10.15pm So that'll do for today's double header. Join us again tomorrow as Adelaide and Hobart do battle at Bellerive, before Renegades get right back on it to face Sixers.
Josh Lalor is the Player of the Match: "The boys are saying it's nice to have someone like myself up front. Marsh made a tough run-chase look like a walk in the park, Back tomorrow, so no rest for the wicked." Can't argue with those sentiments.
10.10pm it took them nine games to get off the mark last year, but Renegades are off to a flyer this time around! A resounding victory, set up by their bowlers and sealed by Shaun Marsh. That's more like it from the 2018-19 champions ...
As for Scorchers, a bit of a false dawn. Their bowlers had their moments but not enough of them

Richardson to Fraser-McGurk, 1 wide, they've won it with a wide! A zippy bouncer, but it flies down the leg side, eluding a flailing pull. What a soggy end to a contest that never really got going...

Richardson to Marsh, OUT, bowled him! Marsh had the glory in his sights, and he's missed a straight one! Just played around the length ball as he looked for the winning angle. A personal anticlimax after a superb anchoring innings, but I suspect it's not going to change much ...
