After electing to bat first, the Scorchers posted 157 on the board, losing six wickets. The wickets were spread among the bowlers, with Cameron Gannon finishing with two.

The Heat didn’t have the best of starts to the chase as they lost two wickets inside the powerplay. Sam Heazlett coming in at four scored 34 but his wicket led to a collapse.

Xavier Bartlett, lower down the order, tried his level best by remaining unbeaten on 34 but couldn’t help his side get across the line as they were bundled out for 151, six short of the target.

The Melbourne Renegades, meanwhile, got off to a winning start as they defeated the Adelaide Strikers in their opening game. They failed to carry forward the winning momentum as they lost to the same opposition in their next fixture.

Batting first, the Strikers batters couldn’t get going as they were knocked over for 149. Skipper Kane Richardson starred with the ball, picking up four wickets. He was well-supported by Reece Topley, who picked up three wickets.

The Renegades faltered in the chase. It was a disappointing performance from the batters as they failed to adapt to the conditions. Sam Harper at the top of the order scored 33 but none of the other batters contributed as they were bundled out for 100, losing the game by 49 runs.

Both sides have lost their respective last games and will look to gain some momentum going forward in the competition. They are expected to come out all guns blazing on Monday.
