10.35pm Perth Scorchers get their sixth consecutive win against Melbourne Renegades. It all looked easy towards the end, but everything changed with the wicket of Klinger. It came down to 3 off 1, and Ashton Agar launched a six over midwicket to get the win. Aaron Finch got one ball wrong, and his team lost the game. That's all it comes down to. Great fight from Renegades, they may have lost Bravo for at least a few games too. A typical T20 game tonight, went one way, stuck with it, swung late the other way. Then swung again. The BBL chariot rolls on tomorrow. We'll be back then too. Ciao.

Aditi: "So cliched. A six off the last ball"

Finch to Agar, SIX runs

and over the leg side field. Slow full toss on middle and leg, right in the arc of Agar. Swings and cleaaars the boundary over deep midwicket. Agony for Renegades. What happened there? A crazy five minutes, but the Scorchers get the win in the end. Eventually.

3 off 1 to win. 2 gets Renegades a super over. White has a chat with Finch. Four in the deep in the leg side

Finch to Agar, 2 runs

fired in full on leg, clipped to deep midwicket. White allows the second run

Finch to Agar, 2 runs

Agar backs away, Finch follows him and Agar lofts the ball towards deep midwicket for a couple.

W
Finch to Voges, OUT

and one more. Finch is on fire. The Scorchers being doused. Flat and full on off, Voges wanted to turn that ball into the leg side, preferably for two. A leading edge goes to the left of Finch. he runs across, picks up, turns around and effects a direct hit. Whaaaaat?

Adam Voges run out (Finch) 1 (2b 0x4 0x6 8m) SR: 50

Agar comes out. 7 off 4 now. Voges on strike. Agar is left-handed, by the way.

19.2
W
Finch to Marsh, OUT

and gone! A low, slow full toss outside off. The line couldn't have been better. Marsh chooses to drag the swat from well outside off and picks out long-on. Cooper takes the catch on the boundary. A little bit more on that and it would have been six. Fine margins. A huge wicket

Mitchell Marsh c Cooper b Finch 34 (22b 4x4 0x6 40m) SR: 154.54

7 off 5.

19.1
2
Finch to Marsh, 2 runs

slowed up on middle, Marsh shimmies down and skews the ball badly to deep midwicket. Marsh scampers back for two.

Nine off the last. Bravo would normally bowl this., but he isn't on the field. Who'd have thunk that of all the Renegades' bowlers, it'd be Finch bowling. They have five inside the circle Finch realises it and sends point back.

Voges. Finch and Rimmington chat. Still a 6-3 field. No, back to 5-4 now. Square leg in place

W
Rimmington to Turner, OUT

no need to play! A wide turns into a wicket. What is happening. A slower ball that almost did not land on the strip. turner walked across and so, thought that the ball was closer to him than it actually was. He pushes at the ball and it carries to deep cover. Gone.

Ashton Turner c sub (CAH Stevenson) b Rimmington 1 (5b 0x4 0x6 7m) SR: 20

Rimmington to Turner, no run

full and wide, Turner finds cover

Long-off is straight, a deep cover in place. A 6-3 field.

Narine to Klinger, OUT

Narine gets the big one. Short delivery outside off, the ball moves away and Klinger chips his wicket away. Wanted one to deep midwicket. Threw his back in disgust almost as he made contact with the ball. A simple return catch off the leading edge

Rimmington to Klinger, SIX runs

uh oh. That's the game too. Low full toss on middle, Klinger gets inside the line and expertly shovels the ball behind square for six. Easy as ...

Soumith Potturi: "These big bash matches show how unnecessary strategic time outs are in IPL. Just go on with the game!"
