Full commentary
10.32 pm Maxwell sends everyone home a half-hour earlier than anticipated from the start of the night. Renegades batting unit made the pitch look far more challenging than it was in reality and Maxwell emphasizes that point by clobbering an impressive and unbeaten half-century to seal an easy win.
Glenn Maxwell, unsurprisingly the Player of the Match: "It was a lot of emotions there. We've had a pretty tough time for the last two weeks. We still feel like we're a chance to play this finals and have a say in who wins this trophy at the end of the tournament. I'm pretty cooked. The last week certainly took it out of me. It takes you awhile to get your full fitness back. It's the first time I'm back doing a lot of exercise where it's nice and warm. I seem to have always played nicely here. I feel like I've been batting really well this tournament. I've been going a bit too hard early but tonight I gave myself a bit more time. Hopefully it sets me up well at the back end of the tournament. The quicks set it up for the spinners. The way that Haris Rauf, Sam Rainbird and Brody Couch started, we had them under pressure before we used our spinners whereas in the past when spinners have come on, they've had too much to do."
That's it for us tonight. Come back tomorrow when we have a very early start in Adelaide for the Friday doubleheader. Until then, I'm Peter Della Penna. Take care!

googly lands short on fourth stump, Maxwell shuffles across and pulls this just wide of the man in the ring at short midwicket, whose leaping effort can't get a hand to the ball and it goes through wide long-on for two.
Zahir left-arm wristspin around the stumps.

Boyce to Maxwell, 2 runs
flighted full on the legs, top edges a sweep over square leg. Finch backpedaled from the ring rather than turning around and running the orthodox way toward the boundary and pays the price for his mangled footwork as the ball lands safely two yards behind him out of reach for another double.

Boyce to Maxwell, 2 runs
short on off, rocks back to smash a pull through wide midwicket, sliding stop on the rope. Could easily have run a third but he settles for two to keep strike. Brings up a 38-ball fifty in the process.
