Against their city rivals, the Renegades will need both departments firing in unison to secure a vital win.
For the Renegades, a victory here would not only strengthen their playoff push but also help them establish the consistency required to stay among the top contenders. With the season entering a decisive phase, this clash could prove pivotal in shaping their campaign.

The Stars’ success has been built on a balanced approach, with their batting unit delivering steady runs and the bowling attack maintaining discipline across phases. Importantly, they have suffered the fewest losses among all teams, showcasing their ability to adapt to different conditions and opponents.
