That concludes our coverage from a crazy game. The Stars season has basically ended tonight with a sense of deja vu, losing the unlosable to the Renegades at Marvel Stadium. Renegades move up to third on the table and look set for finals now. Thanks for your company. Good night.

Player of the match is Kane Richardson for his 2 for 17 Richardson: "We needed that after the last game and I needed to pull it back after the last game. Anytime you can win a derby it's awesome. It's pretty loud here right now and these are the games you want to play in. We just really needed the win so I'm really pleased. Any time you can have Aaron Finch as captain it's going to calm the situation down. For Will Sutherland to execute like that, I think everyone knows he's been put in that position before, for him to come out of it this time on top, you build up a bit of scar tissue from those experiences. The growth he's shown this year, he's a star of the future so I'm thrilled for him."

Will Sutherland: "I was nervous. I've bowled the last over of a game before and big Jason Holder got a hold of me. So it was good to get a win bowling the last over. It gives me a lot of confidence. Just had few cues at the top of my mark for each ball and tried to keep that clear in my head. Our spinners were unbelievable and Kane Richardson was brilliant again as well. [On the sixes after hitting the roof] They had two go there way. I think I let out a few expletives after that. That's the rules. I do hope they change it after that."

10.50pm Renegades pull off another Marvel miracle. Stars needed 54 off 51 with 8 wickets in hand and lost. Crazy batting. Renegades bowlers with Finch pulling the strings just squeezed and squeezed. It started with 12 consecutive dots when Cartwright fell in the Surge and Webster faced a maiden. They never were able to get it back on track.

Malli: "Perfect example of how to choke in a run chase. With less than run a ball, 4 overs to go with 6 wickets in hand. "

Sam: "Even neutrals who've followed this game will feel like justice has been done after those two roof catches were awarded as sixes, thoughts @Alex Malcolm?" They were certainly handed 12 runs they didn't deserve and Clarke caught have been out on 16.

RD: "As a Stars and RCB fan, pain should be my middle name"

Worzel: "Wow, just WOW!!!"

19.6

Sutherland to Larkin, no run, wide yorker beats him! Renegades win! How did that happen?! Full wide yorker, perfectly bowled. Landed right on the popping crease and he missed it trying to square drive it for six. Larkin is distraught

Six needed for a Super Over. Long conference about what he bowls. Here we go ...

19.5

Sutherland to Larkin, FOUR, sliced over short third! 130kph, full and wide, he sliced it up and over short third to run away!

19.4

Sutherland to Wood, OUT, Sutherland pulls off a run out! Almost a yorker, Wood jams it out back to the bowler, it nearly bounces over Sutherland's head but he reached up with the one hand and plucked it, Larkin ran, Wood didn't, Sutherland cruised back to the non-striker's and broke the stumps!

L Wood run out 1 (8m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33

Mid off up. Deep point back

19.3

Sutherland to Larkin, 1 run, 108kph, slower ball on leg, he swings hard and cloths it down the ground to long on and they take the single this time

Johnno: "The Stars are unique among BBL teams for the range of their repertoire in how to lose games the should win easily"

19.2

Sutherland to Larkin, no run, full and wide, he flushes a square drive straight to deep point and they don't run! Larkin is going to try to do it himself!

19.1

Sutherland to Larkin, no run, cut straight to backward point! He gave room but mistimed it straight to the fielder

Hard to believe the Stars have turned a near run-a-ball chase into 12 from 6. They needed 54 from 51 with 8 wickets in hand. Sutherland to bowl the last

END OF OVER:
19 | 3 Runs 1 Wkt | MS: 151/6 (12 runs required from 6 balls, RR: 7.94, RRR: 12.00)

18.5

Rogers to Wood, 1 run, 137kph, hard length, into the body, he mistimes a pull in the air but well short of deep midwicket

Surely not ...

nabeel: "Well as a Pakistani fan very happy to see australian teams playing just like us unpredictables are the best to enjoy the cricket isn't it Alex?" Keeps things interesting Nabeel!

18.2

Rogers to Hinchliffe, no run, flash and miss trying to cut a short and wide one at 138kph. Beaten for pace

Kane Richardson4-0-17-2
Fawad Ahmed4-1-20-1

Fawad Ahmed has a sore knee apparently. He heads off and Renegades get a better fielder on

17.6

Richardson to Larkin, 1 run, slower ball, outside off, he mistimes a drive just past the outstretched hand of Richardson

James: "Have to say it's pretty ironic that of the balls which have hit the roof, the two which wouldve actually gone for 6 were dead balls and the 3 (including 2 tonight) that have happened since the rule change have all been nowhere near going for 6."

17.5

Richardson to Hinchliffe, 1 run, 133kph, back of a length, he pulls to deep midwicket for one

17.4

Richardson to Hinchliffe, no run, beaten again! 130kph, nipping away off the seam. He tried to run to third but was beaten for pace

17.3

Richardson to Hinchliffe, no run, beaten by one that zips through outside off. Lovely delivery

Fraser-McGurk has damaged his finger. It's bleeding badly. He's headed off

17.2

Richardson to Seymour, OUT, holes out to deep square! Fraser-McGurk holds on and keeps his balance on the rope! Shorter length, he pulls in the air to deep square but falls about two metres short of six! Fraser-McGurk takes the catch above his head and balances on one leg to stay inside.

J Seymour c Fraser-McGurk b Richardson 3 (6m 7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 42.85

17.1

Richardson to Seymour, no run, beaten. 131kph, good length angled across and beats the edge as he drives on the up
