Commentary

17:25 PM IST|| That is all we have in this cliffhanger of a game with Hobart Hurricanes emerging as the winners. This is the pair of Samanvaya Sharma and Pradeep who will now take your leave as we bring down curtains to this contest. But folks keep following our live feed at Sportskeeda, for such more thrilling contests. See you guys soon. Have a great day!

Jacob Bethell is the Player of the Match! Here's what he had to say: Bit bitter, but felt like probably shouldn't have gone to someone from the losing team. We did well to drag it out close, made a few mistakes, it was one of them we thought we had enough but they came out on top. I've really enjoyed it, loved the city, loved the guys, it's been great, definitely looking to come back. It's always been a dream of mine to play in the Ashes, if the opportunity presents itself in a year's time, I'd like to grab them with both hands.

17:16 PM IST|| Match Summary|| Hobart Hurricanes won by 4 wickets.

Jacob Bethell 87(50) & 2/29 | Matthew Wade 36(23)
Riley Meredith 3/36 | Callum Stow 1/31

The Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Renegades clashed in a thrilling match, with the Hurricanes emerging victorious and securing their spot in the playoffs. The Renegades, who were put into bat by the Hurricanes, got off to a disastrous start.

Josh Brown and Marcus Harris, the Renegades' openers, struggled to adjust to the seam movement, with Brown being particularly uncomfortable against Billy Stanlake. Brown's struggles were compounded when he was dropped at slip in the second over, but he failed to capitalize on the reprieve, falling to Riley Meredith in the very next over.

Harris followed suit, and the Renegades were reeling at 20/2 by the end of the powerplay. The Renegades' woes continued as Fraser McGurk fell victim to a disastrous run-out, leaving them struggling at 64/3 at the 10th over a drinks break.

However, Tim Siefert and Jacob Bethell steadied the ship, crunching some good boundaries while being cautious. Bethell brought up his fifty with a crashing boundary and continued to attack, playing some classic shots for boundaries. He led the charge, thumping some long sixes all over the park.

Despite Bethell's heroics, the Renegades' innings eventually came to a close, with the team posting a total of 154. Riley Meredith was the pick of the bowlers for the Hurricanes, claiming three wickets. Bethell displayed an all-round performance tonight both with bat and bowl, but all his efforts went into vain.

In response, the Hurricanes' chase got off to a strong start, with Mitchell Owen and Caleb Jewell scoring 17 runs from the first over. Owen struck some huge strokes, but the Renegades fought back, taking regular wickets and restricting the Hurricanes' run rate.

Nikhil Chaudhary looked settled and attacking after 11 overs but was eventually caught out by Thomas Rogers. Matthew Wade punched some delightful shots, but the Renegades' bowling unit kept the Hurricanes in check.

As the game entered its final stages, the Hurricanes required 8 runs from the last over. Thomas Rogers bowled well initially, but Tim David led the Hurricanes to victory, hitting a huge six off Rogers in the third ball of the over.

The Hurricanes clinched a thrilling victory, eliminating the Renegades from playoff contention and securing their spot in the playoffs as table-toppers. The win marked a significant milestone for the Hurricanes, who became the third team to qualify for the playoffs.

19.4 Tom Stewart Rogers to Tim David, DAVID SEALS THE GAME FOR THE HURRICANES! Hobart Hurricanes climb to the top of the table with that thrilling win. Full on the stumps, David drilled it straight to mid-on and the fielder let's it through, they get the single to seal the game. Renegades crash out of this BBL season!

19.3 Tom Stewart Rogers to Tim David, SIX! BOOM! Rogers what have you done? Juicy full toss into the batter, David is not going to miss out on those, swings across and dispatches it into the stands over deep backward square-leg for a monstrous hit. SCORES ARE LEVEL!

This looks really close with naked eyes, DRS taken by the Renegades. And Tim David survives

19.2 Tom Stewart Rogers to Tim David, BIG APPEALS FOR LBW, NOT GIVEN! Might've struck David outside the line. Sutherland walks up to Rogers, takes the review. Full and straight on the off-stump, David walks across and swings at it but misses, pings on the pad.

UltraEdge confirms no bat involved. Alright, here comes the ball tracker finally, shows PITCHING OUTSIDE OFF-STUMP! Let's move on shall we?

19.2 Tom Stewart Rogers to Tim David, WIDE! Loses the line, saw the batter moving across and tried to target the full delivery on the leg-stump but sprays it down the leg-side. Arms stretched across by the umpire for a wide.

19.1 Tom Stewart Rogers to Tim David, tries the yorker, comes out as a low full toss. David was late to it, punched it to short cover and it's a dot ball to start.

Thomas Rogers will bowl this last over. 8 runs needed

Nathan Ellis tried to go for a biggie knowing that was the last ball of the over but ended up taking nothing.

18.6 Callum Stow to Nathan Ellis, on a length on the stumps, Ellis went for the big shot but miscued it down to long-on. Fielder runs in from the ropes, but it falls safely and they don't take the single.

18.5 Callum Stow to Tim David, spears full on off-stump, David slices it down to long-off for just one.

Much needed boundary for the Hurricanes, the game is slipping away slowly from the Renegade's hand now.

18.4 Callum Stow to Tim David, FOUR! POWERFUL! Loopy full toss on the leg-stump, David smacked it down the ground. Despairing dive from Fraser-McGurk who couldn't stop it and that's a much needed boundary for the Hurricanes.

18.3 Callum Stow to Nathan Ellis, uses his feet, Stow pulls the length back. Ellis quick to open the face of the blade, dabs it to backward point for one.

18.2 Callum Stow to Tim David, floated on a length on the stumps, David lunges and chipped it into the off-side for a quick single.

18.1 Callum Stow to Tim David, wrong'un to start, short and turning away wide of off-stump. David cuts it hard to deep extra-cover and they hare back for the brace.

17 required off the last 12 deliveries. Can Hobart Hurricanes win this nail bitter?
