Finn Allen's explosive century helped Perth Scorchers crush Melbourne Renegades' slim final hopes, securing a 50-run win at Marvel Stadium. Allen's 101 off 53 balls, featuring 8 sixes and 5 fours, propelled Scorchers to a massive 219/7 total. Allen did receive some luck after being dropped on 8 and 37, but he made Renegades pay and targeted the region down the ground to devastating effect. Scorchers did not miss a beat without Josh Inglis, who was rested under a Cricket Australia workload management plan. Chasing 220, Renegades needed in-form Josh Brown to get off to a flyer, but he fell lbw for a third-ball duck to left-arm spinner Cooper Connolly in the opening over. The pressure was on Jake Fraser-McGurk, who has endured another tough tournament, but his bid to finish on a high started with three sixes off his first five balls. He scored 35 of Renegades' 40 runs in the powerplay before launching legspinner Luke Holt for his fifth six. What a rollercoaster! Mitchell Marsh and Finn Allen were going hammer and tongs, trading blows and keeping the crowd on the edge. Allen's lucky escape when Dixon dropped his catch off Sandhu, and then Sandhu dropping Allen again Renegades must be kicking themselves! Sandhu's momentary relief with the catch wasn't enough to turn the tide. Scorchers' momentum was unstoppable! Despite Tim Seifert's fighting 66 and Jake Fraser-McGurk's rapid 42, Renegades couldn't chase the target, ending their campaign. Allen's knock, his fifth T20 century, showcased his destructive batting prowess. Perth Scorchers 219 for 7 (Allen 101, Hardie 22, Elliott 4-28) beat Melbourne Renegades 169 for 7 (Seifert 66, Fraser-McGurk 42, Connolly 2-23) by 50 runs
