With Finch’s dismissal, the run rate dipped. His opening partner Marcus Harris departed soon after, trying to sweep Ashton Turner over the deep mid-wicket fence. With further hiccups to be avoided, Aussie internationals Cameron White and Callum Ferguson joined hands to rebuild the innings and stitched together a crucial 50-run stand for the 3^rd wicket.

White top-scored for the Renegades with a 29-ball 37. The pair were separated when an attempted slog-sweep from White landed safely in the hands of David Willey at deep mid-wicket. After hitting back-to-back boundaries, Ferguson too departed in the next over, falling to a slower delivery from Mitchell Marsh.
