10.28 pm Hurricanes hold on by six runs in dramatic fashion. They'll be moving on to the playoffs but their seed is still up in the air. They could be fourth, or theoretically get as high as three depending on net run rate though that is outlandish.
Hurricanes captain Matthew Wade: "We're doing what we can with the ball. It's challenging at times. We have a lot of allrounders and a lot of bowlers. Our starts in the first 10 overs, we were whacked all over the park but we dragged it back nicely. Our spinners are really really good. To get four overs out of D'Arcy as a second spinner is really good."
That's it from us tonight. Come back tomorrow for the final day BBL triple header. I'm Peter Della Penna, take care!

Meredith to Sutherland, OUT, thigh high full toss on middle stump... is flubbed once again skying this over mid-on. Simple catch taken on the ring. Renegades got two juicy meatball full tosses off the final three balls and could only manage one run off both. They deserve to lose. Hobart Hurricanes have clinched the final playoff spot. Melbourne Stars are knocked out of playoff contention.

Meredith to Sutherland, FOUR, overpitched on off, driven firmly back down the pitch and whistles to the rope through mid-off.
11 off 2 to win now. Six and four to send this game to a Super Over.

Meredith to Harper, 1 run, rib high full toss on the stumps, flubs a pull tamely behind square leg. Lucky to call this a legal delivery. But it should've sailed for six regardless. The fact that it went for a single and wasn't called a no ball tells you everything about the Renegades season...

Meredith to Sutherland, 1 run, full on fifth stump, driven firmly but picks out David at extra cover for a single.
Jigar: "We can safely say MR is same like PBKS of IPL. Can make an nail biter out of easy chase anytime.. "
