The Renegades earlier overcame a gradual begin to compile 4 for 147 as Jordan Cox led the restoration. The Gades crawled to solely 56 runs from their opening 12 overs, earlier than Cox kickstarted their innings with an enormous six in the course of the energy surge.

Cox was the primary aggressor in a crucial 66-run stand with Jonathan Wells for the fourth wicket, till lofting a faster ball from Riley Meredith (1 for 34) to Chris Jordan at mid-on.

The Hurricanes had the hosts on the ropes from the opening over after Tim David dismissed Shaun Marsh caught behind for a duck to finish a wicket maiden. Left-arm spinner Patrick Dooley (0 for 16) was one other key to proscribing the Renegades’ high order, delivering 15 dot balls in 4 tight overs.
