Brisbane Heat will be up against Melbourne Renegades in match 11 of the Big Bash League (BBL). Heat's have endured the worst possible start to the tournament as they have lost both their games. The team is placed last on the points table. Meanwhile, their opponents, Renegades are also placed in the bottom half of the table, winning one game and losing another.
Heat’s two losses against Sydney Thunder and Perth Scorchers have been pretty similar. On both occasions, their batters failed to step up. Against Thunder, they managed only 140, while against Scorchers, they failed to chase 157 and lost the game by 6 runs. The likes of Chris Lynn, Max Bryant, and Ben Duckett have failed to live up to the expectations.
On the other hand, the Renegades managed to win a thriller against Strikers by two runs but went down by 49 runs against the same opponents. Chasing 150, their batters were all out for just 100. The team's batting is a concern which they need to address as quickly as possible.
Pitch Report
