Tanveer Sangha was the wrecker in chief. He took four wickets in 3.2 overs of his spell while conceding just 14 runs.

Nathan McAndrew smashed three sixes in the last over to get the score past 200 after a brief collapse in the late overs triggered by Kane Richardson. 

Brief Score:

Sydney Thunder - 209/8 (Oliver Davies - 48; Kane Richardson - 2/33)

Melbourne Renegades - 80/10 in 12.2 overs (Aaron Finch - 20; Tanveer Sangha - 4/14)
