In that match, batsman Josh Phillipe again wreaked havoc, contributing 55 runs to the team's total of 149 after 20 overs.
Apart from Phillipe, this was the only batter that could help the team get off to a good start. The bowlers, on the other hand, were in excellent form. The carnage of Ben Dwarshuis wreaked havoc on the Renegades' batters as the 28-year-old picked up four wickets and conceded just 17 runs in his four overs.
On the other hand, Sean Abbott and Hayden Kerr picked up two wickets each.
Something went wrong for the Nic Maddison-led side on the night. Aaron Finch and Shaun Marsh tried to get a grip on the situation, but shortly after they were bowled out, the team collapsed and were bowled out for 115 runs. Even though Mujeeb picked up three wickets, the team's overall performance was below average.
Pitch report
