Player of the Match

Ben Dwarshuis

5/26(4)

Right then! That is all we have from tonight's game. The action in the Big Bash League will continue on Wednesday, the 12th of January as the Brisbane Heat take on Adelaide Strikers in Brisbane. Two teams are in desperate need of a win and that one will surely be worth the watch. That match will begin at 1:45 pm IST (8:15 am GMT). Do join us early for the buildup as well. Till then, take care and goodbye.

Ben Dwarshuis is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH. He says that the wicket was a bit low and slow so they tried to hit the deck hard. Credits Jackson Bird and Sean Abbott for the way they bowled at the top. Adds that it has been a challenging season due to the restrictions so staying together as a team has helped them. Says that they have a great captain and Moises Henriques marshals the troops really well.

Well, the Sydney Sixers must not have felt confident at the interval as they were a bit under par with the bat. They have a strong pace bowling unit and boy, the pacers did come to the party tonight. Jackson Bird and Sean Abbott gave them a strong start and even the young spinner, Todd Murphy picked up an early wicket. After that, the flow of runs was stemmed and once they got those wickets in the Power Surge, Dan Christian wasn't even required to bowl. Shadab Khan too was given the solo over later on and it was Ben Dwarshuis who picked up a fifer tonight the pick of the bowlers. He closed out the innings well and is inching closer to 100 wickets in BBL.

There's not much to talk about the batting of Melbourne Renegades at the moment. They are failing to get beyond scores of 150 and are even finding it difficult just to cross 100 runs in their 20 overs. This is all down to the fact that no batsman wants to spend time at the crease. Shaun Marsh was the only batter who spent time in the middle but just couldn't up the ante when required. Wickets kept tumbling down at regular intervals and the Renegades once again get bundled out. They have plenty of thinking to do.

Sydney Sixers are back to winning ways and they have done so with a stellar all-round performance. The Renegades continue to struggle with the bat and just can't close in on the top 5.

14.6

Sean Abbott To Kane Richardson

Another good shot from Richardson. This is pitched up, around off. Kane Richardson thumps it over mid off but doesn't quite get the timing on it. The fielder from mid off chases it down and pulls it back before the ball crosses the ropes. They race back for the third.

14.5

Sean Abbott To Kane Richardson

SIX! Geez, that's a nice hit! Banged in this time from Abbott, over middle. Kane Richardson hangs back and clubs it all the way, over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie.

14.4

Sean Abbott To Kane Richardson

Full, outside off and beats the batter comprehensively.

14.3

Sean Abbott To Josh Lalor

Dropped! A bit too eager from the skipper, Moises Henriques. Pitched up, on off and Josh Lalor looks to lift it over long off. He mistimes it and Henriques comes in from the deep and slides in to pouch it. He though puts it down and a single is taken.

14.2

Sean Abbott To Josh Lalor

What was that? Abbott bowls a very full slower ball, around off. The ball shapes away a bit in the air and Lalor has a big swing at it. He doesn't connect though.

Josh Lalor is the new batter now.

14.1

Sean Abbott To Cameron Boyce OUT!

OUT! BOWLED! Sean Abbott gets his second wicket of the night. The Renegades are just tumbling like nine-pins here. Full and on off. Cameron Boyce looks to drive it on the off side but the ball sneaks beneath and hits the off stump on the full. Cameron Boyce is out for a duck on his return but one can't blame him. Renegades on the verge of yet another thumping defeat.

Sean Abbott (2-0-8-1) is back on.

13.5

Ben Dwarshuis To Kane Richardson

Back of a length, around off. Pushed past covers.

Kane Richardson walks out to bat.

13.4

Ben Dwarshuis To Sam Harper OUT!

OUT! TAKEN! That is probably the final nail in the coffin. A low full toss this time, around middle and leg. Sam Harper shuffles across the leg stump and tries to loft it over covers. The ball comes off the toe end of the bat and is sliced towards cover-point. Moises Henriques slides to his right and takes the catch. Harper just casually asked Abbott whether he took the catch and in return, got a thumbs up from the fielder and he continued walking. Good to see the trust

13.3

Ben Dwarshuis To Sam Harper

SIX! Back-to-back maximums! Right in the slot this time from Ben Dwarshuis. Sam Harper hangs deep in his crease and lifts it all the way, over the wide long on fence. Game on!

13.2

Ben Dwarshuis To Sam Harper

SIX! Shot! Sam Harper says we might as well hit a few. A short ball, outside off and Harper fetches it. He then flat-bats it over the backward square leg fence.

Cameron Boyce, who was brilliant with the ball has a job to do with the bat this time.

13.1

Ben Dwarshuis To Will Sutherland OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT! Now, this is what you call a plan coming together. As only two fielders are allowed outside the inner ring, a man is placed on the square leg fence. Ben Dwarshuis bowls a length ball, around leg and cramps Sutherland for room. Will Sutherland tries to take on the fielder and whips it off his legs. He manages to hit it straight down the throat of Jack Edwards at the square leg fence and he takes an easy catch.

The Power Surge has been taken and Melbourne Renegades need to get a lot of runs in the next two overs as only 2 fielders can stay outside the ring.

12.5

Hayden Kerr To Sam Harper

Kerr is giving nothing away here. Back of a length, around leg stump. Harper taps it on the leg side for another single.

12.4

Hayden Kerr To Will Sutherland

Length this time, on off and angling away. Sutherland plays it really late towards third man and picks up a single.

12.3

Hayden Kerr To Sam Harper

Another slower ball, full and outside off. Harper gets behind the line of the ball and punches it to long off for a single.

12.2

Hayden Kerr To Will Sutherland

Fuller one, on off and pushed out on the off side for one.

