That brings us to the end of a riveting showdown. Our live coverage ends here, but there is plenty of action around the corner, and you simply wouldn't wanna miss out. We will be back again tomorrow for another thrilling BBL fixture between Sydney Thunder and Perth Scorchers. For now, this is Datrim Ray and Bidipto Datta signing off on behalf of Sportskeeda. Take care, and see you again shortly!
Nathan Ellis (Hobart Hurricanes captain, Player of the Match, 3/30 off 4 overs): "I think Matthew Wade deserves this award, but, I'll take him and buy him dinner! The decision to leave him home for the match in Perth worked, and this time, we were good enough to hold our nerves and get the job done. Our spinners are doing incredibly well! Both Rishad Hossain and Rehan Ahmed have gone about their job quietly. We've got the Scorchers here in a couple of days, so, let's see how things go."
Hobart Hurricanes won by 4 wickets.
Matthew Wade - 43 (20) | Nathan Ellis - 3/30
Ollie Peake - 29 (22) | Adam Zampa - 3/25
WADE HITS THE WINNING RUNS AND IT'S ALL OVER! Brilliant win for the Hurricanes tonight! The Renegades had simply no answer to his onslaught. Nevertheless, they started off well with the ball. It was a tidy start from the Renegades' quicks. Gurinder Sandhu and Jason Behrendorff hit their straps right and used the new ball to good effect. Andrew Tye joined the party and drew first blood right after the powerplay to dent the Hurricanes. Mitchell Owen looked completely out of sorts and was removed cheaply for only 10. Tye continued his stellar form with the ball and troubled the Hurricanes' batters with his wide range of change-up deliveries.
Tim Ward (30 off 26) got off to a decent start but struggled to switch through the gears. Zampa went on a roll close to the halfway stage and removed Ward and McDermott in quick succession to throw the game wide open for the Renegades. But the Power Surge was taken just at the nick of time, and the Hurricanes cashed in well despite losing Webster against the run of play.
But the fall of wickets regularly hurt their momentum. Adam Zampa was in menacing form with the ball and finished his spell with 3 wickets to keep the Renegades alive in the game. However, the Hurricanes did breathe a sigh of relief once he was done with his quota. Rehan Ahmed (23 off 14) notched up some dazzling fireworks and reversed all the hard work that was done by Zampa in the earlier overs. The Hurricanes were thankfully able to find some big overs towards the end. Matthew Wade (43 off 20) showed all his experience and landed some massive blows towards the end to help the Hurricanes crawl to their target with 6 balls to spare.
What a fighting contest that way! We will have the post-match presentation updates for you shortly. Stay with us!

18.6 Gurinder Sandhu to Matthew Wade, FOUR RUNS! HOBART HURRICANES WIN THEIR FOURTH GAME THIS SEASON! Pitched up around off-stump. Wade gets on to the front foot and slams it to the left of mid-off to pick up the match-winning boundary!
18.5 Gurinder Sandhu to Matthew Wade, SIX MORE! Short and slightly slow over middle-and-off. Wade waited for it, pivoted on the backfoot and hooked it away over long-leg!
18.4 Gurinder Sandhu to Chris Jordan, full and slow around off-stump. Dragged around to long-on from the crease, for a single again.
18.3 Gurinder Sandhu to Matthew Wade, full and wide outside off-stump. Stroked away off the front foot to cover for a quick single!
18.2 Gurinder Sandhu to Matthew Wade, into the pitch and slow outside off-stump. The attempted pull shot off the back foot gets inside-edged on to body! No run.
18.1 Gurinder Sandhu to Matthew Wade, SIX RUNS! Full and wide outside off from over the wicket. Wade throws the bat at it through the line and gets enough on it, off the front foot, over deep cover!
That blow from Matthew Wade certainly helps, and he will be on strike again. Can he land a few more lusty blows like that? Here comes Sandhu for the penultimate over.

17.6 Andrew Tye to Matthew Wade, low full toss on off-stump. Wade slices it off the front foot to the right of deep cover for a single to retain strike.
17.5 Andrew Tye to Matthew Wade, SIX RUNS! Into the pitch and slow around off-stump. Crunched on the up, off the back foot, over the right of deep mid-wicket, for a maximum!
17.4 Andrew Tye to Matthew Wade, short and wide outside off. Wade steps out and tries to carve it over backward point, but fails to make contact. Dot ball. Oh, we have a review for caught behind! UltraEdge comes in and shows no contact between bat and ball.
17.3 Andrew Tye to Chris Jordan, hard length on off-stump. Jordan swivel-pulls off the back foot to deep mid-wicket for a single again.
17.2 Andrew Tye to Matthew Wade, over the wicket, back of a length and slow around off. Patted down to the deep third man area, off the back foot, for a single.
17.1 Andrew Tye to Chris Jordan, good length and slow on the pads. The clip to square-leg off the legs gets missed. But there is a slight inside edge on to pad for a quick single on the ricochet to backward point!
That was a timely breakthrough for the Renegades. Rehan Ahmed's departure has just put the brakes on the scoring rate. Tye [3-0-19-1] in for his final over now.
