Full commentary

A comprehensive win for the Melbourne Stars to start the campaign who post a massive 208 batting first with some blistering knock from the captain and Luke Wright. McKay and Bird shines with ball and nowhere Melbourne Renegades looked near to the target though Finch and Buttler tried their best. Luke Wright named Man of the Match for his knock of 70 and also grabs the important wicket of Finch. That's all we had for you guys tonight, do join us tomorrow for the match between Sixers and Thunder. Cheers!
