Steyn to Will Sutherland, out Caught by Handscomb!! Finally, gets some wood on this. However, there's a faint edge and the keeper swallows it up. The pacy short ball, Sutherland went for the pull and got undone by the extra pace and bounce. Will Sutherland c Handscomb b Steyn 16(15) [4s-1]

Steyn to Will Sutherland, out Andrews Run Out!! This is silly. Complete mix-up and Andrews pays the price. Sutherland misses this slower ball and his partner wanted to steal a bye, but Sutherland wasn't too interested and sends him back. Easy for Handscomb, who lobs the throw to Steyn and he completes the formalities. Andrews run out (Handscomb/Steyn) 3(4)

Steyn to Boyce, out Caught by Worrall!! 250th T20 scalp for Steyn. The scrambled seam slower ball and Boyce is hoodwinked completely. Made room a bit and tamely pushed at it only to offer a dolly for Worrall at point. Boyce c Worrall b Steyn 0(1)

Lamichhane to Tom Cooper, out Lbw!! That's plumb. So, Cooper doesn't last long and Maxwell can breathe easy. Lamichhane doesn't trust his fielders, takes the matter in his own hands. This was straight on target, Cooper failed to read it and gets rammed on the front pad. Would've crashed the middle and leg stump. Tom Cooper lbw b Lamichhane 3(7)

Zampa to Webster, out Bowled!! The wheels are coming off for Renegades. They've lost three wickets in no time. Zampa pushes it through quicker, Webster made room and exposed all the three stumps. It skids on and shatters the stumps. Talk about digging a grave for yourself.. Webster b Zampa 29(25) [4s-4]

Lamichhane to Christian, out Stumped!! Oh, two wickets in three balls for Stars. Christian bags a golden duck. It was the leg-break which turned away outside off and Christian is beaten. In the process, he loses his balance and lifts his back leg momentarily. Handscomb shows alertness and whips the bails off in a flash. Christian was unhappy about something and was seen having a chat with the umpire before walking off. Christian st Handscomb b Lamichhane 0(1)

Lamichhane to Shaun Marsh, out Caught by Coulter-Nile!! Wow! This is a special catch. The scorecard may show that NCN took the catch but it was Dunk, who did all the hard work. This is very akin to the one Ben Laughlin and Jake Weatherald took a couple of seasons ago. Half-tracker from Lamichhane outside off, Marsh fetches it from there and biffs it down to long-on. Dunk moves to his left and grabs the catch. Realizes that he's going over the ropes because of the momentum, so throws it to NCN, who was backing up from deep mid-wicket. Superb tag-team effort, must say. Lamichhane is chuffed and the Renegades have lost the big fish. Shaun Marsh c Coulter-Nile b Lamichhane 43(33) [4s-3 6s-1]

Coulter-Nile to Webster, 1 run, in the air and dropped. The fielder at long-on drops a sitter. Coulter-Nile dupes the batsman with a slower ball and Webster was through his heave early, ends up miscuing it terribly and fortunately for him, the fielder grasses it

Coulter-Nile to Shaun Marsh, SIX, nervy moment for Marsh. He felt that as soon as he connected that he was in trouble but just enough wood on it to take over Maxi at long-on. Length, Marsh with a cross-batted heave and slices it uppishly. Maxwell went as deep as he could but to no avail

Zampa to Finch, out Bowled!! Zampa roars back and takes his revenge. The perks of having a leggie in your team. Big blow for the red army as Finch departs. Pushed it through quicker and it skidded on. Finch went low, wanting to repeat the shot he played off the first ball. Swings his bat outside the line and hears the death rattle. Zampa is thrilled..

Lamichhane to Shaun Marsh, FOUR, Marsh is too good with the cut against spin. And here's an instance. Gets deep in his crease on seeing the wrong 'un and smears it past backward point

Coulter-Nile to Finch, no run, run-out chance missed. Dunk had all the time in the world to hit bulls-eye at the bowler's end but he fails, allowing Marsh to get back in. Back of a length and thuds Finch on the thigh pad before trickling to mid-wicket. Finch took a few steps forward and Marsh too obliged. Raced across very quickly but his skipper backed out, forcing him to take a detour back to his crease. Dunk charges forward, collects the ball and fluffs the chance

Steyn to Shaun Marsh, leg byes, FOUR, Did Worrall step his right leg onto the rope while relaying it back to the fielder? Yes, the third umpire confirms it. Shortish and on leg, brushes Marsh's thigh pad and rolls to fine leg. And Worrall with a clumsy work while mopping it up

Coulter-Nile to Sam Harper, out Caught by Worrall!! One shot too many from Harper. Boom or bust. If you keep swinging every ball, eventually you have to pay the price. Coulter-Nile sticks to his strength and peppers it short, cramping the batsman for room. It gets too big on Harper, who pulls despite getting into trouble. Splices it to the right of mid-on and Worrall takes a smart catch. Sam Harper c Worrall b Coulter-Nile 12(8) [4s-2]

Coulter-Nile to Sam Harper, FOUR, in the air and just over Maxwell at mid-off. Harper is flirting with danger at the moment. Pitched up in the slot, Harper loosens his muscles and lifts it albeit with poor timing. Fortunately, it clears the Stars' skipper and off she goes to the fence
