SCORECARD

The Sydney Sixers had a comfortable win over the Melbourne Renegades thanks to impressive showings by Jackson Bird and Ben Dwarshius. The Renegades were unable to compete with the Sixers and fell behind early in their innings, in the run chase, when they lost an early wicket and captain Aaron Finch struggled to find his rhythm at the crease. Despite their efforts, the Renegades were unable to make a successful run chase and ended up losing to the Sixers by 34 runs.
