That brings the curtains down for Sydney Thunder this season. They're eliminated, and join Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Stars as the teams that can't make the play-offs. What a terrific game of T20 cricket, though. Hope you enjoyed ESPNcricinfo's coverage of the match. It's good bye for now!

Zubair Hameed: "My man of the match is Webster! Without his 4 ball 18, the match would have been lost in penultimate over!!"

11.03 pm Dwayne Bravo: "A win is a win. Richardson was excellent, and so was Pollard in the final over. Onto Brisbane now."

Pollard to McClenaghan, OUT, slower ball full on middle stump, McClenaghan misses the slog and that's lbw. Impact in front of middle stump and Renegades win by nine runs! Renegades move to third for now, but not confirmed of qualification yet. They still have a game to go. Sydney Thunder are eliminated.

Jay: "Please please please do now bowl any No balls Pollard! Thank you"

Pollard to Fawad Ahmed, 1 run, low full toss on off stump, bunted to midwicket for only a single
19.4
0
Pollard to Fawad Ahmed, no run, back of a length outside off stump, slower ball that Fawad can't pull. Misses the shot, and it shoud've been a wide with the ball going over his head. But it's called a dot
19.3
1
Pollard to McClenaghan, 1 run, yorker on leg stump, pinged to deep midwicket as he hits it too well. No chance of a second run here. No. 11 will have to face the next ball
19.2
2
Pollard to McClenaghan, 2 runs, slower ball on off stump, muscled towards the leg side. Not hit hard enough, and allows the batsman to complete another second

W
Pollard to Green, OUT, full outside off, tries to slog this over the bowler's head, but this time Green slices it. In the air, and it's taken by the man at point. Slight drift away from the fielder as the ball comes down to Earth, but he composes himself and completes the catch

CJ Green c Wildermuth b Pollard 22 (14b 0x4 2x6) SR: 157.14

One reckons Green holds the key here. Pollard to bowl the final over. He conceded 15 off his first over. Fifteen more would do for certain for Thunder
