Melbourne Renegades and Hobart Hurricanes will meet in the 32nd Big Bash League match in 2022-23 at Docklands Stadium in Melbourne. Since BBL 12 has reached its halfway point, each match will be of the utmost significance going forward. Melbourne Renegades would like to begin a winning streak after their most recent victory. Since this is Akeal Hosein and Mujeeb ur Rahman’s final BBL12 match, they would both like to make an impression.
Due to an injury, Shaun Marsh will miss this match. In the most recent match, the Hobart Hurricanes scored their highest BBL score yet, but they still lost. This is a huge advantage for the side because the batters are currently performing exceptionally well. The team will benefit from the bowlers’ ability to find rhythm.

Docklands Stadium pitch report
The current Big Bash League season’s third match will take place at Melbourne’s Docklands Stadium. The Melbourne Renegades’ base is here. Because there is support for both bowlers and batters, this pitch has proven to be a good track for Twenty20 matches. Additionally, this stadium is closed, so the weather won’t be a problem.
The bounce on this track is even and even because it is a flat track. Here, the batters can play their shots well because they can rely on the bounce. The batters’ job becomes even easier with a faster outfield. While the remaining dimensions are suitable for batters, one side of the boundary is on the larger side.
As the match progresses, this track becomes somewhat sluggish, making it difficult for batters to select spinners in the second half. In two games played here, the chasing teams won by an average of 165 runs in the first innings. Upon winning the toss, either captain may choose to chase.
