Heat Vs Renegades Review


  • After setting what should have been a total they could defend quite comfortably, the Heat ended up letting the Renegades off the hook after getting them under pressure during the chase. 
  • Poor captaincy was an issue here, with Chris Lynn taking off Badree who had bowled two overs for just 7 and bringing on seamers, with the next three overs going for 10, 10 and 17.
  • The Heat's batting looked strong, with Ben Cutting smashing vital runs down the order. With him coming in late on, his run line might be on the low side, and backing his overs should be a money-maker. 
  • For all the Renegades big names, Cam White to me looked their strongest bat. Chris Gayle struggled with the short ball, and most sides should pepper him with some chin music on these bouncy Australian pitches, so he could struggle with that. With White's quality, he'll be another player I'll be looking to take overs on his run lines, or buy his runs. 
  • Overall, the Heat look better than last season, but their bowling was quite poor, and choked under pressure. If they find themselves in a similar situation again, I'll certainly be opposing them, especially if Badree has bowled out.
