Chris Green, Player of the Match: Too long overdue; it was great to contribute to the win. (Reacted to the hard length deliveries) With the rain ball started to slide a little bit, I think if you can hit the middle of the bat, you get rewarded, and the ball was racing in the outfield. Post that surge over, we managed to keep up with the rate and got the win in front of home fans. Very special; these guys turn in day out, every year, through thick and thin, they have been fantastic. We have been great this season; they continue to support us, get behind us. Feels very, very special. Apology for being too little too late but still great to win at home. We want to win our next one against Sixers-- they have got a great side on paper. Hopefully we can win at the SCG. We got a great win there last year in the finals so that will be a good challenge. It's nice to knock out another team tonight

What an enthralling game of cricket! Kept us on the edge of our seats and oscillated like a pendulum in the last few overs! Green came in and conquered, changing the complexion of the game with his pyrotechnics. His 34 off 13 sealed the deal. What an impactful innings, making sure his side didn't hiccup any further and stabilizing the sinking ship as wickets tumbled but he was a resolute man on a mission to cheer up the home crowd. He put Sandhu under pressure, hitting three back-to-back sixes, and the Renegades slipped the game there. In the penultimate over, he thwacked two fours and Maddison also held his end of the bargain, getting a quickfire 30. The crucial partnership tipped the scales in Thunder's favor and this will cheer up the entire squad, as they had a forgettable season so far

Fade: "Sandhu put on the pressure, Sandhu takes it off. What a contest this has been. T20 franchise cricket is the most dramatic it has ever been.

Josh: "Sorry Chris Green, I was unfamiliar with your game"

Matthew: "@Dan: Thunder only have themselves to blame. Rain was coming down, a delay was clearly in the offing, yet they were happy to nurdle the ball around in the last two overs before the break. The catch was fine. Only questionable decision here was why the umps cut four overs off the chase - what happened to the usual 30 or so min grace period before an innings becomes DLS-shortened? "
