Sydney Thunder win by six wickets with two balls to spare. Overall that was very well managed chase, started by Usman Khawaja and then continued by Alex Hales. The Renegades were maybe hampered a bit by a damp ball, but also fell a few runs short with the bat after an excellent start. The Thunder have made an early statement in this tournament with two wins from two. There's a double-header tomorrow with Hobart Hurricanes taking on Sydney Sixers in Alice Springs then Brisbane Heat face Melbourne Stars on the Gold Cost. You can keep following all our IPL auction coverage here, but for now it's goodbye and thanks for joining us.

Gleeson to Ross, FOUR runs

hammered! That's the win Well, that takes away all the doubt. Full outside off and Ross crunches it straight down the ground

That was superb awareness from Harper...Duke: "How was that not a wide?"

Gleeson to Gilkes, OUT

has he been run out? Yes, well out! It was a short ball down the leg side, he missed the pull...Harper, who hurls his glove glove off, threw to the non-striker's end where Gleeson collected, then rolled the ball into the stumps. He's well short

Matthew Gilkes run out (†Harper/Gleeson) 15 (20b 0x4 0x6) SR: 75

Four in the off-side ring. Everyone out on the leg side

Gurney to Ross, FOUR runs

over the wicket, another misfield, what a moment! Full outside off, he drives square and it's straight through the hands of Finch. Oh dear. Like his IPL, that's costly

Gurney to Gilkes, 1 leg bye

round the wicket, big full toss on the pads, swings to the leg side and doesn't make contact...lucky to get away with that

15 off 12 balls should be comfortable, but you never know. Especially against the Renegades. Does Gurney bowl the 19th? Yes, he will.

oh, no, Harper can't get under swirling chance! Big top edge, loops miles into the sky and over the keeper. Not easy to judge but he got there, although didn't touch the gloves in the air. Tough one
