Thisara Perera to Broad, 1 run, Stuart Broad does it, not with the ball, with the willow this time. Hobart Hurricanes stay in contention and record a victory that will be etched in the history books of BBL. FOREVER. A low full toss on off and Broad just chips it over mid-off. Well he might say he's deliberately done that, but let me tell you: That was a mishit, somehow Broad's leading edge and power took it over the infield
over-break
11:54 AM
Thisara Perera to Broad, FOUR, that's a thick edge and pierces keeper and short third man to perfection. Melbourne Renegades can't believe what just happened. Finchy brings the fielers in

Thisara Perera to Broad, FOUR, length ball on middle and leg, that's a Yuvi-hit. Lovely whippy flick off the pads, superbly timed too, trickles and trickles away into the fence behind square

Thisara Perera to Broad, 2 runs, in the air and safe! Pulls and that's a miscue, no-one at the edge of the mid-wicket circle and Broad bustles back for the second
11:52 AM
Thisara Perera to Broad, 3 wides, full toss well wide of off, swings and misses. Nevill doesn't gather cleanly and Broad is off and racing down the track. As they attempt to steal another run, the keeper fires a needless throw allowing another bonus run. Overthrows as they call in cricket
11:51 AM
Thisara Perera to Boyce, out Boyce Run Out!! 1 run completed. A big whoosh outside off and he gets a thick outside edge wide of short third man, a slight fumble from Narine tempts the batsmen to sneak another run. Looks to complete the second, but Narine lines up and hits dead at the striker's end. Just smacks the base of leg-stump. Phewf! Boyce run out (Narine) 1(1)
WICKET
11:48 AM
Thisara Perera to Rainbird, 1 run, slower and Rainbird had to fetch from outside off, ends up dragging the pull into the leg-side

Key Moments

12:02 PM
Not just Broad. Docklands Stadium witnessed its best ever T20 game. Jumping into the seat to type-and-hype the second innings of this game, I expected this to be a lop-sided affair. Given how the Hurricanes bowlers were mocked with the merry willows of Renegades. Heck! Little did I know about their batting prowess. Although it was Ben McDermott and George Bailey who BIGBASHED a match-winning partnership, their tail somehow crawled and dribbled to catapult their side out of the mire. This win will take them to the top of the second half, adding more spice to the business end of the tournament.
