Coulter-Nile to Boyce, SIX, that's a handy hit from Boyce! Sat deep in the crease and Coulter-Nile missed the yorker by the faintest of margins. Dumped over long-off for a maximum. Perfect start to the over for the Renegades

Kelly to Christian, out Tom Cooper Run Out!! Excellent stuff from Kelly! Never easy making a stop in your followthrough but he did so and also fired in a direct hit at the keeper's end. Tom Cooper was always struggling to get there, not even in the frame eventually. Started with a fine yorker, Christian could only get a faint inside edge onto the pad. Late decision to the pinch the single and turned out to be fatal in the end. Tom Cooper run out (Kelly) 19(17) [4s-3]

Coulter-Nile to Christian, FOUR, not where he intended but it doesn't matter at this stage of the innings. Christian backed away for the flashy cut and only got a thick edge that was wide of the keeper. Very fine and away to the third man fence

Coulter-Nile to Tom Cooper, FOUR, not that bad a ball, nearly the perfect wide yorker but Cooper has reached it and sliced this well over backward point. Third man was always going to lose the race

Usman Qadir to Tom Cooper, FOUR, crunched away! Cooper hit this so hard and left long-off with no chance. Slammed the full toss back past the bowler and away she went to the ropes in a jiffy
15.2
Usman Qadir to Cameron White, 2 runs, excellent effort from Hobson! Covered good ground coming in from sweeper cover, put in a terrific dive but it was always dipping on him. Doesn't carry and sneaks past him. Was a huge mishit from White as he looked to go big over cover. Gets a brace

Kelly to Tom Cooper, FOUR, just past a diving mid-wicket fielder! Was struck so well by Cooper though and it rocketed to the fence. He moved across a bit and Kelly just about missed the yorker, wristed away with that strong bottom hand of his

W
Kelly to Sam Harper, out Bowled!! Terrific yorker! Finally, a Scorchers bowler holds his nerve against Harper and the young bloke is out of here. He was backing away all innings, making room to play his shots. This time though, it's the pinpoint yorker attacking the sticks and he couldn't do much about it. Sam Harper b Kelly 37(26) [4s-3 6s-1]

Usman Qadir to Nabi, out Caught by Behrendorff!! The Scorchers finally hold on to one! Was flatter and fuller outside off, Nabi sat deep in the crease and wanted to drill this down the ground over long-off. Didn't get the desired elevation and it went flat towards the deep where Behrendorff did the rest. Nabi c Behrendorff b Usman Qadir 17(13) [4s-1 6s-1]

Mitchell Marsh to Sam Harper, SIX, superb stuff from the young bloke! He's certainly been a revelation this season. Not that bad a ball this, on a length around middle and leg, he already moved across for the scoop straight back over the keeper's head. Guess what? It's gone all the way!

Mitchell Marsh to Sam Harper, FOUR, Harper is just batting so proactively. Backs away again and feasts on the short of a length delivery. Width on offer and he just lifts it over point. Easy peasy
11.3

Tye to Nabi, SIX, crisply struck! Nabi is such a clean striker of the ball and shows it again here. Sits deep in the crease and gets a full ball from Tye, backs away to club this over cover for a flat maximum

Behrendorff to Nabi, FOUR, nicely struck! Short and wide from Behrendorff, Nabi just makes a bit of room by backing away and cuts it behind point. No protection in the deep there

Tye to Mackenzie Harvey, out Caught by Mitchell Marsh!! Tye strikes and it's a slower one that does the trick for him, like most of the times. Mackenzie Harvey doesn't spot the slower delivery and he's a touch early his lofted drive. Miscues it to mid-off where Marsh junior takes it without much trouble. Mackenzie Harvey c Mitchell Marsh b Tye 38(32) [4s-6]

Usman Qadir to Sam Harper, FOUR, shimmies down the wicket and flicks the tossed up delivery to fine leg

Coulter-Nile to Mackenzie Harvey, FOUR, that's not a great effort by the fielder at long-on. This should've been stopped. On the pads and Mackenzie Harvey clips it uppishly. Just about manages to beat the fielder's sloppy effort in the deep

Coulter-Nile to Sam Harper, FOUR, touch short outside off, Sam Harper makes room and slaps it over covers. Beats the sprinter in the deep comfortably

Kelly to Finch, out Caught by Coulter-Nile!! Finch knew he had messed it up, the moment he hit this shot. Grunts out in frustration as he fails to get the distance on this one. Was a miscued loft by the batsman that skied up to extra cover. NCN keeps his eyes on the ball, jogs back and reverse cups it. Finch c Coulter-Nile b Kelly 8(12) [4s-1]

Kelly to Mackenzie Harvey, FOUR, the boundaries have started to come and that too at a brisk pace. This was full in length outside off and Mackenzie Harvey plays an uppish drive, clears covers and finds the fence

Behrendorff to Mackenzie Harvey, FOUR, just like the last over, even this one ends with a boundary. Behrendorff bowls this one very full and on the pads and all Harvey does is chip it over mid-wicket. No fielder in the deep and that's the third boundary of the over. 15 runs off that

Behrendorff to Mackenzie Harvey, FOUR, back to back boundaries! On the pads and Mackenzie Harvey flicks it uppishly to long leg. The fielder in the deep was a touch square, hence it was always going to be difficult to stop this

Behrendorff to Mackenzie Harvey, FOUR, streaky! Short ball directed at the ribs of the batsman, Harvey goes for a pull and gets a top-edge that eludes the keeper and finds the fence

Kelly to Mackenzie Harvey, FOUR, good over for the Scorchers! This was slightly full in length outside off, Mackenzie Harvey reaches for it and chips it over covers. Clears the infield and ends the over with four runs

Kelly to Finch, FOUR, not convincing enough, but here's their first boundary. This was on a shorter length around off, Finch makes room and swipes across. Wasn't middled as it came off the top-edge and flew down to the third man fence
