10:37pm Brisbane Heat continue to be winless across the WBBL and BBL! They were in the chase for a better part of this, with Munro and Peirson scoring valiant half-centuries. But they were never allowed to run away with the chase, with captain Sutherland leading from the front. He not just rung in the bowling changes but also kept the pressure on by varying his pace. Finished with three wickets, should have had a four-for. This win for Renegades was largely sculpted by Seifert's century and his 121-run stand with Peake.
Tim Seifert, Player of the Match: "The pitch was up and down at the start. Was a big one. Had been out last six weeks with a broken finger. Had a nice knock after returning from injury. Don't think it was full flow. Hassan's run-out early in the innings was a big one for us. It was fully game on but the boys did well. No concerns. Slight niggle and they wanted me to take it easy. [Peake] Saw little bit of him last year, spectacular player."
