Aaron Finch (Player of the Match): "It was good fun. We took it too close and deep and got lucky. The idea was to hit one six and we got a full toss and then along the ground to win it for us. I played the ball to the merit and then did my job. It's all about executing the deliveries and doing your best. I love this venue and I guess this venue can be used for international games. I am happy to contribute. Don't worry about your own game and helping the youngsters do well in this format. I am enjoying myself and I love playing here."
Aaron Finch has been awarded the Player of the Match.
5:10 PM IST | In what was a cliffhanger of a game here at Docklands Stadium, Melbourne Renegades have defeated Sydney Thunder by 4 wickets (1 ball left) and have conquered two games in a row. The Sydney Thunder, on the other hand, would be once again disheartened.
Earlier in the day, the South African southpaw Rossouw went on to register his half-century before immediately throwing his wicket away to Kane Richardson. Nonetheless, his pyrotechnic innings of 53(38), including 3 fours and 4 maximums laid the foundation for Thunder's lower-middle order. Alex Ross registered a much-needed 39 (23) and he was accompanied by Oliver Davies 33(18) to post a hefty total of 174/6.
In pursuit of 175, Gurinder Sandhu cushioned an early breakthrough for Thunder as Sam Harper 0(3) departed in the third delivery of the innings. However, that was only calm before the storm as captain Nic Maddinson, alongside Jake Fraser McGurk went all guns blazing by aggregating 40 runs till the end of the powerplay.
When the left-right duo was turning the tide in favor of the Renegades, Daniel Sams got the breakthrough for Thunder as Fraser McGurk departed for 24(18). Aaron Finch, the next batter in, then joined forces with Maddinson and stitched a partnership of 49 runs before southpaw Maddinson perished for 39(28), including 2 fours and 3 maximums.
After the wicket of Andre Russell 7(7), one may have anticipated the game is done and dusted for the Renegades, but former captain Aaron Finch had other arrangements. The right-handed batter brought resurgence to the Renegades dug-out by chalking up 70(43), including 7 fours and 2 maximums under pressure, and got his team off the line.
