The Scorchers, sent in to bat, struggled to make runs on the difficult surface. Cooper Connolly was the standout performer for Perth, scoring 66 off 50 balls, while Matthew Spoors contributed 29 off 26. Tom Rogers of the Renegades was instrumental in restricting the Scorchers, taking 3-22 off his four overs.
Chasing 143, the Renegades were well-placed at 3-96 in the 10th over but suffered a middle-order collapse, losing 5-44. However, captain Will Sutherland held his nerve and scored the winning runs with one over to spare.
Key performances included Tim Seifert's 28 off 14, Jacob Bethell's 30 off 22, and Laurie Evans's 24 off 18 for the Renegades. The Scorchers' spinners, Ashton Agar, Connolly, and captain Ashton Turner, played crucial roles in slowing the Renegades' run rate and taking wickets.
Mackenzie Harvey of the Renegades was praised for his outstanding fielding, including a sensational one-handed catch and a direct hit run out. Despite concerns about the outfield condition, both teams agreed to play, and the match officials deemed the ground safe for the game.
