Race to the semi-finals:

Everything’s on the line for the Renegades in this match. Sitting seventh on the ladder, they can still make fourth spot if they win their two remaining matches and the Heat suffer a loss. They also need the Strikers to lose one more of their two remaining matches (the last of which is against the Renegades) and the Hurricanes to lose both their matches.

The Sixers are sitting pretty in third and could score a home semi-final with strong wins in their remaining two matches.
