9.20pm An excellent chase from Melbourne Renegades to get their season off to a great start. Chasing 181 was never going to be easy, but they paced it to perfection and played out the best bowlers and yet left themselves enough time to chase this down with three balls to spare. Finch led excellently and was ably supported by Cameron White, who made an excellent fifty of his own. In the end, Dwayne Bravo applied the finishing touches to an excellent game. And with that it is a warp from us, till next time, see you.

Aaron Finch is the Man of the Match: "It was a really good chase, Chris took the pressure off the rest of us. We were targeting the short boundary but didn't execute well enough. My drop catch was a bit embarrassing and cost us about 10 runs in the end. We have been training hard and training well."

Steketee to Dwayne Bravo, 1 wide

full and wide, outside the tramline but Bravo was standing on off stump, he missed his flick and the umpire calls it a wide. Massive call that

Steketee to Wade, 1 run

lots of luck. Short on off, Wade goes for the slog but gets a thick top edge which flies to third man. Bravo scampers back for the second but is sent back just in time, he makes his ground easily but the bat bounces up as he makes it back. Lots of doubt to be given would be my presumption. Huge moment tin the game, and not out is the verdict.
