowlers from the first innings and all-rounders will be good C/VC options.
