Pitch Report:
The upcoming game between Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Renegades will be the first game of the tournament to be played at the Simonds Stadium in Geelong. The pitch offers a bounce, benefiting the pacers but spinners have usually enjoyed more success at this surface. It is a good wicket to bat on and thus a high-scoring match can be expected
