Melbourne Renegades
Melbourne Renegades will lock horns with Hobart Hurricanes in the 26th Match of the Big Bash League 2021 as Docklands Stadium in Melbourne will host this fixture. Renegades have had a disappointing run in this edition so far as they are currently placed at the bottom of the points table with 4 points. They managed to secure just a single win in the five matches they have played so far.
They lost their last two matches playing against Perth Scorchers where batting first Renegades posted a total of 151 Runs on board for the Scorchers to chase. Their star batter, Aaron Finch has been currently struggling with his form and failed to score big in the last fixture. Mackenzie Harvey and Sam Harper put up an opening partnership of 70 odd runs but after their dismissal, the whole batting order fell to pieces.
In return, the Scorcher’s lethal top order crushed the Renegades bowlers as they failed to take wickets and kept leaking runs. Only Zahir Khan and Nic Maddinson managed to take a single scalp each while the other bowlers proved to be expensive.

Their last win came against Adelaide Strikers where batting first the strikers posted a target of 175 Runs at the end of 20 overs. Leading the bowling attack for Hurricanes was Riley Meredith who picked three major wickets. But it was Ben McDermott who starred with the bat for Hurricanes and hammered 110 Runs in 60 balls including 12 fours and 5 sixes to take his side to victory.

REN vs HUR, Who will win the match, Today Match Prediction
Hobart Hurricanes are expected to win against Melbourne Renegades.
While Hobart Hurricanes have players that have done well in the T20 format individually. They came on top of Adelaide Strikers in their last fixture and will be backed by a winning momentum. They are currently favorites to win this contest. Renegades are coming into this game after some bad performances from their bowlers, which cost them their last match.
Given the past encounters between these two sides, the Hurricanes have emerged victorious on four out of five occasions and are certainly a stronger side than the Renegades with their in-form batsmen. While Aaron Finch is still struggling with his poor form the other batters are on a similar page.
