This is the first semi final and the players have to give their best to secure their spot in the finals of Big Bash League and play in the world renowned Champions League T20 in the coming season. Melbourne Renegades have won seven out of eight matches which has given all the players a lot of confidence. Playing from their home ground, the Etihad Stadium will give them a boost as well. On the other hand, Brisbane Heat has been an underdog amongst the squad and has slowly but steadily climbed up the chart. The team has won three out of four games they have played last.
