Renegades register just their third win of this BBL campaign. Stars pick up a bonus point tonight for being ahead at the 10-over mark but they blow a golden chance to move into sole possession of second place on the table. Instead, they're level on 24 points with Perth Scorchers, however the Scorchers have a game in hand not to mention a colossal net run rate advantage. That's it from us tonight. Kudos to all those who stayed to the end. If you turned it off early, you missed out big time! Tremendous knock from Harvey seals a dramatic win. Come back tomorrow for more BBL action. For now, take care!
Mackenzie Harvey is Man of the Match: "I can't put it into words. To win at home after being so long away, I can't put it into words. It came off tonight. The time we've had away, the group we've had, we've stayed strong."
10,33 pm Renegades were lifeless at 97 for 5 in the 16th over and then seemingly out of nowhere, Harvey and Webster roast the death bowling for 63 runs off 25 balls to ambush the Stars.
19 runs in the over conceded by Nathan Coulter-Nile. Two rancid full tosses. Got his length wrong the entire over. Wasn't able to get a single yorker to land on the desired length. Renegades are snatching victory from the jaws of defeat thanks to Webster and Harvey.
