STA vs REN Dream11 Prediction, BBL 2021/22, Match 33: Playing XI, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Team, Weather Updates and Pitch Report
Preview for STA vs REN Dream11 Contest
The Melbourne Derby this time will be a little underwhelming with both units downtrodden by a run of defeats. The Renegades have won just a single game thus far, and collected 7 points, whilst the Stars suffered a third defeat in a row against Perth Scorchers on Sunday, which will make Monday’s clash even more difficult, and important. There is a growing urgency in both camps, more so among the Renegades, and a win here could be the perfect opportunity to change fortunes around.
Probable Playing XI
Melbourne Stars
Joe Clarke (wk), Tom Rogers, Charlie Wakim, Glenn Maxwell (c), Hilton Cartwright, Justin Avendano, Tom O Connell, Qais Ahmad, Xavier Crone, Brody Couch, Haris Rauf

Pitch Report
Teams batting first have done well at the MCG, going by the old-school notion of “Put runs on the board and you’re halfway there”. The par score here is around 150, and teams batting first will be in a fine position to defend the total if they can anything in excess of 165-170.
STA vs REN Dream11 Prediction
The Renegades have struggled to find a winning combination, and are still looking to find a good balance. Stars have far better individual talents equipped for this fixture and fantasy managers must have a majority of their players in the side.
STA vs REN Dream11 Captaincy Picks
Glenn Maxwell: The star all-rounder and captain of the franchise is a perfect option to lead your fantasy unit in small leagues. He scored 181 runs at a strike rate of 142 and is capable of picking wickets as well.
Hilton Cartwright: For the mega leagues, you can take a chance with Hilton Cartwright as a captaincy option, who has been striking the ball beautifully this season. He scored 214 runs at an average just above 35 and a strike rate of 149.65.
Joe Clarke: Another one of the Stars’ top order players in great form, Joe Clarke has 203 runs at a strike rate of 148.18, and is a good contender to be handed the vice-captaincy.
STA vs REN Dream11 Budget Picks
Jake Fraser-McGurk: He looks a top-notch option for just 8 credit points and in his last outing against Hobart Hurricanes, he chipped in with a quickfire 21-run knock.
Broady Couch: In just 7 appearances for the club, Broady Couch has 11 wickets to his credit at an average just under 20. He is an absolute bargain for just 8.5 credits.
Mohammad Nabi: The Afghan all-rounder has been a brilliant cricketer for the Renegades in this format, and he is continuing to contribute with the bat and ball. He costs 8.5 credits.
