On form and momentum, the Scorchers look set to extend their winning streak. They are coming off a 21-run win over the Renegades. All-rounder Mitchell Marsh was the catalyst of the victory. He scored 86 runs off just 53 balls and helped Scorchers reach 206. Marsh has been in good form and is the leading run-scorer for Renegades in the tournament. New Zealand opening batter Colin Munro has also looked good, providing the team blistering starts upfront.
Meanwhile, the Renegades managed to put in an impressive performance against Scorchers but failed to close the match. Aaron Finch and Nic Maddinson were back amongst the runs, but the middle and lower order batters could not deliver the knockout punch. A strong show with the bat is what Renegades need to pip Scorchers.
