The Sydney Thunder chasing a 171-run target for victory in Monday evening’s Big Bash League match against the Melbourne Renegades at Sydney Showground.
After the Thunder won the toss and chose to bowl first in overcast conditions, fast bowlers Wes Agar and David Willey helped restrict the Renegades to 8-170, with all-rounder Hassan Khan hitting a 31-ball 46.

The visitors were seemingly on track for a mammoth total after openers Josh Brown and Tim Seifert combined for a rapid 62-run opening partnership, but Agar shifted momentum back in the Thunder’s favour with two scalps before the drinks break.
The dismissal of young gun Jake Fraser-McGurk, caught by a diving Sam Billings with the gloves, prompted a brief collapse of 3-7 from 11 deliveries, with England import David Willey striking twice in the 11th over.

Pakistani duo Mohammad Rizwan and Khan rebuilt the innings with a 64-run stand for the fifth wicket before the former was retired out for 26, bringing captain Will Sutherland to the middle. However, the gamble backfired when Sutherland was run-out at the non-striker’s end for 1, with Thunder seamer Ryan Hadley snaring two wickets in the final over.
Elsewhere, Thunder captain David Warner was ruled out of the match due to a knee injury he sustained last week, with Billings leading the team in his absence.
