10.50 pm Melbourne Renegades have often been Aaron Finch or nothing. But here, after losing their best batsman, and captain, off the second ball of the chase, Cameron White dropped anchor and saw the team through. "Nice to get a couple of runs, nice to kick the season off with a win as well," he says. Hobart Hurricans threw a lot of pace on him, Tymal Mills, Jofra Archer and Aaron Summers all clocking near or above 145 kph. But perhaps they got carried away a bit, banging the ball too short too often. White was good with the horizontal bat shots, going past 5000 runs in his career and producing a controlled, match-winning fifty. Thanks for your company. Good night.
Dwayne Bravo is the Man of the Match for his five-for, which also took him to 400 T20 wickets
Dale Steyn tweets: "Been keeping a keen eye on Jofra Archer whilst playing for Sussex (tipped by Will Davis) Playing BBL now, this kid is gana be special!"
The 22-year old Took two wickets in one over and created some excitement in a chase that for the longest time seemed like a foregone conclusion. Finishes with figures of 4-1-17-2
