Full commentary

10.25pm Sensational chase that has been, led by captain Moises Henriques and Michael Lumb, both of whom hit match-changing fifties. Sixers get their second win of the season. They chase down 173 with 7 balls to spare, when at one point, they needed 101 off 60. They stuttered towards the end but in the end, it was done easily. Renegades failed to find wickets in the middle period and that proved to be the difference in the end.

Michael Lumb is the Man of the Match: "Feeling pretty good, important to get a partnership after a couple of early wickets. We rebuilt it and worked well. We bat all the ay down, some good youngsters in our side.

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
