Melbourne Renegades have won the toss and have opted to field
18:20 Local Time, 07:20 GMT, 12:50 IST: Hello and a warm welcome to our live coverage of match 36 of this season's BBL. The Renegades will play hosts to the Scorchers at the Docklands Stadium today. The Gades posted a good total on the board against the Thunder in their last game but couldn't defend it. The hosts are still not mathematically out of the playoffs race but they will need to win their last two league matches and also hope that some other results go their way. The Scorchers, on the other hand, are shaping up really well in the business end of the tournament. They posted a massive 232 on the board against the Strikers courtest Marsh's blazing 88-run knock and defended the target with consummate ease. A win tonight will ensure a finals spot for the Scorchers.
