STR vs REN Live Cricket Score

4.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Zahir Khan has his revenge eventually. He was taken to the cleaners in his first over by Short but he has responded by removing him. Another wrong 'un, landing short and outside off, turning away, Short stays back to cut but fails to keep it down. It flies to backward point where Jonathan Merlo accepts a simple catch. A bit like how Marnus Labuschagne got out earlier in the day in the first Ashes Test. 50/2

3 OUT! BOWLED! Zahir Khan has success in his first over and is running in joy. It was an expensive over from him but he has capped it off with a prized scalp. That's a googly, landing full around off, Jake Weatherald fails to read the variation. He stays clueless on the back foot when he should have been forward and the ball turns back in, goes through his non-existent defense to break the stumps. 34/1

9 OUT! BOWLED! James Pattinson strikes now and Adelaide Strikers lose their third wicket! This was a very full ball, outside off at 135.7 kph. Harry Nielsen reaches out and looks for a booming drive through the cover region but it takes the inner bottom half of his blade and cannons onto the stumps. James Pattinson has a wicket and he will feel a lot better now. 81/3

14.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Adelaide Strikers lose a wicket in the Power Surge, not how they had envisioned it. Kane Richardson gets his second wicket and a good knock by Wells comes to an end but at the wrong time for the Strikers. A full-length ball, outside off. Wells comes across and reaches out for it. He looks to slash it through the cover region but only manages to get an outside edge on it. Sam Harper is alert behind the stumps and takes a good catch. 111/5

12.4 OUT! LBW! Kane Richardson brings himself into the attack and strikes straightaway! A timely breakthrough for Melbourne Renegades! This was a good-length delivery, around middle and angling in just a little bit. Daniel Drew moves across in his crease a bit too much and misses his flick. Richardson appeals and the umpire raises his finger in no time. This is also Richardson's 100th wicket in the Big Bash League and he becomes only the third bowler to achieve this feat after Ben Laughlin (111 wickets) and Sean Abbott (109 wickets). Kane is in rare air! 104/4

15.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Third wicket falls in the Power Surge and back-to-back wickets for Reece Topley. It is Mohammad Nabi again with an excellent catch. A length ball, on off. Liam Scott throws hit bat at it. The ball chips off the bottom end towards the left of mid off. Mohammad Nabi moves to that side and takes a good low catch. Adelaide Strikers are seven down now and in trouble. 125/7

15.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Rashid Khan's cameo comes to an end. He made the most of the Power Surge here. Reece Topley gets his first wicket of the game. A length ball, on off. Khan looks to go over the mid off region but fails to get the right connection. He ends up hitting it straight to his fellow countryman, Mohammad Nabi, who makes no mistake inside the ring and takes a good catch. 125/6

18.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Mohammad Nabi is a magnet in the field. He is not missing out on any catch coming towards him. A full-length ball, on off. George Garton looks to go big but ends up sending the ball high in the air. It flies towards mid on and Mohammad Nabi settles under it to take a sharp catch. Adelaide Strikers lose their ninth wicket! 149/9

17.2 OUT! Caught behind! Reece Topley has three in the match now. The tall left-arm pacer speeds in from 'round the wicket and bangs in a short delivery outside off, Daniel Worrall tries to take him on with his pull shot but the bounce gets big and it takes the top half of his bat. Sam Harper has an easy catch to take and Adelaide Strikers continue to lose wickets. 139/8

19 OUT! TIMBER! Adelaide Strikers are bowled out for 149. Kane Richardson hurls across a full toss around off, angling in, Wes Agar tries to force it through the line but only manages to drag it onto the stumps. Kane Richardson picks up his fourth wicket of the game. The Strikers have wasted 6 balls. 149/10

10.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Change of pace has done wonders for Wes Agar and he gets the big wicket of Harper. Agar serves it short, around middle and leg, Sam swivels on the back foot and pulls it towards deep square leg. He does not get the desired distance on it and Matthew Short stands tall near the fence to take an easy catch. Melbourne Renegades are three wickets down now and in some trouble. 72/3

4.5 OUT! Run out! That's a disaster. Harvey just kept on running there without looking at his partner. Here is the entire action - Rashid comes up with a flighted delivery, it lands around leg and strikes Mackenzie Harvey on the pads as he tries to defend from the back foot. They appeal but the finger stays down. The ball deflects to point and Mackenzie Harvey wants to have a run. Sam Harper though has his back to him and there was no call. Still, Harvey keeps on running and reaches the other end. The throw comes to the keeper who does the rest. Maybe, Harvey felt the pressure there and wanted to get off strike. As far as that lbw appeal was concerned, it had pitched outside leg. A big breakthrough for Adelaide Strikers nonetheless. 39/1

8.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Brilliant work by the keeper behind the stumps. Khan serves a loopy ball, around off, spinning away from the batter. James Seymour switches his stance and looks to go for the reverse-batted shot. He fails to middle his shot though and under-edges it towards the keeper. Harry Nielsen reacts superbly and shows great reflexes to grab it. They appeal and the finger is up. 59/2

13.5 OUT! TAKEN! Mohammad Nabi's struggle comes to an end! A slower ball, it's served short and outside off. Nabi looks to pull it over the mid-wicket fence but he does not get the desired elevation and hits it straight towards Jake Weatherald. He is a touch off the rope but does well to keep his eyes on the ball and catches it over his head. 66 needed off 37 balls. 84/5

12.4 OUT! LBW! This is plumb, no chance for Jonathan Merlo to get out of it. Rashid Khan comes into the attack and strikes again. He gets his second wicket of the game. Khan serves a googly, around off, Merlo presses forward and looks to defend it out but misses. He gets pinged on the front pad. Rashid appeals and the umpire raises his finger in a flash. This game is wide open. 70 needed off 44 balls. 80/4

14.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Another one bites the dust! Melbourne Renegades are losing their way yet again and Adelaide Strikers are bossing this game now! Agar serves a length ball, outside off at 131.2 kph. Jake Fraser-McGurk pokes at it and it takes the outside edge towards the keeper. Harry Nielsen, behind the sticks, makes no mistake and the Strikers are delighted! 85/6

15.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Another one departs and Melbourne Renegades slip further! Banged in short, around middle, Will Sutherland goes for the big heave over the mid-wicket region but he gets a top edge and the ball goes in the air towards deep mid-wicket. Jake Weatherald there, settles under it and takes a very good catch. 89/8

14.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! WOW! Harry Nielsen, you beauty! What a terrific catch from the keeper to get rid of Pattinson! This was a good-length ball, around the fourth stump channel. Pattinson looks to push inside the line but it goes off the outside edge to the left of the keeper. Harry Nielsen dives full stretch to his left and takes a one-handed blinder. Melbourne Renegades are in tatters. 85/7

17.4 OUT! CAUGHT! It is Melbourne Renegades' skipper who walks back to the hut now! Peter Siddle serves a full toss, on the leg stump line. Kane Richardson advances down the track and looks to heave it away but he gets it away from the splice of his bat and the ball goes straight to George Garton at mid off who takes a sitter. 99/9

18.4 OUT! BOWLED! There it is! Daniel Worrall ends the misery of the Renegades! He hurls a length ball, around off. Zahir Khan backs away and looks to hammer it down the ground but he fails to get any bat on it and the ball cannons onto his off stump. Adelaide Strikers WIN THE MATCH BY 49 RUNS! 100/10
