The Hurricanes secure their spot at No. 2 for now after this win. Renegades back to the drawing board. That's all we have for you tonight on ESPNcricinfo. See you tomorrow for more BBL action. There's also the SA20 and ILT20 happening tonight so for the cricket fan in you, there's plenty available on our site. On behalf of Ranjith P, this is Sreshth Shah saying thank you and bye bye.
10.40pm Hurricanes were at 67/3 in ten overs and their chase was meandering nowhere. But then came Webster's 27, followed by Rehan's 23, and finally Wade finished things off with his unbeaten 20-ball 43. Renegades suffer their second loss in three games in BBL 2025-26 after making a game out of this match courtesy their bowling. Eventually, Wade's experience and a below-par Renegades score ensured the Hurricanes won with a whole over to spare.
Credit also to Nathan Ellis for his 3-30. He's also the Player of the Match. Ellis says "I don't feel I deserve it seeing the Old Boy take us home. I'll have a burger or chicken. We lost Tim in Perth, gained Wade, we weren't sure who would bat at No. 5, Nikhil was the one who had to slide. But that's been the mantra of the team for people to step in for whatever role they were needed to do. Nikhil was always ready to go despite his shoulder injury. I'm really proud of our spinners - Rishad and Rehan. You don't really know what to expect but they've been so reliable. Pair that with Riley and Chris Jordan and that's great. We've not had our best game so far but our bowlers have filled any gap as required.
MR have not won at the Bellerive Oval against HH since 2017. They've also lost four of the last five games against this side. Does that change tonight? Time for the final fourish.

Arman: "feel like rishad's a better bat than ellis"
sunny: "HH really played Zampa poorly today. Seemed like they were not sure whether to attack or defend"
