The Hobart Hurricanes continued their dominant run at home, maintaining an unbeaten record this season by defeating the Melbourne Renegades in a nail-biting match on January 14. The Hurricanes chased the target of 155 runs with four wickets in hand, with significant contribution and classic finish by Tim David. 

Tim David's Decisive Role

Chasing modest target, the Hurricanes were in a difficult position, with the required run rate creeping up and wickets falling at regular intervals. However, Tim David, known for his explosive batting and calm demeanor in pressure situations, stepped up when it mattered most.  

Coming to the crease in the middle overs, Tim David paced his innings expertly and made an unbeaten 24 off just 15 balls. 

With eight runs required off the final over, the game hung in the balance. After managing just a single run from the first two balls of the over, he turned the match on its head by smashing a massive six, and reducing the equation to one run needed from three deliveries. 

Maintaining his composure, he struck the winning runs, securing the victory for the Hurricanes and showcasing his exceptional finishing skills.  

Earlier in the game, Mitchell Owen gave the Hurricanes a flying start, scoring a brisk 24 off 14 balls. However, the Hurricanes lost momentum in the middle overs as Caleb Jewell, Charlie Wakim, and Jake Doran fell cheaply. Nikhil Chaudhary and Matthew Wade steadied the ship with a crucial 38-run partnership, but it was the final push from David and skipper Nathan Ellis that sealed the deal for the home side.  

With this victory, the Hurricanes climbed to the top of the points table, while the Renegades have slipped to the bottom of the table in the BBL points table
