Dwayne Bravo was the pick of the bowlers for the Renegades, claiming three wickets for 22 runs, while Nick Winter picked up two to prevent the Stars from posting a big total.

The Renegades came out to bat knowing that a score of 170 would prevent their opponents from clinching their first win of the season, but they were bowled out inside 13 overs.

However, Tom Cooper was the only batsman to reach double figures, but he lasted for just 15 balls to score 10 runs, while Winter and Callum Ferguson were both out for a duck.

The Stars' attack shared the wickets, with Michael Beer, Jackson Bird and Scott Boland each picking up two as the Renegades were bowled out for just 57
