By Pranob Thachanthara

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Renegades match. We are covering PS vs MLR Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the Big Bash League 2018-19 match. The match is to be played at Docklands Stadium, Melbourne.

Perth Scorchers had a good season last year and were the semi-finalists of BBL’17. They ended on top of points table however, they lost the semi-final by a big margin against Hobart Hurricanes. And they have a similar squad this year too and are one of the favorites to win the trophy because of their all-around players and lethal pace attack. They will miss the services of Shaun Marsh and Cameron Bancroft. They will hope to get early momentum by giving a tough challenge to Melbourne Renegades.

Melbourne Renegades also were the semi-finalists of BBL’17 but were unlucky to lose it by one run against Adelaide Strikers. They will miss the services of skipper Aaron Finch and Marcus Harris due to national duty. Dwayne Bravo’s absence will also hurt them. However, They still have a strong squad led by Tom Cooper. With about six debutants in their 13 men squad, they will hope to freshen up things and get a good start to this season.

A good match can be expected between both teams.
