PRS Vs MLR Match Prediction: The Big Bash League 2025-26 will be the 15th season of this competition under this name, and the 21st season of professional men’s domestic T20 cricket in Australia. Match 26 of the tournament will be between two teams having very different campaigns so far.
The Perth Scorchers are the most successful team in BBL history, winning the league on five separate occasions. Last season, they finished third in the league and missed out on qualifying for the final. This year, they have had a mixed start to the season. In their opening game, Perth defeated the Sydney Sixers before losing in their second match to the Brisbane Heat in a record-breaking game, followed by a loss to the Hobart Hurricanes. Then, they have won two games in a row, against the Sydney Thunder and the Hobart Hurricanes. Most recently, they beat the Adelaide Strikers.
With four wins, two losses, eight points, and a stellar net run rate in six games, the Scorchers are second on the points table.
Meanwhile, the Melbourne Renegades are one-time BBL champions, winning the league all the way back in 2018-19. Last season was a forgettable one for them, as they finished sixth on the points table, well outside top-four contention. This season, they have gotten off to a poor start. While they did defeat the Brisbane Heat in their first match, they were thrashed by the Hobart Hurricanes in their second. This was followed by two other losses, to the Hobart Hurricanes and the Sydney Sixers. Most recently, they defeated the Melbourne Strikers.
With two wins, three losses, four points, and a negative net run rate in five matches, the Renegades are seventh on the points table

PRS Vs MLR Match 26 Optus Stadium Pitch Report
A far cry from its fearsome images of Australian pitches in the past, the pitches of the Optus Stadium (Perth) have been more batting-friendly in recent years, especially in limited-overs cricket. While there is still a bit of a bounce to the surface here, it mostly helps the ball to come nicely onto the bat. In the duration of a 50-over innings, towards the end, the ball starts gripping the pitch a little more, bringing spinners into the game. The boundary dimensions here are a bit lopsided, seeing that this is a multi-purpose stadium. While the square boundaries average about 68m in length, the straight boundaries are as long as 82m.
