Chase challenges
Despite Seifert's fifty, Renegades struggle in chase
Tim Seifert, playing for the Renegades, contributed with a solid 66 off 43 balls, but it wasn't enough to chase down the Scorchers's total. However, after Jake Fraser-McGurk was dismissed for a quick-fire 42 off just 18 balls, he started losing partners regularly. Harry Dixon, who made his season debut, had to retire hurt on one after being hit by a nasty bouncer from Mahli Beardman.
