Stars Openers Take Derby Revenge on Renegades
Tom Rogers scored the equal second-fastest half-century for Melbourne Stars while Sam Harper remained unbeaten on 84, leading the team to an eight-wicket victory in the derby.
- On Saturday at Marvel Stadium, Melbourne Stars chased 167 and won by eight wickets with 25 deliveries to spare after Melbourne Renegades posted 166 largely due to Josh Brown's 80 off 50 balls.
- The derby mattered because the Melbourne Stars reversed a derby loss six days earlier, while the Melbourne Renegades had a match in hand to draw level on the table.
- Tom Rogers brought up a 50 off 19 before being run out for 53 off 24, anchoring the chase, with Sam Harper unbeaten on 84 off 51.
- The victory ended a three-match losing run for Melbourne Stars and makes life harder for Melbourne Renegades, Peter Siddle said it pushed the Stars toward second on the BBL table.
- With three games left for the Renegades and two matches for the Stars, Sam Harper's 356 runs at a strike rate of 159 bolster the Stars' chances.
