11:38 AM IST The Melbourne Renegades did not have a match-winning score on the board but they kept fighting till the 15th over. Will Sutherland and Kane Richardson were the pick of the bowlers for the Renegades while the rest had an off day. Earlier today, the Renegades were asked to bat first and they posted 169/7 from their 20 overs with a fine fifty from Tim Seifert while Will Sutherland, Josh Brown, and Jake Fraser-McGurk played handy cameos. It was a decent bowling effort from all the Sixers’ bowlers who were put under pressure but responded pretty well. Joel Davies bowled a tidy spell while Sean Abbott and Ben Dwarshuis took two apiece for their side. The Renegades will look to bounce back in their next outing while the Sixers will hope to carry on their winning start.

Both batters were dismissed after getting decent starts but their skipper Moises Henriques played a match-winning knock of 53 off 27 balls to take the side home with ease.
