Melbourne Renegades, meanwhile, are on the same boat with two defeats in three games. Their batters have been below average except Jake Fraser-McGurk who seems to be playing on a whole different level. Their bowlers did a decent job but there is room for improvement. The likes of Adam Zampa, Kane Richardson & Tom Rogers need to step-up in this game. 


Pitch Report

The pitch here is generally good for batting with ample help for the pacers in the first innings and the wicket getting a bit easier to bat in the second innings. But, it was on the slower side in the first game this season with run scoring being very demanding for the batters. The openers got off to a good start before the pitch slowed down so pick top order batters and all-rounders, spinners and bowlers bowling in the death overs. The average first innigns score here is 156 runs and chasing sides have won 67% of the matches played here. 

Fantasy Value from Pitch Report

  • Middle order of both teams has struggled badly so pick more top order batters (first innigns), all-rounders and bowlers. 
  • Spinners from second innings will be important. 
  • Death overs bowlers from the 1st innings will be good C/VC choice. 


HUR vs REN, Match 13: Differential Picks

Patrick Dooley (HUR)

  • Patrick Dooley is the lead spinner for the Hurricanes and will be an excellent differential pick for this game. 
  • Dooley can turn the ball both ways and will fancy his chances against Renegades' struggling middle order. 
  • He has a 4-wicket haul in 2 games at the venue. 

Sam Hain (HUR)

  • Sam Hain has failed badly in the first two games but he's a quality player and a big score is due from him. 
  • He is a good player of spin bowling and can score big on his day. 
  • Hain will bat at 3 or 4 in this game and will be a key batter for his team in the middle order. 

Billy Stanlake (HUR)

  • Pacers have been quite successful at Launceston which makes Billy Stanlake a top pick for this game. 
  • He bowls at a high pace & gets extra bounce due to his height. He can also move the new ball a bit. 
  • Try Stanlake in Mini GLs/GLs. 

Tom Stewart Rogers (HUR)

  • Tom Rogers has had a disappointing start to BBL 2023. 
  • He has failed to pick up wickets and has been very expensive as well. 
  • Rogers will bowl the key overs and can pick up a few wickets in this game. He will be an excellent differential pick, especially while bowling 1st. 

Other Differential Picks

  • Jonathan Wells
  • Joe Clarke
  • Peter Siddle (if plays)
