That's it from this low scoring encounter, switch tabs to follow the World Cup action between Pakistan and Bangladesh which is a qualifier in this group now as South Africa lost today. This is the duo of Divyansh and Bidipto signing off. Goodbye!
Sophie Molineux, Player of the Match: I think our bowlers set it up beautifully, Ella with the ball, Shabnim Ismail too, we were good in the bowling department. I am blessed actually to have the group of players that we have. We knew that something was going to come our way for sure, now, with quick turnarounds, we need to focus on the next game and look for the win.
Sophie Molineux leading from the front and staying on till the end to make sure that they crossed the line, and comfortably in the end with 12 balls to spare. She stayed not out at 57 and hit a flurry of boundaries in the end to complete the chase.
The Renegades were off to a poor start with 3 down for just 30 runs in the 5th over. After that Webb and Molineux got a 52 run partnership which was enough to keep them ahead of the game.
Thunders got a good start and bowled well but just one partnership took the game away from them. Darlington took 2 wickets. Vakarewa, Smith and Bates with a wicket each. Vakarewa bowled really well but gave away 3 boundaries in her last over as Molineux finished the chase off in the 18th.
