In this article, we will be analyzing the SCO vs REN Match Prediction of Match 15 for the BBL 2023-2024. Having lost three of their four matches in the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL), Melbourne Renegades are currently seventh on the points table. Perth Scorchers, on the other hand, have been terrific, with two wins in three matches under their belt as they are currently third on the table. Hence, before challenging Renegades on December 26 in Perth, the Scorchers will be extremely confident.
Notably, regular skipper Ashton Turner has been ruled out of the competition owing to an ankle injury. Nevertheless, they have a stacked playing XI with multiple match-winners in the mix. Ace pacer Jason Behrendorff is in remarkable form while Hardie hit 85 runs off 45 deliveries in the last match. When it comes to Renegades, there is a lot of room for improvement. They are yet to open their account and bowling has been the main concern for the Nic Maddinson-led side.
