On Wednesday, December 21, the Brisbane Heat (HEA) will play the Melbourne Renegades (REN) in the 10th game of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2022-23 at Simonds Stadium in Geelong. Here is everything you need to know about the Dream11 prediction for REN vs. HEA before the game.
The Melbourne Renegades have won both of their BBL matches to get off to a great start. The Renegades’ bowling attack has impressed on both occasions, despite the batsmen like Nic Maddinson and Aaron Finch’s success. In contrast, the Brisbane Heat’s batting unit failed to perform as a unit in their first game against the Renegades, leading to their defeat. The Heat will rely on their bowling attack to perform well against a well-balanced Renegades team, even though they will start as underdogs.

Colin Munro struggled against the Renegades, scoring 35 runs off 30 balls. Munro, like Harper, has a solid BBL record with an average of 33.15. Munro is another strong option for your REN vs HEA Dream11 prediction team, given his experience and ability to score huge runs.

Mark Steketee was outstanding for the Heat in the rematch, surrendering only 25 runs and taking a wicket. The Miami Heat pacer has a BBL average of 24.48 and a strike rate of 16.58.
