Thunder vs Renegades, 16th Match at Sydney, BBL, Dec 30 2024 - Match Result

what an incredible effort by Sams on the fence, and that is a fitting end to a nerveless display with the ball! This is also on the shorter side. Rogers smites it towards deep mid wicket, where Sams leaps up into the air and hauls it back into play. NBA players would have been proud of that leap, that gather and then the part where he pushed it back into play, and that gives the Thunder to vital points, which also takes them two points closer to their cross-town rivals!

banged away but a little too late! Dragged down on leg stump. Rogers winds up and smokes it over the deep mid wicket fence!

slower and shorter on leg stump, and that meddles with Rogers' timing. He swings too early and cops a blow on the thigh. Lets out a grunt of frustration soon after

full on leg stump. Rogers swings hard at it but ends up dragging it towards deep backward square leg. Takes on the arm because he has to go for the second and makes it back, helped by Billings being unable to flick the ball onto the stumps

a vital boundary! A juicy full toss outside off and Rogers makes the most of it. With mid off up, all he has to do is pop it over the fielder and he does so adeptly!

fired into the blockhole on leg stump. Rogers swings at it with all his might and squirts it off the inside edge towards short fine leg

shortish on leg stump. Rogers opens up his stance and heaves it towards deep backward square leg. Just another single

slower bumper on off. Takes an eternity to arrive and Zampa tugs it towards deep square leg

full toss on leg stump. Rogers makes room and slices it down to deep third

short outside off. Zampa gets on top of the bounce and cuts it towards deep point

slower ball on a full length on middle and leg. Rogers nurdles it enough to the bowler's right and scampers across to the other end

off-pace on a back of a length just outside off. Rogers swings too early and only grabs a handful of fresh air

nicked and gone! Agar has four, and is that the game?! Full outside off. Evans' eyes light up looking at the width and he throws the plumbing at it. All he manages, though, is a healthy edge and Billings makes no mistake at all. Sydney Thunder are pumped; Evans dejected as he trudges back!

another Laurie Evans special! Slower ball that sits up to be hit just outside off. Evans reads it like the morning daily and clatters it flat over wide long on!

full toss outside off. Evans gives it the lot and drills it towards deep backward point. Has ample time to get back for two

a wild delivery. Perhaps the slower ball slipped out of his hands. Either way, it landed almost beyond the cut strip on the off side and once Evans swung and missed, it was an easy decision for the umpire

slower ball again, on a length wide outside off. Evans throws his hands at it and lifts it on the bounce to sweeper cover. Two more runs added to the Renegades' total

slower ball on a full length on leg stump. Evans clears his front leg and heaves it towards deep mid wicket for a couple of runs

cutter on a back of a length on leg stump. Rogers tickles it towards short fine leg
