10:35 AM IST Josh Brown is the Player of the Match for his match-winning knock. He says it was nice to get a few boundaries early, before pulling the tempo back to manage the chase. Believes that he wasn’t far away from a big score since he was doing the right things off the field. Shares that watching the final overs from the sidelines made him feel like he should have been out in the middle, and he admits that he panicked and got out, but he is relieved and happy that the team got over the line. Brown says Will Sutherland has been unbelievable to watch over the last few years and was outstanding once again on the night. Adds that this was the biggest crowd he has ever played in front of. Brown reflects on how close they came last season before Glenn Maxwell took the game away from them, and says registering his first win in a Melbourne Derby makes this one all the more special.

10:33 AM IST Marcus Stoinis will be feeling the burden of 68,000 fans who came to the MCG today and almost all of them were Melbourne Stars supporters. The Stars did brilliantly to make a comeback but lapses in the field, especially from Tom Curran and the Powerplay, cost them dearly. Mitchell Swepson was the standout bowler and the likes of Peter Siddle and Haris Rauf did well to finish off strongly but seeing Curran being patchy in the field, Stoinis decided to take the final over himself and once he got hit for a six off the very first ball, the momentum shifted completely and the Stars lost a second humdinger in a row.

10:31 AM IST The Presentation ceremony...

10:31 AM IST Earlier in the day, Will Sutherland won the toss and opted to bowl first. A decision that was backed up nicely by his bowlers. Sam Harper did come out of the blocks quickly but the Renegades managed to get wickets in a heap right after the Powerplay. Melbourne Stars were languishing at 55/4 when Glenn Maxwell fell and once Gurinder Sandhu got rid of Marcus Stoinis as well, the Renegades looked completely in control. Then came the fightback from Hilton Cartwright and Tom Curran and the Renegades let things slip a long way at the death.

10:30 AM IST The next batter is Hassan Khan, who walks in at number 5.
