Sydney Thunder win by six wickets with two balls to spare. Overall that was very well managed chase, started by Usman Khawaja and then continued by Alex Hales. The Renegades were maybe hampered a bit by a damp ball, but also fell a few runs short with the bat after an excellent start. The Thunder have made an early statement in this tournament with two wins from two. There's a double-header tomorrow with Hobart Hurricanes taking on Sydney Sixers in Alice Springs then Brisbane Heat face Melbourne Stars on the Gold Cost. You can keep following all our IPL auction coverage here, but for now it's goodbye and thanks for joining us.

Gleeson to Ross, FOUR, hammered! That's the win Well, that takes away all the doubt. Full outside off and Ross crunches it straight down the ground
That was superb awareness from Harper...Duke: "How was that not a wide?"

Gleeson to Gilkes, OUT, has he been run out? Yes, well out! It was a short ball down the leg side, he missed the pull...Harper, who hurls his glove glove off, threw to the non-striker's end where Gleeson collected, then rolled the ball into the stumps. He's well short
M Gilkes run out 15 (20b 0x4 0x6) SR: 75.00
Four in the off-side ring. Everyone out on the leg side
