Team Performance

Melbourne Renegades: Team Preview & Recent Performance

The Melbourne Renegades have hit their straps at just the right time, stringing together three wins on the bounce to get their BBL|15 campaign back on track. Last Sunday’s four-wicket win over the Melbourne Stars was particularly sweet, breaking a three-game losing streak against their cross-town rivals. If they can do the double over the Stars this season, it’ll only be the third time they’ve managed it in BBL history.

Tim Seifert’s been the standout performer with the bat, piling on 187 runs already. He’s only 13 short of reaching 200 for the season, which would make him the seventh Renegades player to hit that mark more than once—joining names like Aaron Finch, Sam Harper, and Shaun Marsh. The way the Renegades are playing right now, they’ll fancy their chances of keeping this run going.

Melbourne Stars: Team Preview & Recent Performance

The Melbourne Stars couldn’t have asked for a better start to BBL|15, winning their first four matches straight and looking like the team to beat. But cricket’s a funny game, and they’ve now dropped three on the trot, leaving them desperate to snap this losing streak before it derails their season completely.

The good news is they’re still sitting pretty in third spot on the ladder with a decent net run rate of 0.722, so their finals spot isn’t under immediate threat. There’s been a strange pattern in their recent games too—the last seven Stars matches have all gone the way of the team bowling first, with Melbourne winning four of them. They need to get back to what was working early on and stop the rot before this losing run becomes a real problem. The talent’s there, they just need to put it together again.
