slower ball full on middle stump, McClenaghan misses the slog and that's lbw. Impact in front of middle stump and Renegades win by nine runs! Renegades move to third for now, but not confirmed of qualification yet. They still have a game to go. Sydney Thunder are eliminated.
Renegades vs Thunder, 37th Match at Canberra, Jan 24 2018 - Match Result
That brings the curtains down for Sydney Thunder this season. They're eliminated, and join Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Stars as the teams that can't make the play-offs. What a terrific game of T20 cricket, though. Hope you enjoyed ESPNcricinfo's coverage of the match. It's good bye for now!
Zubair Hameed: "My man of the match is Webster! Without his 4 ball 18, the match would have been lost in penultimate over!!"
11.03 pm Dwayne Bravo: "A win is a win. Richardson was excellent, and so was Pollard in the final over. Onto Brisbane now."
Jay: "Please please please do now bowl any No balls Pollard! Thank you"
low full toss on off stump, bunted to midwicket for only a single
back of a length outside off stump, slower ball that Fawad can't pull. Misses the shot, and it shoud've been a wide with the ball going over his head. But it's called a dot
yorker on leg stump, pinged to deep midwicket as he hits it too well. No chance of a second run here. No. 11 will have to face the next ball
slower ball on off stump, muscled towards the leg side. Not hit hard enough, and allows the batsman to complete another second
full outside off, tries to slog this over the bowler's head, but this time Green slices it. In the air, and it's taken by the man at point. Slight drift away from the fielder as the ball comes down to Earth, but he composes himself and completes the catch
One reckons Green holds the key here. Pollard to bowl the final over. He conceded 15 off his first over. Fifteen more would do for certain for Thunder
full and wide outside off, crunched off the front foot to deep point. Green will keep the strike. Fourteen needed for Thunder to keep their season alive
overpitched full outside off, lands just inside the guidelines. Terrific delivery. Dot ball as the batsman can't reach out to it
full toss outside off, smacked to deep extra cover off the back foot. Green's taking the fielder on, and he manages to complete the second run. Fifteen needed off 8
knee-high full toss on middle stump, clipped hard to the man at deep midwicket
full on middle stump, mistimed slog towards the leg side. Played so gently that it allows McClenaghan to take another double. Only 18 needed off 10 now
full on leg stump, tries a leg-side flick and misses. Raps his pads and Tremain goes up for the lbw appeal. But not out. Pitched probably outside leg stump, but they scamper across for the single. Wayward throw allows them to collect the extra run
Paul AJ Saw: "Man of the Match? Harris or Richardson. It'd be close. But I'd go Richardson. He's just changed the match in these past couple of overs." -- Depends who wins! It's close...
good length wide outside off, tapped to point but only a single. He'll keep strike
yorker on middle stump, turned towards the leg side with soft hands. Smart batting from MM, allows him to take the second run
Thunder need 25 off 14 balls. Remember they conceded 25 off their final over
low full toss on off stump, muscled away off the back foot to point. Well stopped by the infielder
around the wicket
full and wide outside off, and another big wind up from Green! Waits for the ball to get to him, and then smacks it over cow corner! What a terrific shot
Green on strike again
slower ball yorker on middle stump. Dug away towards cow corner, and they'll get a comfortable second
slower ball full outside off, Green winds up and smacks that through the line of the ball. Lands beyond the deep-midwicket boundary. The fans loved that!
full outside off, muscled over mid off, but falls short of Short at long off
Things getting difficult for the Thunder now. A loss, and they're eliminated.
full on off stump, tries an extravagant slog towards the leg side, but the leading edge takes it to wide long off instead. Simple catch in the deep. This time it's Webster, and Richardson takes his fourth
