Melbourne Renegades v Sydney Sixers

Melbourne Renegades won by 8 wickets (with 14 balls remaining)

Twenty20 match | 2011/12 season
Played at Docklands Stadium, Melbourne
2 January 2012 - day/night (20-over match)


Sydney Sixers innings (20 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
DJ Bravo	b Nannes	7	7	10	1	0	70.00
1.6 there's the first wicket! Good length ball on the middle stump and straightening. Bravo is playing for the movement and is beaten. The ball hits the middle stump and Bravo has to go back to the hut 10/1
MJ Lumb	b Maxwell	25	36	22	4	0	113.63
9.3 how well has Maxwell bowled. He notices that Lumb has moved across before the ball is bowled. He slips a faster, fuller delivery on the middle stump. Lumb tries to compensate by looking to sweep. He misses and Maxwell strikes 69/3
NJ Maddinson	st †Manou b Shahid Afridi	29	21	21	5	0	138.09
7.5 wicket! Afridi sees Maddinson advancing down the track and bowls a fuller ball. Maddinson misses the intended cover drive with his backfoot in the air. Manou is quick to whip the bails off after collecting the ball. Maddinson fails to convert the start, yet again 56/2
SPD Smith*	b Harwood	25	34	23	0	1	108.69
17.1 and he does what he did so well against Sydney Thunder. Bowling at the death. Smith looks to go after the off cutter and manages only an inside edge that crashes into the leg stump. A good beginning to the new spell for Harwood 132/4
MC Henriques	c †Manou b Nannes	41	35	30	3	1	136.66
18.3 the variety that Nannes has, is amazing. This time he gets the ball to skid from the surface and forces Henriques to go for the shot early. As he is into the stroke early, Henriques gets an outside edge back to the keeper. Clever variation in pace by Nannes in this over 138/6
BJ Rohrer	c Nannes b Harwood	2	1	2	0	0	100.00
17.3 Harwood is among the wickets again! He digs it in short on the off stump. Rohrer stays rooted to the crease and pulls it to deep midwicket. Nannes doesn't move an inch from his fielding position at deep midwicket and takes the catch easily 134/5
PM Nevill†	not out	10	13	6	0	1	166.66

DJ Thornely	not out	15	7	6	1	1	250.00

AB McDonald	2	0	19	0	9.50

AJ Finch	c Maddinson b Thornely	25	16	15	3	2	166.66
3.3 now that's a way to silence the partisan crowd! Taking the wicket. Thornely pitches it outside the off stump. Finch drives it to mid-off. Maddinson running to the left seemed to have over-run it . He is in control as he takes the catch easily and Finch has to go 35/1
BJ Hodge	not out	72	68	51	5	3	141.17

GJ Maxwell	c Thornely b Hazlewood	3	3	3	0	0	100.00
4.2 fuller ball on the off stump. Thornely can't be kept out of the match today. Maxwell goes for the flick shot powered by his wrists. They arent as powerful as Owais Shah's as he can't clear Thornely at deep square-leg. A crucial wicket that as Maxwell is capable of producing the big strokes 40/2
