Renegades vs Scorchers, 13th Match at Melbourne, Dec 30 2015 - Match Result
Scorchers won by 10 wickets (with 8 balls remaining)
10.20pm What a sensational chase that was. I don't think I've seen too many tough chases been made to look so easy in T20 history. Klinger and Shaun marsh were in total control from the start, and barring a few chips and edges, there were no opportunities created, such was their control. First ten-wicket win in BBL history and thoroughly deserved. Renegades' bowlers had no answers to that stand. That will be it from us, until next time, ciao.
Klinger is the Man of the Match: "I though 170 was a pretty good score, didn't slow up as much as I thought it would. Its certainly not the WACA, we knew we could target someone in the last 12 overs. We back our young guys in all formats. I'll keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully it will fall for me one day."
