Get Ball by Ball Commentary of Melbourne Renegades vs Hobart Hurricanes, Big Bash League 2025, 8th Match

10:24pm That will be all from us for today. We hope you enjoyed our coverage and you can stay updated with all that is happening around the world courtesy ESPNcricinfo. Until next time, from all of us here, it is goodbye!

Chris Jordan, Player of the Match: We played one extra batter today, so someone had to step up in the powerplay. My name got called (laughs). A little disappointed with the way we got beat (against the Stars). It was important we put things right tonight. Pride myself on keeping my body as fit as possible, doing long on to long on, bowl four overs and then whack a few (with the bat).

10:19pm A proper rout in the end. The Hurricanes needed less than 14 overs to get the job done, with Chaudhary front and centre of their charge. He walked in after Owen was dismissed for a golden duck, but fought fire with fire, smashing the ball to all parts and knocking the stuffing out of the Renegades. McDermott continued his stellar start to the season, ensuring he was there at the end.

An evening to forget for the Renegades. They struggled with the bat, and struggled with the ball too. They could not apply any sort of pressure and once the Hurricanes came hard at them, they could also not respond adequately. A defeat that will probably sting, but one they could use to fuel their BBL charge.

13.5

Sutherland to McDermott, SIX, That will be that! McDermott finishes things in style! Another half-tracker outside off. McDermott lines it up and then thumps it flat over deep mid wicket. A fitting way to ice what was a commanding run-chase, and the Hurricanes have put the MCG disappointment behind them to bounce back in stirring fashion!

Sutherland to David, 1 run, Full outside off. David clears his front leg and heaves it towards wide long on

Sutherland to David, SIX, That is a mighty hit! Marginally short just outside off. Sits up for David and he pummels this a mile over deep square leg!

13.1

11.6

Sandhu to Chaudhary, OUT, caught on the fence, and Chaudhary's party is over! Cutter dug into the track outside off. Chaudhary thinks he can smash this out of sight too but for a change, mistimes it slightly. Does not get the elevation he wants and JFM, moving swiftly to his right on the deep mid wicket fence, gobbles up the chance!
