PS vs MR

7:48 PM local time (5:18 PM IST): The BBL just keeps delivering! Another last-ball finish in two days! We will be back with more action from this wonderful T20 league tomorrow, when Melbourne Stars host Sydney Sixers at the MCG. The first ball is to be bowled at 7:15 PM local time (1:45 PM IST). For now, this is the pair of Datrim and Bidipto taking your leave. Keep following Sportskeeda! 

Player of the Match [Ollie Peake from Melbourne Renegades, 30 off 24]: "Oh yeah, well, I was lucky. Sammy (Sutherland) was out there in the middle, and we were able to get a partnership going. I was struggling; the pitch was two-paced, and the ramp was the only shot that was effective. It was good and I'm lucky that it paid off. Ohh, I'm not sure; when Sutherland got the win, I probably felt I should have been there till the end. So I realized that I had to take the game deep. Always need some luck on your side, and tonight I was lucky to have it. (His perspective on the controversial catch) Umm... (Blanks out for a bit) there isn't much for me to talk about. It's for the umps to decide. From the looks of it, it did look like the ball made contact with the ground when Turner was in possession of the ball. As per the rules, that can't be given out."

7:30 PM local time (5:00 PM IST): Melbourne Renegades win by 4 wickets! 

Ollie Peake 42* (30) | Gurinder Sandhu - 4/28 (4)
Aaron Hardie 44* (40) | Cooper Connolly - 1/20 (4)

It's never over till it's over against Perth Scorchers at the Perth Stadium, and the latest team to find that out is Melbourne Renegades! A target under 130 runs is never easy to defend, but the home side made things happen for them two nights in a row, almost! 

However, even if all 40 overs were bowled and even if the game went right down to the wire, it was the Renegades who managed to get over the line! But how? With a six off the last ball, that's how! 

19-year-old Ollie Peake, who impressed one and all with his batting at the MCG on Sunday, was the one to do it, very much single-handedly for his team! There were 4 runs required for victory off the last ball, he moved over, brought out the big shot over short fine-leg and cleared the fence! 

Under immense pressure and a crowd completely against him, Peake played the smartest shot possible to win it for the team in red, well and truly in the hunt for a place in the Finals! 

Melbourne Renegades began okay, but kept losing wickets at the wrong time. When there was no need to panic, they pressed the panic button and shook under pressure. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th wickets fell in the space of 18 runs! And not that they happened quickly. It happened over 5 overs! 

Eventually, it was a resurrecting partnership of 44 runs between skipper Will Sutherland and young Peake, which kind of steadied the Renegades ship. There were quite a few iffy moments in there, including a catch by Ashton Turner that wasn't, as the replays found out in the end, but the duo managed to bring the away side back in the contest. 

However, Peake needed Sam Elliott to stand up and support him towards the end, which the right-hander, on Renegades debut, did. What did not help the team in red was a dot ball in the penultimate delivery of the match! 

But when needed the most, Peake was able to hold his nerve and execute the most perfect shot to hand the Renegades 6 points after 7 matches! 

As for the Scorchers, the loss of Joel Paris to a groin injury after his 2nd over, didn't help. And of course, that catch Turner dropped, due to not being able to complete the catch with fingers under the ball, was a big moment, as the batter in question was none other than Peake! 

Otherwise, the Scorchers were superb! To make a match out of only 127 runs, is not everyone's cup of tea, anywhere! But, they stay on 8 points from 7 games in the 2nd position.

19.6 Aaron Hardie to Ollie Peake, SIX! Ohh boy! That's an absolute screamer! The youngster has done it! The crowd can't believe it, but the Scorchers have been defeated at home!  Length ball outside off. Peake gets across his stumps and scoops it all the way over fine leg for a six. Absolutely incredible stuff! The youngster has made it look ridiculously easy!

19.5 Aaron Hardie to Ollie Peake, Back of a length ball on middle. Peake looks to slap it down the ground but miscues his pull straight to Hardie. Dot ball! Pressure on the Renegades!

19.4 Aaron Hardie to Ollie Peake, Slower ball outside off. Peake heaves it away on the leg side but does not get hold of it. The ball lands safely and Peake rushes back to complete 2 runs.

Finn Allen was aware of what was going on! He threw at the right end and challenged Peake. Anyway, Peake was just home! The Renegades need 8 runs off 5 balls. 

19.1 Aaron Hardie to Ollie Peake,  Is that a run out? Peake could be in trouble here! Back of a length ball outside off. Peake hammers it down the ground and starts running. He returns for the second run, but Evans gets around in time to break the stumps. Replay concludes that Peake had just made his ground! The Renegades breathe!

Aaron Hardie [2.0-0-14-0] comes back into the attack.

Alright, 10 runs to win off the final over for the Renegades. It was 13 required last night in Adelaide and the Thunder could not get it done. Can Peake help the men in red do it?
