Brisbane Heat vs Melbourne Renegades Preview

Expectations are low for the Heat and Renegades this season, which explains the current market on offer.

The Heat are turning over a new leaf post Chris Lynn with Usman Khawaja and Matt Renshaw donning the blue, while the ‘Gades have added some experience in the form of Peter Handscomb and Jon Wells – not to mention first overall pick, Liam Livingstone.

Brisbane has won three of its last four against Melbourne, so I’m inclined to lean the way of the home side. That said, I do like the value on Aaron Finch to top score for the ‘Gades.

Finchy has averaged 47 runs in 11 career matches against the Heat, most recently finishing with 36 off 50 balls last year.

Tip: Back the Heat to Win @ $1.95 & Aaron Finch Top Renegades Runscorer @ $3.75
