With just below 150 to defend, any team would love to have someone who could dry up runs and build pressure on the batsmen. Renegades had not one, but two.

Two of the best spinners in the T20 format, Sunil Narine and Brad Hogg, ply their trade together for the Melbourne Renegades. Though Hogg was not among the wickets, Narine broke through with the crucial wicket of Shaun Marsh off just the second ball of his spell. Bowling in tandem through the middle overs, the duo also kept runs at check, the run rate even dipping below 6.5 on occasions when they bowled in tandem.
