The Melbourne Renegades bounced back in style to register their first win of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25 season. Chasing a modest target of 75 set by the Hobart Hurricanes, they achieved victory in just nine overs with six wickets in hand, thanks to a commanding knock by Tim Seifert.

A Shaky Start for Renegades

Despite the small target, the Renegades faced early hiccups as both openers, Josh Brown and Jake Fraser-McGurk, fell cheaply. The early strikes by the Hurricanes gave them a glimmer of hope, with Nathan Ellis once again leading from the front.

Ellis even accounted for Jacob Bethell, a much-hyped young talent who was secured by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for INR 2.60 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction. Bethell struggled to get going and was dismissed for just three runs off six balls, caught off a clever slower delivery by Ellis.

Tim Seifert Takes Charge

With the team under slight pressure, Tim Seifert rose to the occasion. Known for his explosive batting, Seifert delivered yet another match-winning performance. He smashed an unbeaten 37 runs off just 19 balls, hammering four boundaries and two towering sixes. His aggressive approach ensured that the Renegades completed the chase without further drama.

This six-wicket victory marked the first win of the season for the Melbourne Renegades, who had earlier lost their opening match against the Sydney Sixers.
