Melbourne Renegades kept their nerve in Hobart to beat the Hurricanes by four wickets in the Women's Big Bash League.
Melbourne Renegades took a hard-earned win in Hobart, beating the Hobart Hurricanes by four wickets in the Women's Big Bash League. Winning by wickets means the Renegades were the side batting second, and they got over the line with wickets still in hand.
That is the kind of result that matters in a competition as tight as the WBBL. A chase completed with batters to spare shows composure under pressure, and it hands the Renegades a valuable boost in the race for the business end of the season.
For the Hurricanes, it is a frustrating night on home turf. Playing in front of their own fans, they could not defend their total, and they will want to tighten up in the field and with the ball before their next outing.
The WBBL remains one of the premier stages in women's franchise cricket, with every contest capable of shifting the standings. The Renegades will take the momentum from Hobart into their next fixture, while the Hurricanes must regroup quickly.
