Match Summary-
Melbourne Renegades win by 4 wickets.
Andre Russell 57 (42) | Tom Rogers 4/23 (4.0) Jimmy Peirson 45 (30) | Michael Neser 4/32 (4.0)
Finch stays on till the end of a chase again, just 31 runs off 43 balls but he played well as he was playing the anchor's innings while Russell was hitting it all around the park.
Neser started off with a bang with 4 wickets in his first 2 overs, and a hat-trick in that. They were on top of the game until Russell hit a long six and they had to change the ball after that.
Russell and Hosein powered the Renegades for their third win in a row, and they win 3 in a row that after over 1400 days in BBL. Russell and Finch rescued them from 9/4 and got a 81 run partnership in.
With that partnership the chase was going to be easy as the Heat did not have much on the board. Hosein played a brilliant 30 run cameo in the end as Finch was struggling to score the runs after Russell's wicket.
Hosein got out in the end but Sutherland came in and hit a 103m game to make sure they got over the finish line. And with just 3 runs needed off the last over, Finch hit a four to seal the victory.
None of the bowlers except Steketee helped Neser in the fight. Neser took 4 wickets while Steketee took 2.

18.6 Michael Steketee to Will Sutherland, SIX! INTO THE NIGHT SKY! Right in the slot on middle and leg, Sutherland clears his front leg and slogs this one way over the deep square leg fence for a MAXIMUM! Sutherland's confidence needs to be lauded. He came in at such a crucial juncture and did not bat an eyelid when asked to smack a six first ball! Just three runs needed now.
Will Sutherland, RHB, comes to the crease.
Is that another twist in the game? They need 9 runs with 7 balls to go with a new batsman on crease.
18.5 Michael Steketee to Akeal Hosein, OUT! IS THERE A TWIST TO THIS TALE NOW? At a length on middle and leg, Hosein tries to swing away but mistimes the ball and only manages to find the fielder at deep midwicket, Sam Billings, who comes forward and rolls into the ground after diving to take the catch! Hosein has to depart.
