Melbourne Renegades vs Melbourne Stars match prediction 48th match

REN vs STA Match 48 Predictions & Betting Tips

The second Melbourne derby of the season will be played between Melbourne Renegades and Melbourne Stars as the 48th match of the 2021-22 Big Bash League progresses. The teams will be playing this fixture at the Docklands Stadium in Melbourne on January 13, Thursday. I have taken the opportunity to pick out the best bets from the REN vs STA derby match prediction exclusively for you.

After getting off to a rather poor start to the tournament and staying in the bottom half of the ladder for most part of the tournament, the Renegades have suddenly started to look good. They have registered two wins in their last three matches which has pushed them up on the points table. As it currently stands the Renegades have three wins from their nine matches and a total of 15 runs against their names. However they will be joining this fixture on the back of a 129 runs loss in the hands of Sydney Thunder in their most recent outing. As of today, Melbourne Renegade is scheduled to play a match against Sydney Sixers before joining the Melbourne derby.

On the other hand, Melbourne Stars wrapped up a 5-wicket win against Adelaide Strikers played at their home turf in their last outing. This has helped them secure their fourth win of the season from the nine matches played till date. Now they are placed at the seventh spot with just one point behind the Renegades in the standings. As things currently stand, the Stars have lost yet again to the table toppers Perth Scorchers today by a huge margin of 47 runs. In the Melbourne Derby played a couple of weeks ago, the Renegades had thrashed the Stars by 5 wickets. Now as the teams meet again for the final time this season we have gathered the top three Melbourne Renegades vs Melbourne Stars betting tips for you.

STA vs REN Player Bet:

In spite of having some of the best players in the squad, both the teams have suffered some blows in the current tournament. However, I have picked the three top players from the Derby lined up ahead of the STA vs REN head-to-head match.

Joe Clarke To Score Over 22.5 Runs

Joe Clarke's sensational innings in the run chase against Adelaide Strikers helped them to secure their fourth win of the competition. Clarke is the man in form for the Stars. In 9 innings so far in the tournament, he has scored 286 runs at an average of 35.75. His best score of 85 has been against the Brisbane Heat this season.Considering that Clarke is playing his debut season for the Stars, Clark has been pretty remarkable. His last four outings have been particularly impressive where he has scored 83, 52, 85 and 52 in the four innings. Clarke comes with an experience of 2429 domestic T20 runs from the 92 matches he has played up until now and an average of 28.92. Clarke will be playing his second match against the Renegade this season. He is expected to strike yet again in the forthcoming fixture as well. Pari Match has offerred odds of 1.87 in favour of Joe Clarke in the REN vs STA match prediction.

Hilton Cartwright To Score Over 17.5 Runs

Cartwright is the second highest run scorer for Melbourne Stars in this tournament. In 10 matches, he has scored 273 runs at an average of 34.12. Cartwright played an impressive knock against Renegades in their earlier outing. He struck 41 from 29 balls played, which was the highest among the Star's batsmen. The Australian allrounder's scores in the ten innings played this season are - 10, 17, 41, 12, 79, 26, 23, 23*, 42 and 10. Cartwright has played 31 matches for the Star's in his career so far and amassed 725 runs from them at 34.52. In the 8 innings that Cartwright has played against the Renegades he has put together 144 runs from them. In earlier edition of BBL, Cartwright had made 239 runs at an average of 29.88. The right-handed batsman has played a total of 62 BBL matches in his career to amass 1180 runs from them over the years. Pari Match has offerred odds of 1.87 for Hilton Cartwright in the REN vs STA betting tips.

Mackinzie Harvey To Score Over 17.5 Runs

The 21-year-old top-order batter is still Melbourne Renegades highest run scorer in the tournament in spite of making only 25 runs in his last four outings. Harvey has a total of 216 runs from the nine innings played at an average of 30.85. He has been out on ducks in three of these innings. Harvey’s performance this season has been quite abysmal. The Renegades batsman had an impressive start to the tournament but has failed to maintain his consistency going forward into the tournament. His scores in the last four outings are - 2, 0, 23* and 0. Over the past Mackinzie has played four matches against the Stars and has been able to put together just 134 runs against them. In the 2020 BBL Mackenzie had concluded the series with 198 runs from the 10 innings played. In the match played against the Stars, Mackinzie had managed to stay unbeaten for 23 runs. Mackenzie Harvey will most likely fail to make a mark in the second encounter against the Stars yet again. Pari Match has offerred odds of 1.87 for Mackinzie to score over 17.5 runs in the REN vs STA head-to-head match.
