- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.1 cleans him up! Edwards' lean start to the BBL continues as he swings across the line of a full delivery and sees his off stump pegged back 14/15.5 terrific catch running back as Christian judges this perfectly...Denly trying to go straight down the ground, not an easy pitch to drive on, goes very high in the air but doesn't have the distance. Christian watches it come over his shoulder and settles under it 25/34.5 chipped to midwicket! Debutant Harvey takes the catch. A full ball outside off, he tries to drive, the bat twists in his hands and the ball flies towards midwicket. Harvey made good ground to his right 23/211.2 loses leg stump as he tries the scoop again, actually plays this off the face of the bat into the stumps...defeated by a slower ball, so credit to the bowler as well 63/417.5 well bowled, done completely by the slower ball! Short of a length, Silk is through his shot and it loops off the toe end back to the bowler 114/615.1 finds long-on, so just as he was getting going he's gone...down the pitch, Nabi holds it back a bit, can't get the distance as he tries to go down the ground 94/519.6 another safe catch from Christian to end the innings, Abbott trying to launch this down the ground but can't clear long-off 132/7Extras7 (w 7)TOTAL132/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.6)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Jack Edwards, 2.1 ov), 2-23 (Daniel Hughes, 4.5 ov), 3-25 (Joe Denly, 5.5 ov), 4-63 (Moises Henriques, 11.2 ov), 5-94 (Josh Philippe, 15.1 ov), 6-114 (Jordan Silk, 17.5 ov), 7-132 (Sean Abbott, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.5 takes off stump, wicket in his first over! Lovely delivery, just straightened enough to beat the edge as Harvey gave himself a touch of room to drive through the off side 50/34.1 bottom edge into the stumps swinging across the line at a back-of-a-length delivery, just what Henriques and Curran had spoken about before the over 32/15.5 caught at mid-off as this one nearly hits the roof...White got underneath this lofted drive, went straight up into the air, hitting the roof would have been six, but it settles in the hands as it comes down 38/211.1 down to long-off and now the Sixers are back in it! Manenti having a terrific debut. Cooper trying to go straight down the ground, slices it a little and a comfortable catch 65/412.1 and another catch to long-off! The Renegades in trouble now...Nabi moved outside leg to open up the off side, tried to loft this but couldn't get it over or wide of Denly. Nicely held back by O'Keefe 66/514.5 edged, caught behind, that could be the game! Full at off stump, just a hint of movement, he goes for the drive and it's an edge behind 73/712.3 beautiful delivery, caught behind! That's a genuine left-arm spinner's wicket. Round the wicket, angled in at off stump, grips and spins significantly to take the edge and it's a good take behind the stumps 67/616.6 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 86/819.1 low full toss which is clubbed to deep midwicket, good catch by the very safe Silk 96/9Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL99/9 (20 Overs, RR: 4.95)Fall of wickets: 1-32 (Tim Ludeman, 4.1 ov), 2-38 (Cameron White, 5.5 ov), 3-50 (Mackenzie Harvey, 7.5 ov), 4-65 (Tom Cooper, 11.1 ov), 5-66 (Mohammad Nabi, 12.1 ov), 6-67 (Sam Harper, 12.3 ov), 7-73 (Dan Christian, 14.5 ov), 8-86 (Jack Wildermuth, 16.6 ov), 9-96 (Cameron Boyce, 19.1 ov)
