Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Renegades 26th Match Scorecard | BBL 14
Full Scorecard: Skipper Will Sutherland dismissed Mitchell Marsh for a golden duck before producing a brilliant knock under pressure alongside Tom Rogers to lift Melbourne Renegades over Perth Scorchers in a nerve-jangling match at Optus Stadium.
Chasing 148, the Renegades were in disarray at 10 for 4 before Sutherland came to his side’s rescue with 70 off 45 balls. He combined with Rogers in a remarkable 92-run partnership to inch ‘Gades closer to victory.
But Sutherland fell with 12 runs needed and seven balls left to set up a grandstand finish. After the first ball of the final over by quick Matt Kelly was caught off a waist-high no ball, Rogers clubbed a six off the second ball and he sealed Renegades’ stunning win with a boundary off the fourth ball. He finished 49 not out of 31 balls.
It was a see-saw match that started with Scorchers struggling at 114 for 8 before Ashton Agar, battling the fiu and a red-hot Renegades attack, provided a late flurry with an unbeaten 51 from 30 balls.
It was an important win for Renegades, who join Scorchers with 3-4 records. But the win came at a cost with batter Jonathan Wells suffering a hamstring injury while fielding.
