11:47 AM IST The Presentation ceremony...

11:47 AM IST Marcus Stoinis opted to field and his troops answered right away with a couple of early wickets and they managed to keep the runs in check for the first half of the innings as well. But then, the runs came pouring in and the Stars failed to pick up many wickets before the death overs. It was a good wicket to bat on but the home side had their top-order woes as well. Ben Duckett though simply kept his head down and played his shots and once Marcus Stoinis joined the party, it seemed like the pair would finish things off in a hurry. Duckett and Stoinis both fell in the Power Surge, leaving the onus on Glenn Maxwell and he didn't disappoint after which Hilton Cartwright hit a mammoth 121-meter six in the final over and finished things off in style to round off the highest-ever chase in a Melbourne Derby.

11:43 AM IST After being inserted into bat, the Renegades huffed and puffed in the first half of their innings and were 63/3 at the end of the 10th over. It was then a stand between Jonathan Wells and Jacob Bethell worth 71 runs that eventually took them close to the 170 mark. With the ball, it was Gurinder Sandhu who on his return to Big Bash cricket led the charge for the Renegades and had the opposition reeling at 2 for 3. However, there wasn't much support from the other end and they were belted away in the middle overs before sparking a late comeback. The Surge too went in their favor but the firepower of the opposition's batting order was just too much.
