10.28 pm Hurricanes hold on by six runs in dramatic fashion. They'll be moving on to the playoffs but their seed is still up in the air. They could be fourth, or theoretically get as high as three depending on net run rate though that is outlandish.

Hurricanes captain Matthew Wade: "We're doing what we can with the ball. It's challenging at times. We have a lot of allrounders and a lot of bowlers. Our starts in the first 10 overs, we were whacked all over the park but we dragged it back nicely. Our spinners are really really good. To get four overs out of D'Arcy as a second spinner is really good."

That's it from us tonight. Come back tomorrow for the final day BBL triple header. I'm Peter Della Penna, take care!

W
Meredith to Sutherland, OUT

thigh high full toss on middle stump... is flubbed once again skying this over mid-on. Simple catch taken on the ring. Renegades got two juicy meatball full tosses off the final three balls and could only manage one run off both. They deserve to lose. Hobart Hurricanes have clinched the final playoff spot. Melbourne Stars are knocked out of playoff contention.

Will Sutherland c Wade b Meredith 6 (4b 1x4 0x6 6m) SR: 150

Super Over still in play. Six needed to tie....

Meredith to Sutherland, FOUR runs

overpitched on off, driven firmly back down the pitch and whistles to the rope through mid-off.

11 off 2 to win now. Six and four to send this game to a Super Over.

19.4
1
Meredith to Harper, 1 run

rib high full toss on the stumps, flubs a pull tamely behind square leg. Lucky to call this a legal delivery. But it should've sailed for six regardless. The fact that it went for a single and wasn't called a no ball tells you everything about the Renegades season...

19.3
1
Meredith to Sutherland, 1 run

full on fifth stump, driven firmly but picks out David at extra cover for a single.

Jigar: "We can safely say MR is same like PBKS of IPL. Can make an nail biter out of easy chase anytime.. "

Meredith to Harper, 1 bye

slower ball lands short on the stumps, Harper shuffles well across to pull and misses. The scamper through for a bye.

15 off the last over needed now when they needed 18 off 12 balls. Renegades have thrown away a very dominant position. Hurricanes bowled and fielded poorly for most of the chase but are on the verge of escaping with the final BBL playoff berth. Renegades must win this to keep the Stars in the playoff hunt to set up a winner takes all regular season finale against Hurricanes tomorrow night for the final playoff spot. If the Hurricanes hold on, it's a dead rubber tomorrow.

2
Rogers to Harper, 2 runs

slower ball lands full on fifth stump, tapped gently through midwicket for a well-run two.

Three wickets, five runs in the last eight balls. Renegades are showing why they are in last place for the second year in a row.

18.5
W
Rogers to Merlo, OUT

full on middle, drives flat to D'Arcy Short and another easy catch is taken at head height 12 yards inside the rope.

Jonathan Merlo c Short b Rogers 1 (3b 0x4 0x6 7m) SR: 33.33

From 18 off 12 balls, Renegades now need 17 off 8. Melbourne Stars squad members are suddenly sweating bullets watching from their homes and hotel rooms as their playoff hopes hang by a thread...

18.4
W
Rogers to Finch, OUT

slower ball full and wide, toe slaps this to David at long-off. It floats gently to him 10 yards inside the rope for a simple catch at head height.

Aaron Finch c David b Rogers 75 (52b 6x4 4x6 82m) SR: 144.23
18.3
Rogers to Finch, no run

yorker follows Finch backing away from leg, just misses leg stump.

18.2
1
Rogers to Merlo, 1 run

full and wide, sliced to backward point. They set off for a suicide run. Extremely rushed throw from his knees is sloppy to the bowler. A more assured effort would've led to a simple runout at the bowler's end.

18.1
Rogers to Merlo, no run

good length ball on off, punched back to the bowler.

W
Lamichhane to Chand, OUT

full on sixth stump, goes to slog sweep this, has to reach out a long way to try and drag this back to the leg side. Mistimes it and its more of a top edge that flutters to Jewell who settles under it at deep midwicket and takes a crouching catch with hands cupped in front of his face sliding to hold on seven yards inside the rope.
