Get Ball by Ball Commentary of Melbourne Renegades vs Sydney Sixers, Big Bash League 2018, 12th Match

END OF OVER:
20 | 3 Runs 1 Wkt | MR: 99/9 (34 runs required, RR: 4.95)

Sydney Sixers win by 33 runs and that's a superb performance with the ball and in the field. They only had 132 on the board, and had to fight for every one of those, but this was a difficult (and poor) T20 pitch. The Sixers spinners played a vital role, Ben Manenti on debut was outstanding as was Steve O'Keefe. Another good all-round day for Tom Curran as well with a vital hand with the bat followed by 3 for 18. Important win for the Sixers after two defeats, although they still have questions over the top order. The Renegades were well below their best with the bat and could have to contend with these home conditions all season. We'll be back tomorrow for Hobart Hurricanes against Perth Scorchers which will be Cameron Bancroft's return from his ban. See you for that but, for now, from Andrew McGlashan it's goodnight.

17.6

Abbott to Boyce, no run, moves across the crease and connects well with a scoop/flick, but goes straight to short fine leg

17.5

Abbott to Boyce, no run, plays around a very full delivery outside off, probably beat him as a full toss

Tom Curran3-0-15-2
Steve O'Keefe4-0-19-2

16.6

Curran to Wildermuth, OUT, finds long-on! And the Sixers close in further. He struck this pretty sweetly. Curran didn't quite get the yorker in, Wildermuth middled it over the leg side but didn't quite get the placement

JD Wildermuth c Silk b Curran 6 (13b 0x4 0x6) SR: 46.15

16.5

Curran to Boyce, 1 run, full and straight, Boyce goes deep in his crease and creams this to long-on

16.4

Curran to Boyce, SIX, that's big! Moved across his crease and picked up a delivery that was pretty wide outside off, Curran and seen him move, but Boyce manages to swing it over deep midwicket. Was a back-of-the-hand slower ball

16.3

Curran to Wildermuth, 1 run, slips into the pads, clipped to deep midwicket...they need way more than singles

16.2

Curran to Wildermuth, no run, dropped, almost a terrific rebound effort from Curran! A full ball, jabbed back to him, stuck up his left hand and almost caught it coming back down. But it's a dot ball
