The Melbourne derby will see the Renegades host the Stars in the 36th match of the Big Bash League 2023-24. Melbourne Stars (STA) have picked up the form after a rusty start to the season. The Melbourne Renegades (REN) on the other hand have not been consistent at all with just one win. This will surely be a match the Renegades would hope to win despite being eliminated from the tournament already.

REN vs STA: Pitch Report:
Docklands Stadium in Melbourne has a pitch that is suitable for bowlers as well as batters. The ball lands onto the bat nicely in the first portion of the game, which makes timing strokes and scoring boundaries comparatively simple. However, as the game goes on, spinners become more important and it becomes harder for hitters to get into a rhythm. The team that wins the toss is likely to decide to bat first to make use of the venue’s distinctive pitch characteristics, given the advantageous early circumstances.
