Batting first, Melbourne Renegades scored 151 runs for the loss of eight wickets. Perth Scorchers achieved this target in 16.5 overs for the loss of two wickets.

This batsman faced just 32 balls and played a half-century with the help of six fours and two sixes. During this his strike rate was 181.25 runs.
Although the hero of this victory of Perth, Monroe was not alone. All-rounder Mitchell Marsh also supported him. Together these two batsmen shared a partnership of 99 runs. Marsh scored an unbeaten 42 off 33 balls with the help of two fours and a six. He rotated the strike well with Munro and gave the Kiwi batsman plenty of opportunities to show his hand. Chasing 152 runs, Perth’s team lost their opening pair to a total score of 53. Josh English was dismissed after scoring 23 runs. Cameron Brancroft could also score 23 runs. The first wicket fell on the total score of 49 and the second on the total score of 53, but after these two the team did not lose any other wicket.
