Renshaw was 22 of 26 before he struck his first six off Cameron Boyce over deep midwicket. Labuschagne was busy feeding him the strike, facing just two dots in his first 18 balls.
He fell trying to clear the rope in the 18th over but allowed Renshaw to reach 50 in 41 balls and club a six and a four in the final over to tick the total above 150, which looked unlikely when Lynn fell.
The Renegades have tried a host of different top-three combinations in the tournament due to form, absence, and injury. Finch and Tom Cooper opened as they did against the Sydney Sixers and Cooper got another rapid start making 23 off 10 before holing out in the second over. The Renegades sent out Dan Christian at No. 3, a role he had only filled seven times in 315 T20 matches, and just once since 2013.
