Man of the Match

That is all from this game. Hobart Hurricanes have won but they still stay in 7th spot. Wednesday sees The Adelaide Strikers take on the Melbourne Stars, at the Adelaide Oval from 6.40 pm local (0810 GMT). Should be a good one. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
MACLISTER WRIGHT HAS BEEN NAMED THE MAN OF THE MATCH. He says that it was a great game to be a part off. On the catch he took to get rid of Nabi, Wright says that he is very relieved to have taken it as he lost it in the lights. Feels great to be playing with this team, though he admits that things have not quite gone their way. On his own knock. Wright says that the idea was to just bat through the innings and considers himself lucky to bat through.
Earlier in the evening, Hobart powered themselves to 190 after a see-saw type of innings. First, Matthew Wade started like a runaway train but then after his dismissal, the Hurricanes got a roadblock. Eventually, it was the McDermott cameo which just about helped them.
Well, whom to praise here? Matthew Wade? For bringing on Clive Rose in the 19th over? Or do you think did Wade get away with his folly? Wouldn't it have been better if Qais Ahmad had been saved for the death? Too many questions and when Nabi hammered 12 off the first 3 balls, it seemed like the match will end in the 19th over itself. But Rose stuck to his job and removed the President and that turned the tide. And of course, the final over was brilliant from Ellis. Full marks to Qais Ahmad for bowling a fantastic spell first up but we still believe Wade should have kept an over of his for the death.
Mohammad Nabi - possibly 4 runs away from winning the Man Of The Match award. His 63 from 30 injected momentum into the run chase and that assault over Nathan Ellis made it looks like the 'Gades are in it. But sadly, for all his efforts, his team let him down.
Right. So what won the game for the Hurricanes? A couple of full tosses. First, the President was dismissed. And then, the vice President. Well, Webster is not actually the vice President but given that he and Nabi got dismissed in the span of 5 balls, totally hurt the Renegades. Chasing 191, they seemed to be on track when Marsh, Nabi and Webster were batting - but some harakiri towards the end just helped them snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
What a game. The Hurricanes are all over Nathan Ellis. He went for 20 runs in the 18th over but the captain stuck with him to defend 10 in the 20th. Of course, he did not have any other option. But Ellis did not disappoint.

OUT! CAUGHT! Two full tosses, two wickets! Wow. Is the game turning? This is on middle and Webster swings it high into the night sky on the leg side. Deep square leg gets into position and Thomas Rogers takes a decent catch. The batsman looks at the square leg umpire, expecting a no ball for height and the umpires get together. They check for the overstepping and the waist-high no ball. Both counts seem to be fine. 9 needed from 4 balls. But two new men in the middle.

SAFE AS A HOUSE. Yorker outside off, Webster digs it out to long off. The batsmen charge in for the second and there is a direct hit at the bowler's end. It is referred upstairs but replays show that the skipper is well in.

OUT! CAUGHT! Is there still a twist left in the tale? The President is gone. Does that mean the game is gone too? At least Hobart would love to believe it. A full toss, around middle, Nabi swings hard but the ball dips onto him. It goes off the inner half of the bat towards deep mid-wicket where Macalister Wright comes charging in and takes a good running catch to his left! Fine knock by Nabi. Got the Renegades back into the contest. 12 needed from 8 balls now.

We are back for the chase. The players are out in the middle. Marcus Harris and Shaun Marsh will open the batting for Melbourne Renegades. Qais Ahmad will start the proceedings for Hobart Hurricanes.
It is a massive score for Melbourne Renegades to chase. Can they chase this record total or will the Hobart bowlers defend it? Stay tuned for the chase.
On the other hand, Renegades' bowlers did not keep it tight and were wayward with their bowling. They have leaked too many runs in the last 5 overs. Only Cameron Boyce and Mohammad Nabi were economical. Wildermuth was the most expensive bowler for Melbourne Renegades.
It has been an excellent display of batting from Hobart Hurricanes. The opening partnership was excellent between Matthew Wade and Macalister Wright. Wright stayed till the end and that helped Hobart to a massive score. 60 runs came from the last 5 overs.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! That is a sharp catch and another big wicket falls. Miller, who was excellent in the previous game, departs cheaply. Short and around off, Miller looks to cut but gets a thick outside edge. Nicely taken by the keeper.

The players are out in the middle amidst bright sunshine. There was heavy rain yesterday but Tuesday is bright and sunny. The Renegades spread out while the Hobart openers stride out behind them - Matthew Wade and Macalister Wright. Mohammad Nabi to start off proceedings to Wade. Here we go...
Melbourne Renegades (UNCHANGED Playing XI) - Shaun Marsh, Marcus Harris, Sam Harper(WK), Beau Webster, Will Sutherland, Daniel Christian(c), Mohammad Nabi, Samit Patel, Jack Wildermuth, Cameron Boyce and Andrew Fekete.
Hobart Hurricanes (Playing XI) - Matthew Wade(C), Macalister Wright (IN FOR CALEB JEWELL), Jake Doran, David Miller, Ben McDermott(WK), George Bailey, Clive Rose, Thomas Rogers, Nathan Ellis, Qais Ahmad and Scott Boland.
BAT FLIP - The flip of the bat has gone Daniel Christian's way and MELBOURNE RENEGADES HAVE ELECTED TO CHASE.
It is match number 47 of the Big Bash League and the Melbourne Renegades take on the Hobart Hurricanes at the Docklands Stadium in Melbourne. The Reds cannot qualify but they can certainly make things difficult for the Purples and the other teams by winning a few games. Can they get their second win a row tonight?
