Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Renegades, 11th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Faulkner to K Richardson, out Caught by Riley Meredith!! Melbourne Renegades are bowled out within 20 overs. Faulkner picks up his third wicket. It was the back of the hand slower ball and Richardson could only slice his big hit, Meredith backtracks near mid-off and reverse cups it comfortably. K Richardson c Riley Meredith b Faulkner 2(3)

Nathan Ellis to Richard Gleeson, out Bowled!! Two in two for Ellis. He is on a hat-trick. The perfect yorker and Gleeson is not able to do much there, 136kph aimed right at the base of the stumps and Gleeson is well late in bringing his bat down, the ball sneaks through to crash into the furniture. Richard Gleeson b Nathan Ellis 0(1)

Nathan Ellis to Boyce, out Caught by Riley Meredith!! Another one bites the dust. The wheels are coming off the Renegades' innings. The slower short of length delivery and Boyce is not able to generate power to clear the long straight boundary, Meredith runs to his right near long-on and pouches it safely. Boyce c Riley Meredith b Nathan Ellis 5(5)

Riley Meredith to Tom Cooper, out Lbw!! Meredith almost did a celebrappeal. He knew he had his man as soon as Cooper missed that. Full, fast and straight at the stumps, Cooper is beaten for pace as he misses the flick and is struck right in front of off-stump, ball-tracking shows it to be crashing into middle - that is as plumb as you can get. Tom Cooper lbw b Riley Meredith 1(2)

Riley Meredith to Christian, out Caught by McDermott!! Superb riposte from Meredith. He dug it in the same length and the line was also the same, but he had rolled his fingers across the ball and hence Christian was fooled, he made room and went hard on the cut but the outside edge this time goes straight to McDermott. The Hurricanes have turned it around nicely since the departure of Finch. Christian c McDermott b Riley Meredith 12(7) [4s-2]

Riley Meredith to Christian, FOUR, 144.2kph short of length delivery and Christian had the right idea, moved away to give himself room and flashed hard, the outside edge flies over the short third man fielder

Qais Ahmad to Webster, out Lbw!! This time the impact was on and around off-stump and the umpire obliges to the LBW shout. Once more Webster goes for the sweep premeditatedly as the length was full and he was not able to get underneath that, it was the wrong 'un and ball-tracking shows it to be hitting the stumps. The impact was umpire's call so it was a good decision. Webster lbw b Qais Ahmad 11(11)

Faulkner to Christian, FOUR, Christian is up and running. This is going to be fun if he stays till the end. Faulkner offers width on this fullish delivery and Christian crunches the drive through cover, the short square boundaries ensure the sweeper does not get across

Faulkner to Marcus Harris, out Caught by Caleb Jewell!! Faulkner and his slower balls are still a thing. 106.9kph back of the hand slower delivery and Harris is deceived by the lack of pace, the idea was right to play the slog sweep but he was not able to generate the power to clear the deep mid-wicket fielder, Jewel steadies himself under it and takes it calmly. Marcus Harris c Caleb Jewell b Faulkner 20(15) [6s-1]

Riley Meredith to Finch, out Caught by Milenko!! Finch went "no" as soon as he made contact with the ball. He knew he had erred there and is livid with himself. Meredith gets the big wicket as he so often does for the Hurricanes. Full and angled in, Finch stays rooted to the crease and tries to whip it over mid-wicket, does not get the elevation and offers a relatively easy chance for Milenko at mid-wicket. Finch c Milenko b Riley Meredith 50(37) [4s-6]

Clive Rose to Finch, 1 run, fifty for Finch. First of the season and it couldn't have come at a better time. His team desparately needs a win and he has risen to the occasion. He waves his bat around and acknowledges the applause. Flighted outside off and Finch drives it towards extra cover

Clive Rose to Finch, FOUR, long hop outside off and Finch ain't missing out. He transfers his weight back, gets on top of the bounce and cracks the cut square of the wicket, no chance for the sweeper

Clive Rose to Finch, FOUR, this is a top shot. Yes it was overpitched but Finchy opened the bat face on the drive so that he can place it square of the wicket rather than hit it to sweeper cover, the timing was also good enough for it to beat the fielder

D Arcy Short to Finch, FOUR, the initial call was "two" from Finch but he had struck it well enough to fetch himself a boundary. Feeds a fullish flighted delivery and Finch drills it straight down, the long-off fielder was square and was not able to reach it

D Arcy Short to Marcus Harris, SIX, thanks for the early Christmas present says Harris. A half tracker and it just had to be put in the gap, swivels on the front foot and pulls it into the grass banks near the deep mid-wicket region

Nathan Ellis to Shaun Marsh, out Caught by Miller!! The lack of boundaries in the last few overs did Marsh here. He was feeling the pressure and looked to go big again. Takes on a full delivery from outside off and heaves it off the thick inside half which goes straight into the bucket hands of Miller at long-on. Shaun Marsh c Miller b Nathan Ellis 37(30) [4s-5 6s-1]

Nathan Ellis to Shaun Marsh, FOUR, full and right in the slot outside off, Marsh pummels the drive through covers and powers it along the ground off the strong bottom hand

Qais Ahmad to Shaun Marsh, byes, FOUR, that's a pacy bumper from Qais Ahmad. Short and flies off the deck as Marsh half-ducks on the leg-side, it beats the keeper to his right and races to the fence

Riley Meredith to Finch, 1 run, short and angling into the body, Finch half-swivels and despite getting hurried by the pace, he manages to control the pull along the ground through mid-wicket

Riley Meredith to Shaun Marsh, SIX, smashed! Cannot bowl short to Marsh and half-a-connection is good enough, Marsh doesn't swivel much...just allows his hands to take over and gets enough contact to get it flying over the boundary ropes

Clive Rose to Shaun Marsh, FOUR, fired fast onto the pads, Marsh leans back and times the punch crisply to get it scorching through the mid-wicket region. There is a fielder in the deep but he won't get there

Clive Rose to Finch, FOUR, thanks for coming says Finch as he muscles a gentle toss up over mid-wicket. Brute power and terrific timing, one bounce and over the ropes on the leg-side

Faulkner to Finch, FOUR, edged and four! Finch jumped on his back foot looking to steer this fine of third man but the skiddy length delivery arrived much quicker and smashed his splice before racing past the short third fielder to his left

Faulkner to Shaun Marsh, FOUR, nailed! Full and in the slot outside off for Marsh, he chips the straight drive past Faulkner and claims his third boundary

Faulkner to Shaun Marsh, FOUR, touch fuller and slanting in towards middle and off, Marsh pins the on-drive to the right of mid-on and times it beautifully for his second boundary

Clive Rose to Finch, FOUR, easy put away for Finch! Full and sliding onto the pads, Finch gets down on one knee and belts the sweep backwards of square on the leg-side

Faulkner to Shaun Marsh, FOUR, won't be a wicket maiden for Faulkner. Sprays this short and well wide of off, Marsh goes deep inside the crease and slams the cut in the air wide of the diving cover fielder

Faulkner to Sam Harper, out Caught by Caleb Jewell!! Gone for a duck is Sammy Harper. Looks to go big on the leg-side and mauls a full delivery off his pads, gets it off the thick inside half and the fielder at deep square settles under it. Sam Harper c Caleb Jewell b Faulkner 0(3)
