Marcus Stoinis to Gurinder Sandhu. Reverse Swing-Out half volley, down leg side on the front foot working, to deep mid wicket for 2 runs, shy attempt by Maxwell, fielded by Harper. That brings us to the end of the first innings, with the Renegades posting a defendable total on the board. Josh Brown provided a blistering start at the top, playing a commanding knock of 80 runs, but the rest of the batting line-up failed to capitalise on that platform and push the total into a truly strong position. Hassan Khan did chip in with a handy cameo towards the end, but it wasn't quite enough to add significant late momentum. From the Stars perspective, it was a solid bowling performance overall, led superbly by Marcus Stoinis, who spearheaded the attack with an impressive three-wicket haul. The target looks achievable, but it won't be without its challenges. Can the Stars chase it down comfortably? Let's find out in the run chase.
