- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.5 top edge and gone! Short of a length, Harris goes for the pull, goes straight up in the air behind the wicket and it's a simple catch 16/15.6 run out backing up! Oh my goodness, what a way to go...A full delivery, White pinged a straight drive, deflected off Bird's boot (it is nearly footy season) and Finch is well short 47/33.4 lobs back to the bowler, big wicket! Harper just wanted to attack. Short of a length, goes for the pull, just ends up slicing the ball back down the pitch 25/27.1 skids on, lbw! Terrific bit of bowling. Was beaten all ends up. Just back of a length, doesn't turn, slides straight on and he's back in the crease. Probably taking leg stump 49/410.2 oh you beauty! Zampa with the goods. A top class googly. Tossed right up at driving length and he looks to get it down to long-on. But the front leg is out of the way because he expects this to turn in. This keeps him short enough from the pitch of the ball to allow it to turn from middle and tonk the top of off 65/5Extras7 (lb 3, w 4)TOTAL145/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.25)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Marcus Harris, 1.5 ov), 2-25 (Sam Harper, 3.4 ov), 3-47 (Aaron Finch, 5.6 ov), 4-49 (Cameron White, 7.1 ov), 5-65 (Mackenzie Harvey, 10.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR14.6 he's got a wicket off his last ball! Dunk will be furious at himself for this. So solid all evening, but he looks to crunch this one despite long-off being quite straight. It's overpitched on off and he drills it flat to that fielder 99/312.6 through him! Nicce flight and dip on this from Boyce. Draws Stoinis in for a heave but gets it to land at a length and skid past the inside edge and hit leg stump. Lost his shape there 93/113.3 oh hello. Handscomb with his contribution to the make-this-final-close cause. Runs down the pitch, seemingly to lift this over mid-off. But he's swishing with all the grace of a cow tied to a revolving door, because this ball's gotten big on him from a length. Slices and mid-off runs to the left to hold on 94/215.1 oh boy! In less than three overs, Stars have completely handed the momentum to Renegades! Another ordinary shot. Short of a length ball coming in at his pads. He wants to use the pace and the angle to ramp this towards the long leg boundary. But he picks out deep square, a few yards inside. 4 for 6 this collapse! 99/416.6 and they get the wicket! Gurney goes around the wicket and bowls a slower ball that slants across from a length on middle and leg. He's down early for the paddle/ramp, probably a good option, but he doesn't account for the slower ball. Has to check the shot and he gets a top edge that lobs up harmlessly for finch at short fine 108/517.1 he's picked out deep midwicket! Oh dear, oh dear! That makes it 6 for 15 in 26 balls! Offcutte,r full on leg stump. Leans into it and makes good connection on what is an intentional chip. But the boundary is big there and you need to get the angles absolutely right. He doesn't 108/617.5 White takes it at point! And he has no idea what sort of a celebration to pull out. Awkwardly lobs it up. Not sure anyone can comprehend this collapse right now. Bravo has managed to get a leading edge on a leg side full toss. That's what pressure does. Could have tickled it fine, could have clubbed it over midwicket, but it's a swish with the top hand coming off 112/7Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL132/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.6)Fall of wickets: 1-93 (Marcus Stoinis, 12.6 ov), 2-94 (Peter Handscomb, 13.3 ov), 3-99 (Ben Dunk, 14.6 ov), 4-99 (Glenn Maxwell, 15.1 ov), 5-108 (Nic Maddinson, 16.6 ov), 6-108 (Seb Gotch, 17.1 ov), 7-112 (Dwayne Bravo, 17.5 ov)
