Match 11 of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2021-22 will see Brisbane Heat battling it out with Melbourne Renegades at the Carrara Oval in Queensland on Monday (December 13). Both sides haven’t made great starts to their campaign and would be raring to clinch the upcoming fixture.

The Renegades started off thrillingly, defeating the Adelaide Strikers by two runs in a low-scoring thriller. However, the Strikers settled the scores with the Kane Richardson-led side in their subsequent meeting. The Melbourne-based team suffered a massive failure and walked away with a 49-run defeat.

On the other hand, Brisbane’s condition is even worse as they are reeling at the rock bottom of the team standings, having lost both their games so far. Hence, they must put their best foot forward to open their account in the team standings.

Probable top performers

Chris LynnBrisbane Heat

The dashing opener might not have impressive in his first two assignments this season. However, writing him off won’t be wise for the Renegades. The dashing opener can attack bowlers straightaway and his ability to hit sixes is hardly second to anyone. Hence, the 31-year-old has substantial chances of being the highest run-scorer in the game.

Kane Richardson – Melbourne Renegades

Melbourne Renegades skipper Kane Richardson scalped a four-wicket hauls in his last assignment and there’s no reason why the pacer can’t replicate his heroics. The right-arm pacer can contain batters in the powerplay overs and the bucket of variations in his arsenal makes him an even greater asset.

Today’s match prediction: Melbourne Renegades  to win the match.
