BBL 2021-22: Boyce's efforts go in vain as Sydney Thunder steal a win vs Renegades in nail-bitter
The encounter between Melbourne Renegades and Sydney Thunder in Melbourne turned out to be an eventful one. While Thunder stole away a win by just 1 run, Renegades’ Boyce created history after he bagged four wickets on the trot to eventually end with a fifer. The Sydney Thunder team had a brilliant start to the proceedings, courtesy an aggressive partnership between Alex Hales and Usman Khawaja. The two batters put on 80 runs on the board before Hales was undone on the final delivery of the seventh over for 44 off 22. Unmukt Chand who made his BBL debut in the previous game took a good catch around the ling off region off Boyce. The spinner then came back for his second over and bagged wickets on the first three deliveries which included the dismissals of Jason Sangha, Ross and Daniel Sams. The right-arm bowler just didn’t stop here and bagged his fifth wicket in the form of Matthew Gikes to eventually return with figures of 5/21 in 4 overs. But Khawaja held the fort for his side at the other end and chipped in with a valuable 77 off 51 that helped Thunder side to put 170/8 in 20 overs. Later, the Melbourne Renegades suffered an early blow but Aaron Finch and Shaun Marsh once again steadied the ship for the side with a 59-run stand before the latter departed for 19 off 16. Finch was then joined by Unmukt and the two compiled a total of 68 runs for the third wicket. Chand was eventually dismissed for 29 off 22 by Sangha. While Renegades lost wickets at regular intervals, Finch tried to stick around and notched up 82 off 64 but he was eventually out on the third delivery of the final over. The Renegades needed 2 off one delivery with Boyce on strike but he failed to take his side over the line as they were restricted to 169/7 in 20 overs. While Sams returned with impressive figures of 1/22 in 4 overs, Sandhu had three scalps to his name for 33 runs in his four overs and Sangha picked up a couple of wickets at the cost of 32 runs in his allotted 4 overs.
BBL 2021-22: Melbourne Renegades' Cameron Boyce picks four wickets on the trot vs Sydney Thunder
Melbourne Renegades Cameron Boyce etched his name in record books after picking up four wickets on the trot against Sydney Thunder in Melbourne on Wednesday. The spinner first removed a dangerous looking Alex Hales for 44 off 22 on the final ball of his first over after the right-handed batsman was caught by Unmukt Chand who took a good running catch around the long off region. Boyce then returned for his second over of the innings and got the wicket of Jason Sangha on the very first delivery who was stumped out for 2 off 5 and followed it with Alex Ross’ dismissal. Ross tried to reverse sweep this hat trick delivery that was pitched touch fuller around the middle and leg stump channel but missed his stroke completely. The Renegades team appealed for an LBW and the on-field umpire raised his finger. The batsman wasn’t really happy with the decision but Boyce had completed his hat trick. The right-arm bowler didn’t stop here as he also got rid of Daniel Sams after trapping him in front of the stumps to send him packing for a golden duck on the third ball of this over to pick his fourth consecutive wicket. The leg-spinner continued his brilliant bowling show with another dismissal on the first ball of his third over. Matthew Gikes who had come in at number six drove a length delivery, pitched outside off straight into the hands of Lalor in the cover region to give Boyce his fifth scalp of the match. At the time of writing, the Thunder were 101/5 in 11 overs.
