Melbourne Renegades go into this game as slight favourites, and we expect them to win it.

They also have the upper hand over Brisbane Heat, winning 15 of the 23 meetings between the two sides that produced a result.

The toss could matter here. Chasing has been the better option at this ground, so the captain who calls right may well choose to bowl first. We expect a first-innings score of around 155, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.

REN vs HEA Pitch Report

Junction Oval, Melbourne

Conditions at Junction Oval have been fairly balanced, with neither bat nor ball on top.

Across the last 14 T20 matches here, the side batting first has averaged 152, with chasing teams averaging 129. Batting first, a side will want something around 145-160 on the board. Results have been evenly split: 6 wins for the side batting first and 7 for the chasers.

The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 140/6 (SYS-W, won), 165/5 (MLS-W, lost), 188/3 (MLR-W, won), 160/5 (SYS-W, won), 124/9 (PRS-W, won). Recent games have followed the usual pattern, with the last 5 first innings averaging 155. First-innings totals here have ranged from 112 to 192 in that time.

Wickets have been shared between pace and spin here: 63% to the seamers and 37% to the spinners. Seamers have gone at 7.91 an over and spinners at 7.28, so expect the slower bowlers to be used to control the scoring.

Toss call: a close one. Bowling first and knowing the target is the safer choice.
