Melbourne Renegades have won the toss and elected to bowl.
====
Will Chris Lynn play? That’s the big question as Brisbane Heat travel south to Melbourne as they face the Renegades at Etihad Stadium tonight.
Both these respective sides won their opening games of the season and while we only may be a few games into BBL|07, tonight’s clash looks to be the most important of the tournament to date.
In Lynn’s absence against the Stars on Wednesday night, Alex Ross (51) and Joe Burns (50) stepped up to fill the void, although the latter didn’t travel to Melbourne and won’t play tonight after picking up a minor groin strain.
Meanwhile, it’s a quick turnaround for the Renegades after comfortably defeating Hobart Hurricanes at Bludstone Arena on Thursday night.
