Melbourne Derby Results: Season by Season
The Renegades won both derbies in the first season, 2012-13, including an 8-wicket win in the very first one. The Stars then took over completely, sweeping 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 for six straight wins. That run holds the two widest margins in the fixture: a 76-run win at the MCG on 20 Dec 2013, built on the Stars’ 208/7, and a 112-run hammering at Docklands on 3 Jan 2015, when the Renegades managed only 57.
Since then the derby has been far more even. The Stars swept again in 2019-20 and 2024-25, the Renegades in 2022-23, and most other seasons ended one apiece.
Chasing is the clear pattern: 20 of the 29 derbies have gone to the team chasing, and first innings average only 159. The Stars have done better at both grounds, 10-5 at Docklands and 8-6 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
