Hobart Hurricanes win by four runs and that was some performance by Nathan Ellis to close that out in the final over after going for 20 in the 18th. A very good T20 match. The Renegades gave it a terrific shake and it looked like they would win when Nabi was going. For the Hurricanes it keeps their season alive, they can still squeeze into fifth spot. A good night for their young players with Mac Wright playing a key innings after Wade had blazed away. Phew, that was fun.

Mac Wright is Player of the Match: "What a finish, great finish from Nathan. It was a really good game. He [Nabi] was smashing them. I was pretty nervous, it was by first catch, too, and I lost it in the lights."

I'll wrap things up for there for tonight. We'll have Strikers v Stars tomorrow so see you for that. Thanks for joining us.

Rose to Webster, 1 run

miles in the air, but lands safe in the off side! How did that not go to hand. Well bowled again, was brave to send it down a touch slower. He swings across the line and it's a huge top edge that goes a long way up

Rose to Webster, no run

very full, much slower, almost dips under the bat. Priceless dot

12 off 8

Hemant Tiwari: "No one acknowledges Nabi 50. Great knock" There's a bit going on, sorry! It was indeed a tremendous innings. Dan Christian the new man

18.4

Rose to M Nabi, OUT

taken at deep midwicket! Another twist. Was in the slot again, but Nabi dragged this to the leg side, the bat twisted a bit, and that's a superb low catch Wright under immense pressure
