Melbourne Stars vs Melbourne Renegades, 22nd Match, Big Bash League 2025-26 - CommentaryMLS vs MLR, 22nd Match, Big Bash League 2025-26 - Commentary

Stoinis to Sutherland, SIX, pumped down the ground and Sutherland has done it! Renegades get over the line after a cracking Melbourne derby which went back and forth between the teams. Sutherland is presented with the mace by Shane Warne's son and it's a win they desperately needed to not fall too far behind in the race for the playoffs

Haris Rauf to Rizwan, out Caught by Tom Curran!! Rauf is pumped as he gets rid of his countryman! Stars are right back in it now as Rizwan departs as well. Full on the pads at 144kph, he looks to flick it away but closes the face too soon. Maybe it stopped on him? Takes the leading edge and loops to mid-off for a simple catch. Rizwan c Tom Curran b Haris Rauf 41(38) [4s-4]

Mitchell Swepson to Josh Brown, out Bowled!! The wicket they desperately wanted! Swepson gets rid of Brown! Flat on a length, attacks the stumps, Brown backs away looking to go over extra cover but there's enough turn to beat him on the outside edge. It crashes into off and Stars still have hope. Josh Brown b Mitchell Swepson 84(48) [4s-9 6s-4]

Behrendorff to Tom Curran, SIX, Curran playing a blinder here! Short of length into the body, he gets under it nicely, opens the hip and pulls it high and long over deep backward square

Gurinder Sandhu to Stoinis, out Caught by Josh Brown!! That's a daft dismissal and the Stars keep losing wickets - slower short ball and he was looking to ramp it over the keeper's head, but call Stoinis can do is to ride it right off the toe-end and the ball lobs in the direction of short fine. A simple catch for Brown and the Stars captain walks away in dismay. Stoinis c Josh Brown b Gurinder Sandhu 16(14) [4s-2]

Hassan Khan to Maxwell, out Caught by Matthew Spoors!! Oh dear! This is so poor from the experienced campaigner and the Stars find themselves in a hole - well bowled by Hassan, slowed doen the pace and drifted one across the right-hander, Maxwell had backed away and was undone by the flight, went through with the swipe, gets a massive top-edge and holes out to long-on. Maxwell c Matthew Spoors b Hassan Khan 1(4)
