Innings break: The Renegades are bowled out for 150. Dismal effort in the end after a solid first 9.5 overs. Harper played well for his half-century but failed to kick on. Marsh and Harvey both threw away good starts and the tail fell away. The Stars pulled it back well. Zahir Khan and Adam Zampa were sensational with the ball again. Hatcher picked up three key wickets and bowled well in the Power Surge.

Ryan: "no boundaries in the last 32 balls (since 14.4). big let down considering the platform set by harper. sums up the gades this year. hope the bowling can prove us wrong!"

john taylor: "30/7 of the last 5 sums the renegades up this year"

Liam: "think the stars are getting a tad overconfident. the gades have a decent score. remember the derby final when they defending an even lower target? plus their bowling looks much stronger than the stars!"
