Scorer: Ranjith P | Commentator: @PeterDellaPenna

10.38 pm Aaron Finch keeps a cool head after the loss of Andre Russell and the former Renegades captain sees the team home by four wickets. Renegades make it two wins from two matches to start the season. Thunder bring back a bit of respectability after their 15 all out debacle but still go down to defeat.

Aaron Finch is Player of the Match: "It got a little bit stressful towards the end there. I think you've always got confidence in your ability to get the team home in a situation like that but you still need a six in that last over or a couple of boundaries and I was lucky enough to get one and then get my old legs back and forth a couple of times to get home. Close games are what it's all about in T20 cricket. The margins are so small over a 14 game season. There might be 1 or 2 percent between every team in the competition but the teams that win those close games tend to make the finals."

That's it for today's coverage. Come back tomorrow for more live BBL action. Until then, I'm Peter Della Penna. Take care.

Sandhu to Finch, 2 runs, full on middle, shovels this flat over Sandhu and splits mid-on and mid-off for two runs to clinch the match.

Jazz: "Nice to see Finchy get a couple out of the screws. It's been awhile! "

Sandhu to Finch, 2 runs, yorker on off, jams this out softly well short of long-off and they scamper two runs.

Sandhu to Finch, SIX, goes for yorker and misses the length badly. Finch muscles this knee high full toss from fifth stump and clubs it flat over long-on clearing the LCD ad boards landing just short of the front row of seats.

Finch back on strike now with 10 off four needed to win.

Sandhu to Sutherland, 1 run, thigh high full toss on sixth stump, swats this to long-on for one.

Finch will be off strike for at least the first two balls of the final over as Sutherland arrives on strike after the wicket.
