APPEAL! Hayden Kerr to Gurinder Sandhu. Full toss, to leg on the front foot flick, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on for 2 runs, fielded by Dwarshuis, by Philippe, appeal made for Run Out.  Sydney Sixers have kept the Renegades to a par score after opting to bowl first. The innings had an early wobble with two quick wickets in the powerplay, but Josh Brown counterattacked brilliantly, finding the boundary at will before failing to convert his start. Jake Fraser-McGurk also looked threatening for a while, only to throw his wicket away during the power surge. The Sixers bowlers tightened the screws through the middle overs, but Hassan Khan provided late impetus with a handy knock at the death to lift his side to a competitive total. Can the Renegades finally snap their losing streak against the Sixers? Stay tuned for the chase.
