Veteran Matthew Wade opened with a bang and rising star Nathan Ellis showed he's got ice in his veins as the Hobart Hurricanes won out in a tight, hard fought tussle in an entertaining BBL|09 clash
Hobart’s BBL finals hopes are alive after holding out the Melbourne Renegades by four runs in a drama-packed battle at Marvel Stadium.
The Hurricanes appeared to have Tuesday night’s match in the bag before a surging 85-run partnership from Mohammad Nabi and Beau Webster almost pinched the game for the hosts.
Nabi blasted 63 from 30 balls, but the Afghani and Webster (50) fell at the death as the Hurricanes survived the onslaught with Nathan Ellis (1-37) holding firm bowling the final over.
While the Renegades slumped to a 10th defeat in an unhappy title defence, their immediate attention is with the health of wicketkeeper Sam Harper.
