Melbourne Renegades beat Sydney Sixers by two wickets in a final-ball finish in the WBBL.

Chloe Tryon's clean striking has ended Sydney Sixers' undefeated start to the WBBL season, with Melbourne Renegades winning by two wickets in a thrilling final-ball match on Sunday at North Sydney Oval.

Ashleigh Gardner delivered with bat and ball for the Sixers, scoring a quick-fire 55 to pilot them to 6-152. With the ball, her offspin removed three of their opponents' top four batters. The Renegades crashed to 4-44 in response, but captain Sophie Molineux's knock of 38 restored their hopes. The visitors entered the final over, delivered by Gardner, at 7-140 needing 13 more runs.

Nicole Faltum scored a pivotal single, handing strike to Tryon. The South African struck 43 from 23 balls, hitting a six over the leg-side fence and a four to bring victory within reach. Though Tryon was out caught by Erin Burns, Milly Illingworth and Faltum completed the win.

Modleux said the victory should give the team confidence after losing to the same opponent on Thursday. The Renegades, who had been in danger of losing pace with the top four, are now 3-3.
