Fireworks are expected to ignite when the pair resume on-field hostilities at the MCG.
The cross-town rivals have been at each other’s throats since the start of the competition, with the Renegades firing the opening salvo courtesy of an eight-wicket victory during their season opener at Etihad Stadium.
An unbeaten century from skipper Aaron Finch, the KFC T20 Big Bash League’s leading run-scorer, provided the impetus for victory on that occasion and sparked a stunning run which has provided the Renegades with a one game cushion on the remainder of the field with a 5-1 record and just two rounds to play.
The Stars remain their closest challenger after riding a four-game winning streak that came to an end last night at the hands of Brisbane Heat at the Gabba.
Despite the setback, the Stars can leapfrog the Renegades into first place with victory on the weekend, with both sides desperate to cement their positions in the semi-finals.
The stats that matter:
Play commences at the MCG from 7pm on Sunday, with the Commonwealth Bank VicSpirit playing New South Wales in a WT20 curtain-raiser from 3pm.
