- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3 Finch does not have any such luck. he finds mid-off, easy catch in front of his neck for Botha. Full outside off, was there to be hit but Finch's half-hearted drive goes straight to the fielder, indecisive shot 18/110.4 Gayle holes out. Short enough on off to hit that but Gayle doesn't connect as well as he would have liked, swatted it straight to deep midwicket. Big wicket, Gayle trudges off and Sixers are right back in this 80/39.1 gone, White goes. Not where White wanted to go, full outside off, Whit looked to go over mid-off but skewed it off the outside half to deep cover where Lumb pouches it and is extremely delighted 74/213.2 bowled im. Shortish on off, the ball skids through but Wade goes on with the pull, the ball takes a bit of a bottom edge and then clatters into the stumps. Another timely wicket. 94/4Extras8 (lb 2, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL172/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8.6)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (AJ Finch, 2.6 ov), 2-74 (CL White, 9.1 ov), 3-80 (CH Gayle, 10.4 ov), 4-94 (MS Wade, 13.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.1 edged and gone, wow, another change in the game. Short and wide, Lumb goes for the cut but gets a thin edge which Wade takes, would have been a wide if he left that. 122/30.2 Haddin goes off the first ball, massive wicket for Renegades, a really good ball. Full on off but some nice away movement, Haddin goes for the exuberant drive but feathers through and Haddin walks off 1/13.4 taken, another good catch. Good length on off, Maddinson hoicks it high in the air towards deep midwicket, Cooper runs across from deep square leg and holds on despite fielders running towards the skier from all directions. Good effort 21/216 gone! But is it too late? Better now than never. Full on middle, Henriques goes for the heave again but doesn't get all of it, hangs up in the air but Cooper gets around and takes it. 153/417.2 got im this time! Slower ball on middle, Silk looks to flick but misses, the ball sneaks through and hits him in front of leg, Umpire raises his finger to keep Renegades in the contest, just! 162/616.4 direct hit! And Botha is gone. Full on off, driven to Finch at mid-off who fumbles and juggles but importantly, hits the stumps direct at the non-strikers end to find Botha just short. 155/517.5 gone! O'Keefe looks for the slog over midwicket but the ball hurries onto him and he can only spoon it to Finch at short midwicket. Poor execution there 165/7Extras6 (lb 2, w 4)TOTAL174/7 (18.5 Overs, RR: 9.23)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (BJ Haddin, 0.2 ov), 2-21 (NJ Maddinson, 3.4 ov), 3-122 (MJ Lumb, 13.1 ov), 4-153 (MC Henriques, 15.6 ov), 5-155 (J Botha, 16.4 ov), 6-162 (JC Silk, 17.2 ov), 7-165 (SNJ O'Keefe, 17.5 ov)
