Melbourne Renegades 2, Brisbane Heat 0

Commentator: Deivarayan Muthu

Phew, breathless stuff. Baz ignited the 200 chase with a flurry of boundaries, bringing up his half-century off only 18 balls. The spinners - Hogg and Narine - and Thisara, with his cutters, then applied the brakes on Heat. Off his next 22 balls, Baz only managed 14 before holing out off Perera. Ben Cutting and Joe Burns then made cameos but Heat collapsed, losing six wickets in the last three overs. Credit to Harriott and Rimmington for keeping their head when Renegades' season was on the line. That is all we have for you. Do come back for the double-header tomorrow. Until then, goodbye and good night.

MB: "3 wickets, 2 runouts, 4 wides, 2 sixes. All in 1 over."

Rimmington to Steketee, 1 wide, OUT, what a bizarre finish! Off-side wide, and Swepson is run-out at the non-striker's end. The Renegades stay alive.... just. Very full and wide outside off, near yorker, but past the tram-line again. Steketee and Swepson look to scamper across for the bye. But there's a mix-up, under pressure. Harriott the debutant keeper, though, keeps his head and throws it to the bowler, who runs back up to the stumps and catches Swepson short. Drama, drama, drama in Brisbane, and the hosts finish at the wrong end of it

MJ Swepson run out 0 (0b 0x4 0x6) SR: -

Heat need 3 off the last ball. The season is on the line for the Renegades. Finch walks up to his bowler and chats with him.

Rimmington to Steketee, no run, nails the wide yorker now, Steketee reaches out, and can't put bat on ball. Just inside the tram-line, this

Rimmington to Buchanan, OUT, very full and outside off, drills a drive to Finch at wide mid-off. Buchanan sets off for the single. Finch swoops down on the ball and spears a flat throw to the bowler, who keeps his head, backs-up, and swipes the bails off to catch him short

Rimmington to Burns, OUT, very full and outside off, miscued to long-off running to his left. Smart catch from Perera. Burns swings hard, does not middle it. Ends up slicing the ball off the toe end to the man in the deep. Goes for the glory hit and holes out
