- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.4 99 kph, given! That's an iffy decision. Flat and straight, did it pitch outside leg? If it didn't, there is no way that one straightened to hit off stump. Given out on the shot, more than anything. Short and straight, Harris misses a pull, struck in front of off, but with that angle, surely there was too much doubt? Pitched outside leg and missing off stump, says HawkEye, so that's an awful decision 79/40.6 edged and gone! Finch falls. A duck for Finch. Good length delivery outside off, Finch tries to work this down to third man but can only get a thin outside edge through to the keeper. A tentative shot, a tentative innings, a tentative tournament for Finch. 3/12.5 White's gone now. Big wicket for the Scorchers. It's Johnson's modus operandi, isn't it? Dug in, not too high, aimed at the ribs. Just fended to short fine leg, and the Renegades now in some trouble 14/29.6 133 kph, goes through his heave this time. Full and straight, some seam movement back in. Cooper wanted to go straighter, towards deep midwicket, but the ball goes through and hits middle stump. 77/312.4 awesome bowling. The perfect yorker, on middle and off, Hodge goes back, tries to carve the ball through point but makes no contact. Goes right through. Hodge could only connect with one of four deliveries. 92/516.2 gone! Good length delivery around off, Bravo meets the ball a tad earlier than ideal, the ball just chips back to Willey. Trouble here for the Renegades 106/714.6 137 kph. Wildermuth falls. Wasn't a great innings, far from it actually. Struggled for timing right through. Full and wide outside off, just chipped to long-on with awful timing. 102/619.2 115 kph, superb catch by Voges. A slower ball outside off, Nabi goes back in his crease, but the slower ball has room to bounce extra. It goes very very high in the air, sniffs the roof and descends towards cover, where Voges takes a terrific catch 122/917.2 attempts the lap scoop, but misses. Full around off, another slower ball. Ludeman gets himself into a weird tangle and misses the ball completely.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.6 93 kph, looks for the slog sweep, but inside-edges the ball into the stumps. The stock ball again, some flight, and Willey's eyes light up. Swings through the line. Instead, the bails light up 58/112.4 edged and given. 87 kph, short and wide from Nabi. Klinger goes back, looking to cut but the ball takes the edge and Ludeman takes a good reflex catch. Some extra bounce 90/310.3 86 kph, stumped! Flight outside off, Agar comes down, looking to go over cover, but he misses the lofted drive. The keeper collects and whips off the bails. 78/216.2 more flight on leg, nudged to midwicket. There is a direct hit at the batsman's end from the fielder, the ball ricochets towards fine leg. Voges calls for the run, but his bat jars into the turf as he completes the run and Ludeman takes the throw from fine leg, and uproots a stump (he had to because the bails were off already) to find Voges short. How does this happen? What an amazing sequence of events. 113/515.5 picks out long-on. A slower delivery around middle and leg, Cartwright goes back and swats a badly-timed pull to long-on 109/417.5 that's absolutely crazy. What was that all about? Bravo uses the slower ball more often than the normal delivery so why is Inglis trying to play a lap scoop with 9 to win off 14 balls. He misses, the off stump is hit. Poor game awareness 122/618.4 run-out! T20 madness. Full and wide outside off, sliced to point. The batsmen go through for one, the point fielder picks up and throws to Richardson, who takes off the bails at the bowler's end. Hodge at point. That's experience. Run-out by a mile 125/7Extras4 (b 1, w 3)TOTAL133/7 (19 Overs, RR: 7)Fall of wickets: 1-58 (David Willey, 6.6 ov), 2-78 (Ashton Agar, 10.3 ov), 3-90 (Michael Klinger, 12.4 ov), 4-109 (Hilton Cartwright, 15.5 ov), 5-113 (Adam Voges, 16.2 ov), 6-122 (Josh Inglis, 17.5 ov), 7-125 (Jhye Richardson, 18.4 ov)
