Melbourne Renegades look to end five-match losing streak
Perth Scorchers haven’t had the best of starts this season. In five games, they have one win, three losses and one no-result. In fact, two out of those three losses have been big defeats for the Mitchell Marsh-led side. However, after four winless games, including the no-result against Melbourne Renegades, the Scorchers finally got on board with a comfortable win over the Adelaide Strikers. They have the odds placed at 1.55 of winning this game.
On the other hand, Melbourne Renegades had a good start to this BBL 10 as they beat Perth Scorchers convincingly. However, since then, it’s been a slide. They have lost five games in a row and like last season, they are once again at the bottom of the points table. Hence, they are the underdogs in this game and have the winning odds of 2.20
