Usama Mir, the Pakistan spinner is known for his guile and class and it was on full display during the Big Bash League clash between the Melbourne rivals - Stars and Renegades. Mir made Renegades batter, Tim Seifert his bunny as the batter was dismissed with the ball going through his legs.

Seifert looked in decent touch and was ready to accelerate against Mir, the wily leg spinner of the Melbourne Stars team. The Renegades were struggling for runs as the opposition bowlers had suffocated them for runs. However, the Kiwi batter went for a big shot and perished as his stumps were knocked over.

Tim Seifert went for a reverse sweep against Mir, but he missed it completely as the ball went through his legs and nutmegged him to castle the stumps. The batter looked frustrated and rightly so as the team were pushed on the brink of defeat after the wicket.

Renegades post 168 Vs disciplined Stars

The top-3 including Seifert failed to deliver, but the young star, Jacob Bethell and Jonathan Wells played blinders as both the batters scored freely and slammed 49 and 45 respectively as the team posted a decent total on the board. 

If not for those two, the Renegades would have finished lower, but now the bowlers have something to fight for.

The season has been a topsy-turvy one for both the sides. While Stars are languishing at the bottom of the table, Renegades are at the 6th position and a win here could take them to the top-4. Similarly, if Stars win, they'll jump out of the bottom of the table.
