Gades go down to Stars in first RMIT Melbourne derby

Here are the key moments from the game:

RMIT Melbourne Derby

While the weather saw a shortened game, we still managed to get some cricket in for the first RMIT Melbourne Derby of BBL|13.

It didn’t look great early with the rain, but after the covers came off the MCG crowd was able to see a pre-game performance from Peking Duk before the game got underway - with the Renegades batting first.

QDK launches a bomb

It was a fast start from Quinton de Kock as he made the most of the reduced overs early on.

A flourish of boundaries from the South African dynamo was highlighted by a monstrous six deep into the crowd from a swivelling pull shot - 95 metres in length.

It may have been short-lived, ending on 23 off 16 balls but it was an entertaining innings none the less.

First ball, first six

Back to the ground where he tore the Stars batting line-up apart one year before, Tom Rogers (the Renegades one) made sure he picked up where he left off, but this time with the bat.

Coming to the crease at 6-79, the Tasmanian quick didn’t waste any time, clobbering the very first ball of his innings over the rope for six.

Rogers would put on a handy 14-run partnership late in the innings alongside Mackenzie Harvey, but it wouldn’t be enough to get the Gades over the line.
