The Melbourne Renegades, this time around have a respectable roster, and if their players perform to their ability, they might finish among the top 4 teams in the league. At this level, they have a strong variety in their bowling attack, but their batting line-up depends on the presence of two of their seasoned batters, Aaron Finch and Nic Maddinson. Andre Russell is emerging from a subpar T10 league. He will be an essential part of REN’s lower order.
