Full commentary
That is that then, an easy win in the end for the Renegades after it looked at one stage that they had made a hash of the chase. Cooper's 15-ball 29, followed by some sensible batting from Ben Rohrer helped the side past the target. Eight points for Renegades, which keeps them at the top of the points table and they continue to remain the only undefeated side in the competition.
The Heat will think they allowed the opposition to get out of jail on a sluggish track and they remain in the bottom half of the points table.

Perera to Sheridan, FOUR runs
not a great ball, it was wide outside the off, very full too and allows the batsman enough room to hit it anywhere square off the off side, he drives through wide mid-off and for a four!

Perera to Rohrer, FOUR runs
round the stumps and angling in, that is tucked away to fine-leg for a four! there was no fielder outside the circle and easily beats the in-fielder through to the fence, this is getting over very quickly
After making heavy weather of the chase, the Renegades are in the driver's seat now. 14 needed from 12 and Perera comes in now.

Roach to Cooper, OUT
and now he is gone, lbw! if the first one was short, this is very full and straight and Cooper was on the back foot trying to flick it away, misses and the ball hits the back-foot, in line with the off stump and given out lbw!

smashed 'im! that is a biggie first ball and big one in terms of the context of the game, it was short and he walked across to the off side and pulled it over fine-leg for a six!
