10.20pm How do so many of these games come alive so late? It was a cruise of a run-chase till the last few overs when bats got stuck in the turf, needless run-outs and exotic scoops brought the game back. But so hard it is to defend 130 that in spite of that, the Perth Scorchers romped home with six balls to spare.
In the end, the Renegades' score was just not enough. Brad Hogg, Dwayne Bravo and some disciplined bowling made things interesting for a while, but it was always going to be a tough task.
