Peake, 19, Wins It With Last-Ball Six as Renegades Edge Scorchers

The 19-year-old’s unbeaten 44 reinforces his rapid rise, with a departure to captain Australia’s Under-19s in Africa next.

Overview

  • Chasing 130 in Perth, Melbourne needed four off the final delivery and Peake paddled Aaron Hardie over fine leg to seal a four-wicket win.
  • The teenager finished 44 not out from 30 balls after a 42-run stand with captain Will Sutherland steadied a wobbling chase at 72-5.
  • A third-umpire review overturned an on-field catch by Ashton Turner in the 17th over, keeping Peake at the crease.
  • Gurinder Sandhu led the Renegades’ attack with 4-28, including three in one over, as the Scorchers were bowled out for 127.
  • The result lifted Melbourne to sixth on the BBL ladder, while Perth squandered a chance to leapfrog the Hobart Hurricanes.
