The Melbourne derby will see the Stars host the Renegades in the 23rd 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 and pick up the pace for the rest of the season.

STA vs REN: Pitch Report:
Melbourne’s pitch frequently provides a perfect balance between both bat and ball. This is one place where the speed bowlers could potentially receive some decent bounce and carry, particularly early on. But at this location, spinners might not have much of a function.
