– Maxwell might be a good captain choice considering his excellent numbers at venue & H2H matches and due for a top knock from last 4 matches.
– Taking risk on Aaron Finch as VC who has averaged approx 40 with bat in 16 H2H innings.
– Mackenzie Harvey will be a must pick considering his decent numbers at venue and H2H innings.
– Can take anyone from Hilton Cartwright or Nic Maddinson as both are hit or miss type of batters.
– Expecting atleast 25-30 fantasy points from Zahir Khan who haven’t went wicketless at venue and H2H matches.
– Reece Topley can be picked at the place of Pattinson especially if Renegades gets to bowl in first innings.

– Going heavy on Melbourne Renegades as they’re a bit favourites to win this match considering the unavailability of some big names in Stars lineup.
– Kane Richardson might be another good captain choice especially while bowling first.
– Shaun Marsh might be a decent punt especially if any of the batter from top three depart early.
– Dropped Joe Clarke as he might not go big in three consecutive innings.
– Can take any batter of Melbourne Renegades at the place of Brody Couch.
– Must try Glenn Maxwell as C/VC in 10-20-339 members league also as he’s due for a big knock from last 4 innings.

– Dropped Aaron Finch as he has continuous failures at venue in more than 5 innings.
