Here are the three batters who might stand out in the match between Melbourne Renegades and Melbourne Stars in the BBL 2024/25 –
Josh Brown
Melbourne Renegades haven’t had a great batter this season. It’s one of the main reasons behind them being in the bottom half of the table. Josh Brown has been the better of the lot. The emerging batter has 141 runs in 6 innings at a decent batting average of 23.50 and a good batting strike rate of 156.66 including a fifty to his name. The failure of batters at the other end has hampered the chances of the Renegades.
Glenn Maxwell
Glenn Maxwell has been batting well in the last few games after not having a good start to the BBL 2024/25. The star batter has 131 runs in 6 innings at a batting average of 32.75, at a sensational batting strike rate of 189.85, including a fifty to his name. The experienced batter is one of the best middle order batters of the season so far. He will be key for the Stars to attack the bowlers in the middle overs phase.
Ben Duckett
Ben Duckett has been one of the best batters of the tournament. The English batter has arguably been the best batter of his side with consistent performances. In 6 innings, the Southpaw has 222 runs at a batting average of 37.00, at a great batting strike rate of 155.24, including 3 fifty-plus scores. Duckett either gets dismissed for a duck or performs well with aggressive knocks at the top.
