Melbourne Renegades vs Hobart Hurricanes Stats: Two Different Eras
In the early seasons the sides met once a year, and the Renegades had the better of it. After Hobart won the first game in Jan 2012, the Renegades won four straight seasons from 2012-13 to 2015-16, then won again in 2017-18. Their 51-run win at Hobart on 1 Jan 2014 is still their biggest.
Since 2018-19 they have met twice a season, and Hobart have taken over, winning 12 of those 16 games. The pattern is neat: Hobart took both games every other season, starting with 2019-20 and most recently 2025-26, and split the seasons in between.
Hobart lead at both main grounds. At Bellerive Oval they are 8 and 4, and at Docklands Stadium in Melbourne 5 and 3. Chasing has been the smart call: 15 successful pursuits to 8 defended totals, with first innings scores averaging 165.
