INNINGS BREAK
The Hurricanes have finished up at 8/164.
Hobart started well but the introduction of Dwayne Bravo into the attack stifled the Hurricanes momentum. The West Indian medium pacer took five wickets for the Renegades and was pivotal in restricting the score of the home side.
D’Arcy Short (34) and Ben McDermott (34) top scored.

BBL|07 arrives in the Apple Isle for the first time this season as Hobart Hurricanes open their campaign against Melbourne Renegades at Blundstone Arena in Hobart.
West Indian allrounder Jofra Archer comes into the Hurricanes squad, replacing English bowler Tom Curran – who originally signed for the Hobart-based side before being called into England’s Ashes squad.
The Renegades arguably boast the most talented squad in BBL|07, headlined once again by power hitter Aaron Finch and West Indian bowler Dwayne Bravo.
Fellow West Indian Sunil Narine won’t be returning for the Renegades this season for personal reasons, with Afghan Mohammad Nabi coming in the side for the first half of BBL|07.
Both the Hurricanes and Renegades will be looking for the perfect start as the BBL season rolls on.
