Skipper's Dream Finish Gives Renegades BBL Derby Glory
Will Sutherland ended the match with two sixes in the final over to secure a four-wicket win for the Renegades in front of 68,124 fans, the third-highest BBL attendance.
- On Sunday night at the MCG, Will Sutherland struck two sixes off Marcus Stoinis to seal a four-wicket Melbourne derby win, finishing 19 not out as the Renegades reached 6-177 with one ball to spare.
- Facing a late collapse that cost five wickets for 4 runs, the Renegades required 13 off the final six balls, with Sutherland hitting two sixes to seal the win.
- Spin and seam strikes steadily reduced the Stars' top order as Renegades seamer Gurinder Sandhu and Haris Rauf delivered crucial wickets to keep the contest tight.
- The win halted the Melbourne Renegades' three-match slide and was their second victory, while Will Sutherland said `It was a bit of a dream come true as a Melbourne boy`.
- Given Melbourne derby attendances historically top the competition, Glenn Maxwell's quiet start this year leaves the Stars less potent despite his lingering danger.
