Big Bash Semi - Melbourne Renegades v Brisbane Heat - Docklands

So, this profitable competition reaches the closing stages.

Renegades only lost 1 game from 8, Heat won 4, so u would think Renegades would be highly favoured, and pre-toss, they are 1.73.

Heat have Pomersbach, who won the virtual play-off, while Renegades have Hales, who was so electric in the last game, despite getting off a plane, and Murali.

Initially, I like Renegades.



Heat win the toss and bat.

Run line - 153 initially, down to 150



Hopes, (Heat) injured in warm-up, misses, replaced by Burns.
