Big Bash League: Bethell’s Brilliance Not Enough to Save Renegades
Jacob Bethell’s Heroics Fall Short as Renegades Suffer Defeat
Jacob Bethell’s impressive 87 and two wickets were not enough to lift the struggling Melbourne Renegades to victory as they lost to the Hobart Hurricanes by four wickets in the Big Bash League.
Bethell’s Blazing Half-Century
Bethell lashed 87 from 50 balls, featuring four sixes and eight fours, in the Renegades’ total of 154 for seven from their 20 overs. He came to the crease with his side struggling at 23 for three in the fifth over, and together with Tim Seifert (24) and Will Sutherland (15), helped the Renegades recover.
Bowling Heroics from Meredith and Bethell
Riley Meredith was the Hurricanes’ top bowler with 3-36, while Bethell then returned to grab 2-29 with his off-spin. However, the Hurricanes coasted to 155 for six off 19.4 overs to remain top of the table with 13 points from their eight games.
Renegades’ Struggle Continues
The Renegades, meanwhile, remain rooted at the bottom with just six points from their nine games.
Conclusion
Despite Bethell’s impressive individual performance, the Renegades were unable to secure a much-needed win. The team’s struggles continue, and they will need to regroup and refocus if they are to turn their season around.
