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 in BBL08 when the Renegades stunned the Stars in one of the most memorable Big Bash finals yet, but now they have reverted to type and look set for a tough season in 2020/21.
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 this season? Let’s look at the players for the Renegades in BBL10.
Most wickets betting
The ever-reliable Kane Richardson will have a big part to play once again, while James Pattinson is a great addition to the pace stocks. Cameron Boyce is the best bet among the spinners, as South African star Imran Tahir won’t be available for every game.
Most runs betting
Shaun Marsh and Aaron Finch will lead the way, with Mohammad Nabi reprising his role as the middle-order anchor whenever available. Teen sensation Jake Fraser-McGurk is one to watch, while South Africa’s Rilee Rossouw adds some international class.
