That is it then from this game but there's one more day left in the group stages of the Big Bash League 2022-23. On Wednesday, the 25th of January, a couple of crucial games are set to take place with playoffs spots on the line as first, Hobart Hurricanes take on Brisbane Heat at 8.10 am IST (2.40 am GMT). This will be followed by a clash between Melbourne Stars and Sydney Thunder at 1.45 pm IST (8.15 am GMT). You can join us for the early build-up of both those games. Cheers!
Melbourne Renegades skipper, Aaron Finch (63* off 54 balls) is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH. Finch says that he knew that they needed a platform and it is nice to . Adds that the wicket played well once the game went deep. Tells that both teams missed a trick by not getting the ball more in the outfield. Says that both Matt Critchley and Jonathan Wells were calm under pressure. Mentions that the wicket of Colin de Grandhomme was crucial and credits Fawad Ahmed for it and his bowling in general. Ends by saying that it is a good feeling going into the finals.
The Presentation ceremony...
Earlier in the day, Aaron Finch won the toss and opted to chase in a high-pressure game. The wicket had loads in it for the bowlers and Melbourne Renegades were able to take advantage of it. Alex Carey was the only one who stood out with the bat for Adelaide Strikers as he scored 69 runs and that helped them get over the 140-run mark. The Renegades' bowling was solid in general with Tom Rogers and Fawad Ahmed proving to be very economical and the latter picked up three wickets as well. Coming to the chase, Melbourne Renegades faltered at the start but regained their composure and the skipper Aaron Finch led from the front to take them home.
Adelaide Strikers had done well to get to 142 and had a bit of momentum behind them coming into the chase. The bowlers gave them a perfect start as Matthew Short, Wes Agar and Peter Siddle all picked up a wicket in the opening three overs. With the opposition reeling, the Strikers failed to press home the advantage and once Aaron Finch and Matt Critchley got set, the game was taken away from them. In the end, they were humbled and after one of the strongest starts to the competition, the Strikers have crashed and burned.
On a tricky wicket, 143 to chase down wasn't a simple thing to do and Melbourne Renegades lost 3 wickets for just 16 runs in 2.1 overs. They were on the back foot but then came the gritty stand between Aaron Finch and Matt Critchley which was worth 69 runs. Critchley was the aggressor in that but he fell and the onus was on Finch and Jonathan Wells to get the job done. After a sedate start to the partnership, the pair went ballistic in the Power Surge and finished off the game with 9 balls to spare. Finch ended with an unbeaten 63 off 54 balls and sealed the win.
'Cometh the hour and cometh man,' and what a knock this has been Melbourne Renegades skipper Aaron Finch and he has led his side to a memorable victory and into the playoffs as well. It's heartbreak for Adelaide Strikers though and they crash out of the tournament.

Wes Agar To Aaron Finch
Nasty delivery this from Wes Agar. Bowled back of a length and over off stump, the ball just shoots off the deck and takes Finch by surprise. Finch hops and manages to get it down off the gloves toward backward point. They get a single. At the end of the Powerplay, Melbourne Renegades are 27/3!

Peter Siddle To Sam Harper OUT!
OUT! LBW! Peter Siddle seems to have trapped Sam Harper in front of the stumps on the very first delivery and the finger is raised. Harper takes a late review and the third umpire is called in yet again. Nothing on IUltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows the impact as umpire's call and the wickets are hitting. Coming onto the ball, this is on a nagging length in that channel around off and the ball seams back in nicely as well. Harper gets caught on the crease and fails to get any bat on it and has to walk back now. Melbourne Renegades in a spot of huge bother now.
Peter Siddle replaces Matthew Short.

Wes Agar To Aaron Finch
Aaron Finch survives! Wes Agar serves it a bit fuller and around off with the ball angling in a long way. Finch looks to drive off the front foot but misses and gets pinged on the front pad. There is a huge appeal for lbw and it is turned down. The Adelaide Strikers players discuss and eventually, Travis Head does review it. The third umpire checks UltraEdge and there's no bat on it. Ball Tracking shows that the impact is just outside the line of off stump and Adelaide Strikers lose a review.

Unfortunate for the bowler, Wes Agar! On a hard length on off stump and this one jags back in sharply off the deck. Aaron Finch gets caught on the crease and gets a hit on the thigh pads. The ball then rolls on to hit the stumps but the bails don't come off. Finch is a relieved man.

Wes Agar To Shaun Marsh OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Straight to the man and Shaun Marsh cannot believe it. Wes Agar bowls it short and wide again and it is begging to be hit. Marsh rocks back and slaps it flat toward point. Ryan Gibson there takes a sharp catch around his chest and Agar is ecstatic. Marsh walks back for a duck and Melbourne Renegades are in early trouble here.
Aaron Finch, the skipper of Melbourne Renegades comes out to the middle with his side in early trouble.

NO BALL! The field stays the same and this time the umpires come together and signal a no ball. Tossed up around off stump, Sam Harper looks to paddle it again but gets it off the pads. The ball lobs over the man at leg slip and they collect a couple of leg byes. Free Hit coming up...

Matthew Short To Sam Harper
Travis Head takes a freakish catch at leg slip but it won't count. This is a flighted delivery around off. Sam Harper looks to get inside the line and paddle it away but seems to have got an inside edge off the pads and the ball loops up to the left of leg slip. Head there sticks out a right hand and takes it on the second attempt. The UltraEdge though shows aflat linee. Also, there are six fielders on the leg side and the on-air commentators are discussing about a no ball which the on-field umpires haven't given.
Is that out? Sam Harper have taken a review for a catch appeal. The UltraEdge shows no bat involved. Harper is safe.
Sam Harper walks out to bat at number 3.

Matthew Short To Martin Guptill OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Matthew Short has the last laugh here and Martin Guptill's poor run continues. Short flighted it up around off stump and Guptill gets down on one knee to slog it away. The ball is hit miles up in the air but it isn't long enough. Adam Hose at deep mid-wicket keeps his eyes on the ball and almost makes a meal of it as he pouches it down to his left. Hose hangs on and Adelaide Strikers have an early breakthrough.
Slight Halt! The ball has taken a hit and is replaced by a new one.

Matthew Short To Martin Guptill
SIX! BANG! No messing about from Martin Guptill. This is tossed up in the slot around middle, Guptill slogs it away and sends it way over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. Also, Guptil has literally knocked the cover of the ball and it needs to be changed.
