STA vs REN Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 22, Big Bash League 2025-26

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for Match 22 of the Big Bash League 2025-26 between STA vs REN to be played in Melbourne.

The Big Bash League (BBL) 15 will host the thrilling Melbourne Derby contest on this Sunday. Melbourne Renegades will square off against Melbourne Stars in the first game of the day at Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The Stars are coming off a heartbreaking defeat against Brisbane Heat. They had the game in their pocket, but they couldn’t defend 76 runs in the last five overs. That must be one area that other teams notice while facing them.

The Renegades have been struggling and have three consecutive defeats now. They are not in a situation to face another defeat because it can decrease their chances of qualification. So, they need an improved performance, especially from their batting group.

STA vs REN: Pitch Report

The fourth Ashes test was played at MCG, and it was a nightmare for the bowlers. But we can expect a better batting surface for this BBL game. But still, fast bowlers will love bowling here because of the pace and bounce this wicket has.

Batting will be difficult early on, and batters who can spend some time can go big. The boundaries are also big, and spinners can use them to good effect.
