10:40pm: And that's all we have tonight, as the Renegades have the first win of their season. We'll be back with more BBL action tomorrow with the big Sydney derby as the Thunder take on the Sixers. Until then, on behalf of our scorer K Vairavan, this is Aaditya Narayan signing off. Good night, take care.

Jake Fraser-McGurk is the Player of the Match

"Very happy to get our first win of the season. Don't know a lot about it (Clarke's injury), so didn't want to risk too much. (On Marsh) Just an old head, just to have that experience and know-how there was so good for us tonight. There's always been belief but there a point a year and a half ago, where I thought I needed to do something different. I did that, and it's starting to turn a bit now and hopefully keeps going. I do enjoy hitting sixes. As I said the other night, it's like getting a nice drive in golf. In bowlers' terms, it's like bowling someone out"

10:35pm: Right then, the Renegades are on the board in terms of wins this season. The Strikers, meanwhile, have now lost eight away games in a row. 177 seemed like a good score, but they had the game taken away from them by two stunning knocks. First Jake Fraser-McGurk went his own merry way and showed incredible intent right from the off. He found the perfect foil in the experience of Shaun Marsh, who played a superbly calculated innings, especially against the spin of Cameron Boyce. Both those fities mean that the Renegades now have their first win of the season

Tom Rogers, then. Can he finish it off without a hiccup? They've retired Clarke hurt again! Zampa has walked in alongwith Rogers

18.2
W
Payne to Marsh, OUT

Marsh will not finish it off for the Renegades! That's a stunning yorker from Payne, Marsh plays all over it and sees the timber disturbed. The experienced man has done his job though, he has played a stunning hand for his side in this game

Shaun Marsh b Payne 54 (33b 3x4 4x6 63m) SR: 163.63
18.1

17.3

Overton to Clarke, FOUR runs

Shot! His quad may render his feet a bit problematic but no problem with those hands, he moves away outside leg, Overton follows him, Clarke whips it superbly in front of square for another boundary

slower ball, short of a length, Clarke looks to cut it away, but doesn't get any timing on it, it goes through to Nielsen on the bounce off a thick inside edge

Payne to Clarke, FOUR runs

And that's what he's walked out for! Low full toss angling in to him from around the wicket, Clarke times it beautifully past extra cover and gets a boundary. He really is struggling to move though.

Payne to Sutherland, OUT

One shot too many! Slower ball again, he looks to belt this one over long-on, but gets too much elevation on it and can't find the distance. Hose makes no mistake this time at long-on.

on pace this time, full and wide outside off, Sutherland flays it over extra cover and finds a boundary that takes the Renegades closer

16.1
Payne to Sutherland, no run

slower ball, back of a length on off stump, cuts away, Sutherland looks to force it on the offside but misses it

The Renegades have taken the power surge now.

Colin: "On TV they're talking as if there's some doubt that MR will win this. It's a done deal, isn't it?" -- Given how they went the other night in Perth, one can't be sure with this team, Colin. They are in a superb position though
