- A comprehensive win from the Scorchers, chasing down 171 without losing a wicket with an unbeaten 90 from an in-form Michael Klinger, and 76 from Shaun Marsh.
- The Renegades top order fired here, with openers Aaron Finch and Chris Gayle scoring 72 and 41 respectively, in a very respectable 170.
- Another poor showing from the Renegades bowlers, however, saw the Scorchers openers knock off the 171 required for the win within 19 overs. Michael Klinger is in a rich vein of form, and anyone who follows me on twitter would have seen I had backed his overs, which landed before the end of the power play. A bad day to not to be a spread-bettor...
- The Scorchers have hit their straps after an opening-day defeat to the Heat, and look set to challenge for the title here. The Scorchers lost their opening game last year, but that was the only game they did lose, and a repeat of this in BBL05 would not be surprising here.
The Renegades play the Stars at the MCG on 2nd Dec
The Scorchers host the Sixers at the WACA in the second game of the double-header on the 2nd
