Who will win Melbourne Stars vs Melbourne Renegades BBL today match

Melbourne Stars are set to be in action against cross-town rivals Melbourne Renegades on January 1, 2017 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. This will be the 12th match of the Big Bash League 2016-17 and live action is scheduled to commence at 6:10 PM local time.

Toss

Scores in excess of 170 have been scored three times in the last three matches at the Melbourne Cricket Ground which means the pitch has been good for batting. Since four of the last five matches here have been won by the side batting second, the toss-winning team may want to bat second. Melbourne Stars have won three of their previous four matches at this ground while chasing. So we suggest betting on them if they are going to bat second.

Melbourne Stars vs Melbourne Renegades Head-to-Head

Melbourne Stars clearly have an upper hand when it comes to head-to-head statistics as they have taken down Melbourne Renegades seven times in their previous nine attempts. The last six matches have all been won by the Stars which includes three wins at the MCG.

Melbourne Stars vs Melbourne Renegades Prediction

Melbourne Stars will be playing at the MCG – their home ground – and they will enjoy the support of the home crowd. They have a more-than-a-decent recent record at this ground with six wins from their last ten matches. They have met Melbourne Renegades here five times in the past and have ended up winning on four occasions including the last three.

The Stars will be high on confidence after their win in the first game and they will also have KP to boost their chances. The Renegades will be under some pressure following their defeat in the last match and with Bravo out of the equation, we feel it will get even harder for them to beat the Stars.
