Watch Nic Maddinson usher Renegades to hard-fought win

Nic Maddinson’s 49-ball 87 proved to be the bedrock of Melbourne Renegades’ 22-run win over Brisbane Heat in a Big Bash League game played in Cairns. The worth of Maddinson’s knock can be underpinned by the fact that Andre Russell (28-ball 35) was the only other batter from Renegades to breach the 30-run mark. The Renegades skipper was in the middle till the 18th over of the innings and bashed 10 fours and three sixes. Meanwhile, left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann scalped a three-wicket haul.
