Melbourne Stars vs Melbourne Renegades, 22nd Match, Big Bash League 2025-26 - Highlights

Gurinder Sandhu to Haris Rauf, out Tom Curran Run Out!! Swing and a miss from Rauf, and Curran has been run-out at the non-striker's end. There was hesitation from both batters on whether to go for the bye. Eventually neither of them committed to it while also being out of their crease. Rizwan has a crack at the stumps, misses, but it goes through to Sandhu who takes down the stumps at his end. Tom Curran run out (Rizwan/Gurinder Sandhu) 38(18) [4s-5 6s-2]

Gurinder Sandhu to Haris Rauf, FOUR, superb from Haris Rauf! Dug in short on off, he arches back, opens the face and glides it over the man at short third. Stars have gone over 170 - what a comeback!

Gurinder Sandhu to Mitchell Swepson, out Bowled!! Cleans him up behind the legs! He walks a fair way across the stumps trying to pick the gap through the on-side, gets a full toss and misses completely. Crashes into the base of middle. Mitchell Swepson b Gurinder Sandhu 10(5) [6s-1]

Gurinder Sandhu to Mitchell Swepson, SIX, Swepson joins the party! Slower length ball outside off, Swepson picks it, waits on it and smashes it down the ground

Sutherland to Tom Curran, FOUR, oh well done! He tries another yorker, ends up being a low full toss outside off and Curran opens the face to guide it past short third. He has raced to 38 off just 18!

Sutherland to Tom Curran, SIX, proper smash down the ground! Slower length ball just outside off, he goes flat-batted and picks the bones out of it, tonking it over the sightscreen. Hell of a shot off the back foot

Behrendorff to Tom Curran, FOUR, now round the wicket, angles it into the body and Curran smokes it over midwicket. It's a slower one that sits up around the waist and he nails the pull shot

Behrendorff to Tom Curran, SIX, Curran playing a blinder here! Short of length into the body, he gets under it nicely, opens the hip and pulls it high and long over deep backward square

Gurinder Sandhu to Tom Curran, FOUR, Fraser-McGurk has made a meal of this at the midwicket boundary. Was on the mic with the on-air comms and is now left red-faced. Short of length into the body, pulled hard, straight to deep midwicket and it should've only been a single. He hardly gets a hand on it

Gurinder Sandhu to Tom Curran, FOUR, straying down leg and Curran pounces all over it! Back of a length, slower one and he pulls it over short fine

Gurinder Sandhu to Hilton Cartwright, out Caught by Sutherland!! Sandhu gets the big wicket of Cartwright! Short ball angled in, takes pace off it and Cartwright miscues the pull to mid-on. Got it high on the bat and Sutherland moved across to his right to complete a fairly straightforward catch. Stars now seven down with 22 balls still to play. Hilton Cartwright c Sutherland b Gurinder Sandhu 28(19) [4s-2 6s-2]

Sutherland to Hilton Cartwright, FOUR, not a great delivery and put away! Tries the yorker, ends up being a low full toss outside off and it's an easy shot with the field up on the off-side. Cracks it away through the covers. Expensive first over in the Power Surge

Sutherland to Hilton Cartwright, FOUR, gets the yorker almost right but Cartwright still manages to squeeze it through the gap at extra cover. Sutherland didn't do much wrong there

Sutherland to Tom Curran, FOUR, got away with the previous loosener, not this time. Full on the pads, pace off at 126kph, and Curran flicks it past short fine

Callum Stow to Campbell Kellaway, out Caught by Gurinder Sandhu!! Goes for a big shot and perishes! Couldn't get close to the pitch despite stepping out, still went through with the lofted shot and the ball turned away to catch the outside half. It's sliced up in the air and Sandhu hangs on at long-off. Looked like he misjudged it slightly as he ran in too far. But managed to recover well. Campbell Kellaway c Gurinder Sandhu b Callum Stow 33(27) [4s-3]

Matthew Spoors to Hilton Cartwright, SIX, huge from Cartwright! Right in the slot for the step-hit and he sends it a long way back over long-on. Had to reach out slightly as the googly was floated up wide of off. Used his long levers to good effect

Matthew Spoors to Hilton Cartwright, SIX, tonks the full toss over long-on! Advances down the pitch, turns it into a juicy full toss and connects well enough to clear the man

