The Ground : Limited matches have been played on this ground in the last 6 seasons. Out of the 8 matches played here, only 1 match has been played in the last 3 seasons and that match was an extremely low scoring one with Hobart Hurricanes all out for 74.

The Pitch and Boundaries : The drop-in pitch offers good pace and bounce in the early overs but slows down in the middle overs, making it difficult for batsmen to adapt. Boundaries are very dissimilar with one side straight being 60 m and the opposite side being 85 m.

Weather : Clear skies are expected with a 10% rain chance with a little cloud cover and little windy conditions are expected, helping pace bowlers generate swing. Moderate dew is expected due to the maritime weather.

Bowling : Fast bowlers dominate here, due to the hard surface with some spin and grip for spinners in the later overs.

Batting : This has been a low to medium scoring ground with average 1st inngs score of 154 in the last 7 matches. Middle order batsmen tend to be more successful here. Anything above 160+ is not easy to chase.

Teams : Both teams are missing key players with Brisbane Heat being hugely affected. Melbourne Renegades have a new look team and with addition of Jason Behrendorff and Mohd. Rizwan look a much more balanced team with an explosive top order. Brisbane Heat would look to Renshaw, McSweeney and Shaheen Shah Afridi to play well for them.

Toss Advantage : As per the ground stats, toss is important at this venue and the chasing team has advantage.

Match Prediction : Considering all factors, Melbourne Renegades are favorites to win today in a medium scoring and tight match.
