What is the pitch report for HEA vs REN, BBL 2022/23, Match 3?
Cazaly’s Stadium is hosting the men’s BBL for the first time. Looks like a good deck to put huge huge runs on the board having said the bowlers will get equal aid as well. Since both sides don’t know how the wicket going to play it’s better to bowl first.

What are the Top Picks, players for Dream11, My11circle and MPL for HEA vs REN, BBL 2022/23, Match 3?
Top Pick – Batter
Colin Munro was part of Perth Scorchers that won the title last season. He played a pivotal role in the success, scoring 390 runs in 13 matches at an average of 43.33 with the highest score of 114*.
Top Pick – All-Rounder
Andre Russell is making a comeback for Renegades after 8 years. He has got enormous power at his disposal and no ground is big for him. He can pick wickets with the ball as well.
Top Pick – Bowler

Pre-Match Analysis:
Brisbane Heat finished 2nd from the bottom in the points table last season and looking to turn things around this year. They have recruited Colin Munro, Sam Billings, and Ross Whiteley as their overseas picks. They didn’t retain Chris Lynn who was a prolific run-scorer for them over the years. Wicketkeeper batter Jimmy Peirson will continue as their skipper. Cazaly’s Stadium is part of their home this season. Batting department looks sorted with plenty of big names and the bowlers need to back the batters in order to achieve success in this edition. Matthew Kuhnemann, Mitchell Swepson, and Mark Steketee had an average tournament last season for the standards they have set and need to make it up this year.
Melbourne Renegades had a poor outing last season as they finished at the bottom of the standings with only 3 wins under their belt. Big-hitting West Indian Andre Russell will be the player to watch out for them this season however he is available for only the first four matches and will be replaced by New Zealand batter Martin Guptill. Renowned overseas spinners Akeal Hosein, and Mujeeb ur Rahman will be making their debuts for Renegades. Premier Aussie players Nic Maddinson, Aaron Finch, and Kane Richardson need to set the tone upfront. Jonathan Wells who finished as the 2nd leading run-scorer last season is the biggest signing for them.
