Melbourne Renegades vs Hobart Hurricanes Highlights
A start of 15 for none converted to 40 for 8 for the Renegades, all credit goes to Hurricanes Fergus O Neill and Thomas Rogers breathtaking 3-wicket haul spells.
Renegades Captain Nathan Ellis, who came in to bat at number eight position went on to hit 35 off 29 to provide his team some support to reach at least 74-run mark
Apart from Neill and Rogers, Hurricanes skipper Will Sutherland also bagged 3 scalps while giving only 14 in his 3 overs.
Chasing a 75 was not a big deal for the Hurricanes batting line-up, but the wickets of Jake Fraser McGurk (5), Josh Brown (13, Jacon Bethell (3), and Laurie Evans (7), displayed the struggle batters were facing at the middle.
However, the leading run-scorer in BBL 2024-25, Tim Seifert (37* off 19) was in a completely different mood and made the chase a cake walk with his where other batters from each team seemed in doubt to play freely.
This win not only helped Renegades to open their account in the league, but they also climb to the top of the table.
