Yes Melbourne Renegades won thrilling game against Brisbane Heat by 14 runs after scoring extraordinarily large total of 212/5 with great century by Tim Seifert and good support by Ollie Peake. Despite brave fight of Heat with 198 runs, with good batting by Colin Munro and Jimmy Peirson, they failed to reach target, as their bowlers gave away too many runs, and Shaheen Shah Afridi had tough first game. This victory shows that Renegades are very dangerous team in this season due to their strong hitting, and yes Heat should focus on improving their bowling to stop teams from scoring so high in future.

The performance and playing style of both HH women and men is quite better and challenging, that is why they were able to win this game too. ST's performance was also quite better in front of us, their players had set a very strong target but their bowler did not have pressure, that is why they will lose the game. HH's performance was successful in this win before the last ball, if ST's bowlers had put pressure, their team could have won this game. The performance of ST's players made us happy, we also hoped from their bowler that they could have won with a better performance, but they could not win till the end in any way. Congratulations to HH for their improvement and their struggle and they will have to succeed in this league too.
