Scorer: M Venkat Raghav | Commentator: Alex Malcolm
The Stars win by seven wickets with 13 balls to spare. That was a clinic from Marcus Stoinis. Just the 16th time he opened in a T20 innings, it was only his fourth T20 half-century but his third opening. He will be set there for the rest of the tournament. He got good support from Ben Dunk in a 67-run opening stand. Glenn Maxwell also played well as they cruised to victory. But the game was set up with the ball. Stoinis played his part there too with 2 for 26 from three overs. He thoroughly deserves his Player of the Match award. The Renegades have some work to do in the batting department. Both sides are 2-2 after four games but the Stars have a superior net run-rate and vault to third on the table. Thanks for your company tonight from the MCG. Join us again tomorrow as the Thunder host the Scorchers in Sydney. Until then, goodnight.
