REN vs HUR Dream11 Prediction Today Match 8th: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Captain & Vice-Captain Choices, Playing XI – Big Bash League 2025-26

REN vs HUR Match 8, Dream11 Team Prediction for Big Bash League 2025-26 Preview: The 2018-19 winner Melbourne Renegades have had a good start to the 15th edition of the Big Bash League (BBL 2025-26). They beat Brisbane Heat in a high-scoring game. Tim Seifert slammed the first century of this season. He was unstoppable and scored 102 off 56 balls. Oliver Peake also scored a 29-ball 57, and the Renegades became the first team to cross the 200-run mark in the BBL 2025-26. They will now face the defending champion, Hobart Hurricanes. 

These two will be up against each other on Sunday at Simonds Stadium in Geelong. This game will start at 1:45 PM IST. The Hurricanes are coming off a defeat against Melbourne Stars. Not having Jake Weatherald and Beau Webster has certainly weakened their batting unit. They have tried Nikhil Chaudhary and Rehan Ahmed in the top order, which hasn’t helped them in two games. So, they can change their batting order to get a win here.

REN VS HUR Dream11 Team Prediction – Who Will Win? 

Hobart Hurricanes have a good record against Melbourne Renegades in the BBL. But the previous results of the two teams look a bit different. The Hurricanes do have a little weaker batting unit. They have excellent bowling resources, but with the game evolving so much, defending 155-165 can be tough. But they need runs from their batters. 

The Renegades have had only one game so far, but they showed a better batting performance. But then, their bowling can be vulnerable when put under pressure. The toss will be crucial here because there is a prediction of rain on Sunday in Geelong. But we believe Melbourne Renegades will start this game as favorites.
