Right. That is all from this game. On Wednesday, 08th December 2021, we will have the first double-header of this season's BBL as the first game will be played between Hobart Hurricanes and Sydney Sixers at 6.35 pm local (7.35 am GMT) and the second game will be contested between Perth Scorchers and Brisbane Heat at 6.35 pm local (10.35 am GMT). Do join us then. Cheers!
Zahir Khan, is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH! He thanks god and says that today was his day and that the captain and Mohammad Nabi encouraged him on the field and he is happy for his performance. Mentions that the staff and the management are very supportive of all the young players in the team.
The Melbourne Renegades failed to grab a wicket early on even though they were not bowling all that badly. Once Zahir Khan entered into the wickets column, they started to build a case and kept things tight, as they also managed to keep taking regular wickets and the pressure kept mounting on the batters of Adelaide. They took the game right until the last over and James Pattinson kept his cool to help them win. Zahir Khan and Will Sutherland impressed with the ball and the Renegades will be happy to start with a win under their belt.
Matthew Short and Jake Weatherald started off pretty positively for the Strikers and they did their job of setting the base ready for the run chase with their 45-run stand, but from 45/0, they were at 50/2 and lost both their openers in succession. Jonathan Wells and Harry Nielsen did well to steady things slightly as they kept the scoreboard running but once Wells fell, they lost two more quickly and Ryan Gibson retired hurt too. The onus to take them over the line fell on Rashid and Drew and when they took the Power Surge, it looked like Rashid could take them home but he lost his wicket but the Strikers did manage to take this to the last over but could not cross the line.
What a game of cricket this has been and it is the Melbourne Renegades who have come out on top in this thriller and have won the game by 2 runs. They pocket three points, whereas, the Strikers get the Bash Boost point.

James Pattinson To Wes Agar OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! James Pattinson gets a big breakthrough and could that be the game for Melbourne Renegades? Wes Agar gives himself too much room and Pattinson is smart to push it full and wide. Agar chases after it and looks to go over covers. He ends up skying it high off the toe end and towards covers. Mohammad Nabi takes a simple catch. 9 needed off 4 balls
Who will walk out? It is Peter Siddle.

Drinks! The Adelaide Strikers are placed nicely in this game as they have already bagged the Bash Boost point and need just 72 more from the last 60 balls, to bag the other 3 points too. Melbourne Renegades need wickets and quickly if they want to push the Strikers back. Will any one of the teams exercise their X-factor options? Doesn't look like it.

Kane Richardson To Matthew Short
DROPPED! James Pattinson had to take that. It went really high in the air but James had to ensure that Short's stay would come to an end. On a length, around off, Matthew Short lofts this one down the ground but has not timed it well. Two men converge and James Pattinson, from mid off, runs to his left, but fails to holds on. Two runs.

James Pattinson begins with a length ball, around middle and leg, Jake Weatherald looks to push but misses and gets hit on the pads. An appeal but the umpire says no. Maybe it had pitched outside leg this time.
Who will bowl from the other end? It's going to be James Pattinson.
