In the latest Big Bash League (BBL13) action, Jake Fraser-McGurk's impressive 70-run performance led the Melbourne Renegades to their first victory of the season. Meanwhile, the Sydney Smash between the Sixers and the Thunder ended in a washout, with both teams sharing the points. The Sixers were just one over away from victory, needing 152 runs to win when rain suspended play. Sean Abbott of the Sixers took the wicket of the Thunder's Cameron Bancroft for 6. The game was eventually called off, with the rain needing to stop by 10:03 AEST for play to continue. Elsewhere, Alex Hales of the Sydney Thunder achieved a milestone by hitting his 100th six in the Big Bash, becoming only the fifth player to do so. Chris Lynn of the Adelaide Strikers set off fireworks on New Year's Eve, smashing his 200th six of the tournament. The Strikers were looking to snap a four-game losing streak and posted a strong total of 4-205 at Adelaide Oval, with Matt Short contributing until he holed out. Dan Lawrence made a debut for the Stars, scoring 50 before being caught short. Beau Webster of the Stars hit a monstrous 108m six, contributing to the team's record run chase and their third consecutive win, as they spoiled the Strikers' New Year's Eve with a victory highlighted by Marcus Stoinis's unbeaten 55 and Webster's 66 not out.
