That brings an end to our coverage today. Big double header day coming up with Sydney Sixers taking on Hobart Hurricanes, and Perth Scorchers facing off against Adelaide Strikers tomorrow. Hope to see you then. Until then, it's goodbye. Thank you for joining us.
Aaron Finch has been named Man of the Match for his 37-ball 63 which set up the platform for Renegades' total.
So Thunder have slipped to their second consecutive defeat. This was not the start to the title defense they would have hoped for at the start of the season. It seemed as though Renegades and Thunder were batting on different surfaces. But all credit to Renegades' bowlers for making run-scoring hard through intelligent variations of pace. Brad Hogg and Sunil Narine used their guile and variations to pick up wickets, while Dwayne Bravo kept the pressure on at the other end, taking the pace off the ball and forcing the batsmen to use their power to clear the ground which isn't always easy.Ryan Gibson and Ben Rohrer made decent contributions, but didn't exactly score at the pace needed while chasing 180. Cummins was the only batsman who was able to hit them quick, and long and hard. He has worked on his power-hitting over the last few months and that is starting to show. The rest cut a sorry figure.
Shyve: "16.5 and 16.6 not played by Cummins. " The second one was as they had crossed over. 16.5 has been corrected. Thanks
