Melbourne Renegades betting

For the first few seasons of the BBL, the Melbourne Renegades have been the city’s ‘little brother’ team.

While the Melbourne Stars attract all of the limelight, the ‘Gades have built a working-class reputation and attracted fans who love an underdog.

That all changed when the Renegades stunned the Stars last summer in one of the most memorable BBL finals yet. This time, they enter the Big Bash season as one of the favourites for the title.

We’ll look at the Renegades’ odds, their squad, the BBL fixture and best betting markets in our full team preview.

Tips for betting on the Melbourne Renegades

Who will lead the charge with bat and ball as the Renegades look to defend their title? Let’s look at the players to watch this season.

Most wickets betting:

Kane Richardson snagged a league-high 24 wickets last term and will have a big part to play once again, although his campaign may be cut short by Australia’s ODI tour of India. Dan Christian is a certified gun at this level, while Cameron Boyce has proved a very handy pickup.

Most runs betting:

Most teams would struggle to fill the void left by Cameron White’s departure, but Shaun Marsh is an upgrade and then some. He and Aaron Finch will lead the way, with the likes of Tom Cooper, Marcus Harris and Mohammad Nabi rounding out a potent batting order. Also keep an eye on teen sensation Jake Fraser-McGurk.
