That brings the curtains down for Sydney Thunder this season. They're eliminated, and join Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Stars as the teams that can't make the play-offs. What a terrific game of T20 cricket, though. Hope you enjoyed ESPNcricinfo's coverage of the match. It's good bye for now!

Zubair Hameed: "My man of the match is Webster! Without his 4 ball 18, the match would have been lost in penultimate over!!"

11.03 pm Dwayne Bravo: "A win is a win. Richardson was excellent, and so was Pollard in the final over. Onto Brisbane now."

19.6
W
Pollard to McClenaghan, OUT

slower ball full on middle stump, McClenaghan misses the slog and that's lbw. Impact in front of middle stump and Renegades win by nine runs! Renegades move to third for now, but not confirmed of qualification yet. They still have a game to go. Sydney Thunder are eliminated.

Mitchell McClenaghan lbw b Pollard 9 (8b 0x4 0x6) SR: 112.5

Jay: "Please please please do now bowl any No balls Pollard! Thank you"

19.5
1
Pollard to Fawad, 1 run

low full toss on off stump, bunted to midwicket for only a single

19.4
Pollard to Fawad, no run

back of a length outside off stump, slower ball that Fawad can't pull. Misses the shot, and it shoud've been a wide with the ball going over his head. But it's called a dot

19.3
1
Pollard to McClenaghan, 1 run

yorker on leg stump, pinged to deep midwicket as he hits it too well. No chance of a second run here. No. 11 will have to face the next ball

19.2
2
Pollard to McClenaghan, 2 runs

slower ball on off stump, muscled towards the leg side. Not hit hard enough, and allows the batsman to complete another second

19.1
W
Pollard to Green, OUT

full outside off, tries to slog this over the bowler's head, but this time Green slices it. In the air, and it's taken by the man at point. Slight drift away from the fielder as the ball comes down to Earth, but he composes himself and completes the catch

Chris Green c Wildermuth b Pollard 22 (14b 0x4 2x6) SR: 157.14

One reckons Green holds the key here. Pollard to bowl the final over. He conceded 15 off his first over. Fifteen more would do for certain for Thunder

1
Tremain to Green, 1 run

full and wide outside off, crunched off the front foot to deep point. Green will keep the strike. Fourteen needed for Thunder to keep their season alive

18.5
Tremain to Green, no run

overpitched full outside off, lands just inside the guidelines. Terrific delivery. Dot ball as the batsman can't reach out to it

18.4
2
Tremain to Green, 2 runs

full toss outside off, smacked to deep extra cover off the back foot. Green's taking the fielder on, and he manages to complete the second run. Fifteen needed off 8

18.3
1
Tremain to McClenaghan, 1 run

knee-high full toss on middle stump, clipped hard to the man at deep midwicket

18.2
2
Tremain to McClenaghan, 2 runs

full on middle stump, mistimed slog towards the leg side. Played so gently that it allows McClenaghan to take another double. Only 18 needed off 10 now

18.1
2lb
Tremain to McClenaghan, 2 leg byes

full on leg stump, tries a leg-side flick and misses. Raps his pads and Tremain goes up for the lbw appeal. But not out. Pitched probably outside leg stump, but they scamper across for the single. Wayward throw allows them to collect the extra run

Paul AJ Saw: "Man of the Match? Harris or Richardson. It'd be close. But I'd go Richardson. He's just changed the match in these past couple of overs." -- Depends who wins! It's close...

Kane Richardson to Sandhu, OUT

full on off stump, tries an extravagant slog towards the leg side, but the leading edge takes it to wide long off instead. Simple catch in the deep. This time it's Webster, and Richardson takes his fourth