Hassan Khan to Campbell Kellaway, FOUR, the fielder misjudges it in the deep! Should've only been a single, ends up being a boundary. Flat and slightly short, Kellaway rocks back to pull, hits it well but should've been cut off at deep midwicket. However, the fielder is left wrong-footed

Gurinder Sandhu to Stoinis, out Caught by Josh Brown!! That's a daft dismissal and the Stars keep losing wickets - slower short ball and he was looking to ramp it over the keeper's head, but call Stoinis can do is to ride it right off the toe-end and the ball lobs in the direction of short fine. A simple catch for Brown and the Stars captain walks away in dismay. Stoinis c Josh Brown b Gurinder Sandhu 16(14) [4s-2]

Gurinder Sandhu to Stoinis, FOUR, lovely, back of a length and well wide of off - Stoinis waits and then cuts it late, piercing the gap behind square on the off-side for a boundary

Callum Stow to Campbell Kellaway, FOUR, hammered, tossed up and drifting down leg - Kellaway sets himself up beautifully and goes hard on the slog-sweep, places it in front of square on the on-side and beats the men in he deep

Hassan Khan to Stoinis, FOUR, nicely played, Stoinis brings out the reverse paddle first up - gets down low, rides the bounce and places it very fine, beating short third to the ropes

Hassan Khan to Maxwell, out Caught by Matthew Spoors!! Oh dear! This is so poor from the experienced campaigner and the Stars find themselves in a hole - well bowled by Hassan, slowed down the pace and drifted one across the right-hander, Maxwell had backed away and was undone by the flight, went through with the swipe, gets a massive top-edge and holes out to long-on. Maxwell c Matthew Spoors b Hassan Khan 1(4)

Sutherland to Macdonald, out Caught by Rizwan!! A thin edge and Macdonald fails to make most of his promotion up the order - short and wide of off, Macdonald saw the width and went hard on the cut, gets a faint top-edge and Rizwan does the rest. All off a sudden, the Stars have lost three wickets. Macdonald c Rizwan b Sutherland 3(6)

Hassan Khan to Macdonald, 1 run, tossed up on middle and leg, punched down to long-on for a single

Hassan Khan to Campbell Kellaway, FOUR, a thick outside edge, but Campbell Kellaway has split the men between backward point and short third - charged down the pitch and was undone by the flight, went hard on the drive and the ball caught the thick outside edge

Callum Stow to Thomas Rogers, out Caught by Fraser-McGurk!! Stow gets his 1st wicket of the season - flighted delivery on off and Rogers was looking to take him on with the slog-sweep - the match-up was in his favour, but he doesn't get hold of the shot, hit slightly low on the bat and he picks out the man in the deep at mid-wicket to perfection. Thomas Rogers c Fraser-McGurk b Callum Stow 15(13) [4s-1]

Behrendorff to Campbell Kellaway, 1 run, a run-out chance at the striker's end, Thomas Rogers was scrambling and could've been struggling with a direct hit - would've been short by a long way - flicked straight to Brown at short fine and Kellaway set-off

Gurinder Sandhu to Sam Harper, out Caught by Fraser-McGurk!! Man in the deep, JFM moves to his left and completes a good catch under the sun - short of a good length and Harper swivelled across on the front-foot pull, huge boundaries at the 'G' and he doesn't get enough on the shot, went very high and towards deep mid-wicket where JFM completed a fine catch. Sam Harper c Fraser-McGurk b Gurinder Sandhu 20(10) [4s-1 6s-1]

Gurinder Sandhu to Sam Harper, SIX, hammered, Harper is leading a flying start for the Strars once again - pitched up just outside off - Harper leans forward and then drives it through the line, sends it high over mid-off for a maximum

Behrendorff to Thomas Rogers, FOUR, cracking shot, JFM does all the hard yards, sprints to his right at deep square leg, sldes and gets to the ball, but it then pops up off his body and rolls over the ropes - was short and Rogers swivelled across on the pull past mid-wicket, 14 off the over

Behrendorff to Sam Harper, FOUR, short, wide and four, width on offer and Harper doesn't miss out - backs away, gets on top of the bounce and then cuts it up and over backward point for a boundary
