The 14th match of the Big Bash League 2022-23 will see the Hobart Hurricanes locking horns with Melbourne Renegades at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart, both teams are well-matched and will be an entertaining tussle for 2 points. Hobart Hurricanes lost the opening clash against Melbourne Stars but went on to defeat Scorchers by eight runs in their next game. The Hurricanes are entering this game on the back of a 6 runs defeat in a rain-curtailed game. The left-arm unorthodox spin of Patric Dooley has been mighty effective, he took a spectacular 4/16 against defending champions Perth Scorchers in their second game and has looked threatening in the other games as well. Tim David has been a tremendous form in this edition of the BBL and will be looking to replicate the same in this encounter as well. The Hurricanes, are still searching for their first title in the competition after finishing as the runner-up twice.

Melbourne Renegades on the other hand, have won all their matches and are placed on the 2nd position on the points table with 6 points and have played 1 game less than Adelaide Strikers who are the table toppers with 6 points as well, but have a better run rate than the Hobart Hurricane. The Nic Maddinson-led side have been formidable so far with Andre Russell and Akeal Hosein turning out spectacular with their jobs. Melbourne Renegades all-rounder Jack Prestwidge joins the 14-man squad for the match against the Hobart Hurricanes. Andre Russell will play his final game for the Renegades this season and will be replaced by Martin Guptill.
