HUR vs REN Dream11 Team Prediction Tips for Big Bash League T20 Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Renegades, 19 December

HUR vs REN Dream11: The 10th game of this season’s BBL will be played between Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Renegades. Hobart Hurricanes started the season with a bang claiming two wins in a row but lost to Strikers in their recent match. They have a powerful batting order which has been bolstered by the arrival of Ben McDermott. D’Arcy Short has been one of the consistent performers of the BBL and Hurricanes will look for him to give a solid start at the top. With Ingram, and skipper Handscomb, the middle order looks solid while Tim David has shown good form at the death. James Faulkner’s form with the new ball has been one of the biggest positives while Riley Meredith has hit some serious speeds. Hurricanes will look to get their campaign back on track after the loss in the last match.

Melbourne Renegades though have had a mixed start to their campaign. After winning their first game of the season, they lost badly to Sixers. That loss put a huge impact on their NRR too. Shaun Marsh and Aaron Finch are their strength at the top which was also evident in their first game. Renegades will look for their star openers to click. The failure of middle order will worry them though Rilee Rossouw and young Jake Fraser-McGurk are some exciting batsmen to watch out. Josh Lalor and Kane Richardson are genuine-wicket taking options with the new ball and Renegades will look for some early wickets from them.
