In the reverse fixture, played at Geelong's Simonds Stadium on December 19 last year, Melbourne Renegades cantered to a six-wicket win after dismissing Hobart Hurricanes for 74 all out.

But the 2018-19 champions have since managed just two wins in their next six outings, and now Will Sutherland & Co. need to win all their remaining matches to keep their play-off hopes alive.

The Hurricanes, however, are in a rich vein of form. After the Renegades defeat, they produced an almost perfect run -- winning five and one no result in six matches. With a win against the Sutherland's side, the Nathan Ellis-led outfit can go top of the eight-team table
