Melbourne Renegades win by seven wickets to end their poor season on a high and it means the Brisbane Heat won't make the finals. A very well-constructed chase by the Renegades after they had held the Heat in the field. Matt Renshaw played very well, but they couldn't get enough breakthroughs with the ball. Plenty for the Heat to think about before next season. Do they need to change the way they play?
We now know that the Hurricanes will play the Thunder in the Knockout final on Thursday.
That wraps up the BBL regular season. The Renegades, Heat and Scorchers the three who don't make it. We'll be back with all the action from the finals series beginning with the knockout match. Until then, it's goodbye and thanks for joining us.
