Agar's last-ball six seals thriller for Scorchers
Michael Klinger's 55-ball 72 and Mitchell Marsh's brutal 34 were also vital to Perth Scorchers' sixth win over Melbourne Renegades in six matches
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
One of the great joys of the BBL is that it has made household names of the likes of Michael Klinger, who - rightly or wrongly - has never played international cricket. Klinger, the BBL's most prolific batsmen ever, has been the Man of the Match (with 105 then 91, both unbeaten) in the Scorchers' last three wins over the Renegades and, with rain falling outside and the roof on, played the game's defining hand here.
The Renegades' best laid plans went to waste when Dwayne Bravo suffered a game-ending - and perhaps worse? - hamstring injury fielding in the 11th over of the Scorchers' chase. At that stage they were one down and needed 81 off 57. Bravo had bowled just one over; the loss of his three overs meant the misfiring Nathan Rimmington had to be bowled out (at a cost of 45) and Finch had to bowl two. Briefly, remarkably, it looked like they might have got away with it.
Offspinner Ashton Turner's name is as fine a case of nominative determinism as cricket can currently offer. Anyway, spin has historically played a big role at Docklands Stadium, and his excellent performance set the path for the rest of the game. Turner's first over only fuelled the Renegades' excellent start, as Marcus Harris thumped him for two fours. Adam Voges persisted with Turner, and that paid dividends when Harris top-edged a sweep to deep midwicket. After Cameron White and Callum Ferguson put on 50, back came Turner to begin the stall; his four overs cost just 25, and he had White caught at deep midwicket.
A fine night for Mitchell, but not so much for Shaun, as both look to hustle their way back into the Australian squad for the final Test of the summer, which will be named on Friday. Shaun has fond memories of this ground, having put on 171 with Klinger last year to seal that 10-wicket win. The pair extended their unbeaten run to 207, but Shaun struggled on Thursday. His tortuous seven took 14 balls, with just three of them resulting in runs. There was one lovely slash through point for four and drive through mid-off for two; the rest was a tale of ugly timing.