Will Sutherland walks in with his side in heaps of trouble.

12.1

Hayden Kerr To Shaun Marsh OUT!

OUT! Cleaned up! Hayden Kerr knocks over Shaun Marsh and is absolutely pumped up. A length ball, around the top of off but it is slower in pace. Shaun Marsh doesn't pick it out of the hand and hangs deep to play the cracking pull shot. Marsh is way too early in his shot and the ball nips back in off the surface a bit. The ball crashes into off and middle and with Marsh gone, the Renegades in deep trouble.

Ben Dwarshuis To Shaun Marsh

A slower length ball, on the pads. Marsh works it towards deep square leg for another one.

11.4

Ben Dwarshuis To Sam Harper

Shortish ball, down the leg side. Harper helps it around the corner and picks up a run.

11.3

Ben Dwarshuis To Shaun Marsh

Good-length ball, around leg. Marsh tucks it away on the leg side for one. As he crosses, Marsh slips a bit but he's fine.

Sam Harper walks out to bat.

11.2

Ben Dwarshuis To Mackenzie Harvey OUT!

OUT! TAKEN! Josh Philippe with a fabulous take! Ben Dwarshuis delivers a length ball that is angled at the pads. Mackenzie Harvey gives himself a bit of room and looks to go big over the mid-wicket fence. Harvey ends up getting a top edge which goes miles up in the air and towards the vacant mid-wicket region. The keeper, Philippe, calls it early and races towards the ball. He gets there with time to spare and hangs on to a brilliant catch.

11.1

Ben Dwarshuis To Shaun Marsh

A low full toss, on the pads. Marsh whips it in front of square on the leg side and collects a run.

Ben Dwarshuis is back now. Went for 8 in his first over.

10.5

Hayden Kerr To Shaun Marsh

SIX! Shot! A length ball, angled at the body. Marsh hangs back and pulls it flat, over the square leg fence and picks up a much-needed maximum.

10.4

Hayden Kerr To Mackenzie Harvey

Good-length ball, on middle. Harvey pulls it down to deep mid-wicket for one.

Distraction for the batter. The towel had come off after Kerr bowled the previous delivery and that might have contributed to Harvey getting hit on the body.

10.3

Hayden Kerr To Mackenzie Harvey

Should that have been a dead ball? Another off-pace delivery, around off. Mackenzie Harvey gets low looking to slog it away but gets deceived by the lack of pace and also maybe by the towel falling off just as Kerr was about to release the ball.

10.2

Hayden Kerr To Shaun Marsh

On middle and leg, pulled away through mid-wicket for a single.

10.1

Hayden Kerr To Shaun Marsh

A well-executed slower ball from Kerr. On a length, just over the off stump. Shaun Marsh looks to swing across the line but gets undone by the low bounce.

DRINKS! Well, a straightforward chase has turned into a head-scratcher for the Renegades. They have lost three top-order batters and aren't even scoring at run-a-ball. The opening bowlers for the Sixers, Bird and Abbott bowled brilliantly and picked up early wickets. Murphy has also done well to stem the flow of runs and pick up a wicket himself. Sixers have secured the Bash Boost point. 96 needed off 60 balls.

Ben Dwarshuis To Shaun Marsh

Length, on middle. Worked past square leg for one.

8.2

8.1

Ben Dwarshuis To Mackenzie Harvey

Short of a length, wide outside off. Harvey goes for the cut but gets the outside edge. The ball lands well short of third man though. Single.

7.5

Todd Murphy To Nic Maddinson OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The pressure was building up and something had to happen! Plus, the off spinner took the ball away from both these left-handers so they couldn't cut loose with ease! Tossed up, wide outside off as Nic Maddinson dances down the track. He looks to hit it over covers but misses the ball. Josh Philippe does the rest. But hold on, the replay shows that there was a knick as well and it is given as caught behind and not stumping.

7.4

Todd Murphy To Shaun Marsh

Flatter, on off. Marsh works it past mid-wicket for one.

Is that a stumping? The third umpire is called in as Josh Philippe appeal for a stumping. The replays roll in and we can see that Marsh has his back foot rooted inside the crease. NOT OUT!

7.3

Todd Murphy To Shaun Marsh

NOT OUT! First signs of aggression by Marsh! Tossed up, around off. Marsh goes for the slog sweep but misses. The bails are taken off and the TV umpire is called in now. Marsh is safe though.

Nic Maddinson dances down the track and works it to long on for one.

Big swing and a miss! Length again, outside off. Shaun Marsh just looks to dispatch this one downtown but completely misses the ball.

1.4

Sean Abbott To Aaron Finch OUT!

OUT! LBW! I don't think there's any doubt about this one! A length ball from Sean Abbott. This is bowled around off and the ball just darts it sharply after pitching. Aaron Finch strides out to defend and his front pad is in the way. Finch gets pinged in front and it looks like his front pad is also appealing for that one. The umpire raises his finger in a jiffy and the Renegades lose both their openers.

1.3

Sean Abbott To Aaron Finch

Just over! Pitched up, on off. Finch looks to take the bowler on and looks to lift it over mid off. He mistimes it badly and the ball just goes over mid off. They come back for two.

Jackson Bird To Jake Fraser-McGurk OUT!

OUT! LBW! Well, Jake Fraser-McGurk was living on the edge and now he gets thrown off the edge. Jackson Bird pitches it up, around middle and leg. The ball nips back in after pitching and Fraser-McGurk just looks to hit through the line of the ball. He misses and gets rapped on the back leg. Huge shout from the bowler and given. The replay confirms that the ball was just clipping leg side. Perfect start for Bird and the Sixers.
