Melbourne Renegades vs Adelaide Strikers 20th Match Scorecard | BBL 14
Full Scorecard: Chris Lynn blasted the ball all over the ground to start the innings. When Lynn was dropped behind the stumps by Seifert, the Renegades squandered two excellent opportunities. The second one came two balls later when they failed to take the review of an LBW opportunity.
Before Rogers dismissed him with a slower delivery, D’Arcy Short produced an effective innings and supported Lynn well. Lynn, who blasted 88 runs off 51 balls, was on his way to reaching his sixth T20 century when Zampa dismissed him at extra cover.
The Renegades may have wasted the opportunity to deploy their spinners sooner on a sluggish surface since both opportunities went down the line of their spinner. Even though Zampa took two wickets, Rogers took two, and Bethell eventually took one, it was too late for the game’s circumstances.
Later in the game, Seifert missed another opportunity, this one to his right side off the outside edge of Ollie Pope, although it was a tough one. Despite some late drama and a string of wicket losses, the Strikers ultimately prevailed in the match.
