Full Scorecard of Melbourne Renegades vs Perth Scorchers, BBL 14 | 10th Match
Full Scorecard Melbourne Renegades squeezed out a two-wicket win over Perth Scorchers on a much-criticized Marvel Stadium surface to end a six-match losing streak against the West Australian team.
Social media fired up over a patchy-looking outfield which looked well below its best following a university graduation ceremony last week attended by tens of thousands of people, plus several recent concerts from Pearl Jam and Coldplay, among others.
One of the game’s major features was an outstanding fielding performance from Renegades’ livewire Mackenzie Harvey. He pulled off a sensational catch at midwicket, taking a leaping backward one-handed grab to dismiss Spoors. Mackenzie also executed a direct hit run-out and saved several runs with his fielding.
