Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Renegades, T20, 43rd Match, January 28, 2019 - Match Info

That's a wrap to tonight's BBL action. A damp squib in the end with the Scorchers just not turning up. It's been the story of their season to be honest. The Renegades continue their upward leap. They're getting formidable with every game. We have a double header tomorrow with the Hurricanes hosting the Heat followed by the Sixers hosting the Strikers. Looks like a lot of fun is in store. Until next time, it's goodbye from us.

21:09 Local Time: The Scorchers wouldn't want to remember this game. Definitely not the second half of this one. The target of 158 looked under par at the break, considering the chasing streak at this venue this year but Tremain's red hot new ball spell coupled with Richardson's probing stuff rocked the hosts early and they never really recovered from that. Wickets kept falling clumps, Christian picking three in an over to almost put the Scorchers towards the lowest ever BBL total. That was averted somehow but not the humiliation of a crushing defeat. A clinical, ruthless performance from the Renegades who are peaking at the right time. They've jumped to second spot with this mammoth win.

15.6 Boyce to Usman Qadir, out Bowled!! Renegades complete an absolute hammering! A googly to cap things off, Qadir went for the slog across the line, missed it and the ball just about clipped the bails. That's the end of that. Usman Qadir b Boyce 5(9)

Boyce to Usman Qadir, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

15.5 Boyce to Usman Qadir, no run, fuller and on off, Qadir gets a leading edge on the flick

15.4 Boyce to Usman Qadir, 2 runs, underedge sneaks through the keeper's legs! Was a floated googly and Qadir went hard on the drive. Manages a streaky brace

15.3 Boyce to Usman Qadir, no run, loopy googly, spins across Qadir who tries a big slog sweep but in vain

15.2 Boyce to Usman Qadir, 2 runs, premeditated lap sweep from Qadir and gets it down towards fine leg

15.1 Boyce to Usman Qadir, no run, tossed up around off, Qadir presses forward and blocks it out

14.6 Gurney to Kelly, 2 runs, miscue but it's landed safe at wide long-on. Was the slower ball and Kelly perhaps pulled the trigger a tad early on the slog. Gets a brace eventually

14.5 Gurney to Kelly, FOUR, that's a fine shot! Overpitched and Kelly makes room to drill the drive through extra cover. In the gap and there's no stopping this one

14.4 Gurney to Usman Qadir, 1 run, slower ball wider outside off, pushed gently into the gap at deep point

14.3 Gurney to Usman Qadir, no run, dug in short and Qadir doesn't connect the slash

14.2 Gurney to Usman Qadir, no run, shortish and wider outside off, Qadir chases it but can't connect

14.1 Gurney to Kelly, 1 run, slower and fuller on middle and leg, worked away to mid-wicket

13.6 Christian to Behrendorff, out Caught by Sam Harper!! Fourth of the night for Christian! All too easy for the T20 veteran. Hits the hard length and Behrendorff was making room for the cut. Too close for the stroke and only manages a nick that's pouched by Harper. Behrendorff c Sam Harper b Christian 3(5)

Christian to Behrendorff, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
