BBL 2016/17: 5 best moments from the Melbourne Renegades vs Perth Scorchers last ball thriller

#1 The wobble, Finch’s double strike and the anti-climax - Agar’s last ball steal

Ashton Agar celebrates after stealing victory with a last-ball six

With Narine and Hogg pegging back the Scorchers’ run rate in the middle overs, a seemingly easy chase had come down to 19 required off the last 3 overs – a scenario which could go either way with one good over for either team.

However, with well-set Klinger and Mitchell Marsh at the crease, the Scorchers would have been expected to sail through, unless they wobbled under pressure. But that’s exactly how it panned out.

Klinger was the first to depart, giving a return catch to Narine. Turner followed, chasing a very wide delivery from Rimmington. With Bravo off the field, the captain Finch decided to take the responsibility upon himself. The equation read – 9 required off 6 balls.

Marsh scampered through for two runs off the first ball. 7 required off 5 balls. Marsh dragged a rank, low full toss from Finch that should have been dispatched to the stands for a six into the hands of the long-on fielder.

The next ball, Adam Voges edged the ball towards Finch while trying to flick it to the leg side for a couple, only to find himself run out by a fair distance by a direct hit from Finch. Finch ran, picked up the ball and threw directly even as Voges watched in disbelief.

Incoming batsman Ashton Agar picked the next two balls from Finch for a couple of runs each through the deep mid-wicket region. With 3 required off the last ball and whispers of a Super Over growing loud, Finch delivered a full toss again but this time, Agar swung the ball straight over the same deep mid-wicket region and broke into celebrations.
