The third umpire intervened on the final ball as Melbourne Renegades beat Hobart Hurricanes in dramatic fashion…

A rare cricket rule granted the Melbourne Renegades a dramatic four-wicket victory over the Hobart Hurricanes in their WBBL clash in Hobart. With the scores tied at 154 apiece on the final delivery, Renegades batter Deandra Dottin missed the ball, but video replays revealed Hurricanes wicketkeeper Lizelle Lee caught the delivery in front of the stumps. The umpires called a no ball on the third umpire's intervention, giving Melbourne the decisive winning run.
Earlier in the match, Hobart posted 7-154 behind captain Nicola Carey's 62, while Renegades skipper Sophie Molineux claimed 4-22. Melbourne opener Hayley Matthews led the run chase with 59 from 44 balls before a middle-order collapse and a late over-rate penalty against Hobart set up the thrilling finish.
