10.20pm How do so many of these games come alive so late? It was a cruise of a run-chase till the last few overs when bats got stuck in the turf, needless run-outs and exotic scoops brought the game back. But so hard it is to defend 130 that in spite of that, the Perth Scorchers romped home with six balls to spare.

In the end, the Renegades' score was just not enough. Brad Hogg, Dwayne Bravo and some disciplined bowling made things interesting for a while, but it was always going to be a tough task.

Richardson to Turner, SIX, that's it, done with an over to spare! What was the fuss about? Full and wide outside off, sliced over point. No one there and it clears the boundary and the Scorchers have won three in three

2
Richardson to Turner, 2 runs, overthrows! There is a direct hit at the bowler's end. It's chaos. Terrific yorker is jammed out towards short cover. Richardson picks up, turns around and hits the stumps at the bowler's end. He is in and they'll make an overthrow

6 off 8. Tye is in

Richardson to Richardson, OUT, run-out! T20 madness. Full and wide outside off, sliced to point. The batsmen go through for one, the point fielder picks up and throws to Richardson, who takes off the bails at the bowler's end. Hodge at point. That's experience. Run-out by a mile

JA Richardson run out 2 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

Richardson to Richardson, 1 run, a yorker around middle, jammed out towards the bowler, who runs all the way in his follow-through to take off the bails, but the batsman has made it

Bravo to Richardson, 1 run, a slower full toss, nudged to deep square leg. That's what Inglis should have done

Richardson.

W
Bravo to Inglis, OUT, that's absolutely crazy. What was that all about? Bravo uses the slower ball more often than the normal delivery so why is Inglis trying to play a lap scoop with 9 to win off 14 balls. He misses, the off stump is hit. Poor game awareness

JP Inglis b Bravo 7 (7b 1x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

Bravo to Inglis, FOUR, slower full toss outside off, 115 kph, inside-edged past the stumps for three. Wow, Hodge pulls it back. That could have so easily hit the middle of middle, but it runs away down to fine leg. He pushed that boundary back, and stepped on the real estate where the boundary would have been, so four.

1, dot, dot. Pressure. 13 off 15

Bravo to Inglis, no run, 122 kph, another dot, full and straight, driven back to the bowler

Bravo to Inglis, no run, a slower delivery outside off, hit away to cover. Some cheers from the crowd. This game should not have been this tight

Bravo to Turner, 1 run, slower ball outside off, pushed to long-off

Bravo, he has two overs left, but is it too late?

END OF OVER:

Hot Lips Glover: "That was not out. Aren't you meant to pull the stump out and hold it with one hand?" Not necessarily. It's just easier to do that than uproot a stump like Ludeman did.

Mohammad Nabi to Inglis, 2 runs, chips down and works the ball to deep square leg for a couple more. Chippy, nippy runs

18 off 22 balls. Five down.

16.2
W
Mohammad Nabi to Turner, OUT, more flight on leg, nudged to midwicket. There is a direct hit at the batsman's end from the fielder, the ball ricochets towards fine leg. Voges calls for the run, but his bat jars into the turf as he completes the run and Ludeman takes the throw from fine leg, and uproots a stump (he had to because the bails were off already) to find Voges short. How does this happen? What an amazing sequence of events.

AC Voges run out 24 (18b 2x4 1x6) SR: 133.33
