Full commentary
Hodge is the talisman that Renegades needed. He came back in the last game against Thunder and started contributing immediately. If it was his partnership with Finch that did the trick in the last game, then it was the 124 run partnership with his captain McDonald that had them coasting to victory today
Renegades take a slot in the top four with this win and Sixers slide down to the fifth position. At this stage, Hurricanes seem to be far ahead in the race. Its for the positions 2,3 and 4 that there will be competition for
McDonald has been named the man of the match for his well paced innings. Thats it from all of us here. Join us tomorrow for the match between Brisbane Heat and Adelaide Strikers

Lee to McDonald, SIX runs
what can you do to prevent McDonald from hitting sixes? Sixers don't seem to have an idea. Lee pitches it short. McDonald spots it early and pulls. He saw it so early that he came onto the frontfoot and deposited the ball over deep backward square-leg

Smith to McDonald, SIX runs
the tenth six in the partnership, fifty for McDonald, 21 of this Smith over. How quickly have the tables turned? McDonald lofts it straight over the bowlers head. The surprising fact here is, McDonald has got no fours. All his boundary hits have been sixes
