HBH vs MLR: Melbourne Renegades would look to round off the league stage with a win when they meet table toppers Hobart Hurricanes in a BBL tie at Bellerive Oval on Thursday. The Renegades come into this fixture on the back of a hattrick of wins and would want to make it four in a row.
Hobart Hurricanes have looked a class above but have struggled in the last few games. In the last three fixtures, Hurricanes have managed only one win. With two games remaining for them before the semi, Hurricanes would want to regain the best form heading into the business end. Hobart would be looking for their 10th win of the competition, becoming the only team to reach the double-digit wins this edition.
