REN vs SCO Who will win the match, Today Match Prediction
Perth Scorchers is expected to win against Melbourne Renegades.
Perth Scorchers are a well-balanced unit with almost all departments covered. When the two teams faced each other in two games last season, both teams took turns in winning one match each. Scorchers have been unstoppable in the current season so far and will be looking forward to carrying on the winning momentum.
On the other hand, Renegades started off with a close win, then stayed at the bottom of the points table from the three matches played to date. They are currently struggling with the dependability of their batting order. With the return of Aaron Finch, things will certainly change for the Renegades and they will be looking to bank upon that opportunity.
