Team Previews

Melbourne Stars Academy Preview

The Stars narrowly lost by 5 runs against Sydney Sixers Academy despite strong starts from Sam Harper (34 runs) and Tom Fraser Rogers (27 runs). Their middle-order stuttered, particularly Campbell Kellaway’s slow 17(18). Bowling remains a concern with only Doug Warren (2 wickets) making an impact. The Stars need better finishing from their batters and more wicket-taking options from their bowlers.

Melbourne Renegades Academy Preview

The Renegades posted just 88/5 against Sydney Thunder Academy, saved by Scott Edwards’ quickfire 28(17). Their top-order collapse (24/3) exposed batting vulnerabilities. Xavier Crone (3 wickets) was the lone bright spot in bowling. The Renegades must address their powerplay batting woes to compete against a stronger Stars lineup.

Probable Playing XI

Melbourne Stars Academy:
Sam Harper (wk), Tom Fraser Rogers, Campbell Kellaway, Jonathan Merlo, Christian Howe, Jack Czosnek, Reiley Mark, Doug Warren, Mitchell Perry, Harry Hoekstra, Blake Macdonald

Melbourne Renegades Academy:
Harry Dixon, Dylan Brasher, Scott Edwards (wk), Cameron Hemp, Ollie Peake, Arjun Nair, Xavier Crone, David Moody, Mitch Jameson, Farzan Chowna, Aiman Nadeem
