The Melbourne Renegades suffered a stunning collapse in their most recent BBL 10 match against defending champions Sydney Sixers. The former champs Renegades were bowled out for 60 runs while chasing 206 for the win.
Three batsmen in Shaun Marsh, Jake Fraser-McGurk, and Kane Richardson made 13 runs apiece as Ben Dwarshuis’ 4/13, Steve O’Keefe’s 3/16, and two wickets from Carlos Braithwaite routed the Renegades’ batting in a tough chase at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart.
Australia batsman David Warner, who is currently recuperating from a groin injury, which has ruled him out of the upcoming first Test against India in Adelaide, took to Twitter to show his disappointment at the Renegades’ mercurial collapse.

He tweeted that when he saw the scoreline reading 9/43, he thought it was the time he was seeing on the clock on his screen. “Just looked at the bottom of my screen and saw 9/43 and thought it was the time”
Earlier, Sixers batted first after losing the toss and posted 205/4 in 20 overs. Josh Phillippe made 95 in 57 balls with 9 fours and 3 sixes, while Jordan Silk made 45* in 19 balls and Daniel Hughes made 32 runs. Peter Hatzoglou picked 2/40.
This 145-run win by Sixers over Renegades is the highest margin of victory in BBL history.
