Matthew Wade top-scored with 61 in an innings where the next best was 17 by Thomas Rogers. He struck three fours and two sixes in his 46-ball knock. When the left-hander went high over long-on in an attempt to hit his third six of the innings, he was caught by Tom Banton with some useful assistance from Matt Renshaw. Renshaw caught the ball on the rope but tossed it up as soon as he stepped beyond the boundary line.

In turn, Banton safely plucked the catch to leave Hobart Hurricanes reeling at 98-6 after 15 overs. Check out the spectacular but collective team effort from Matt Renshaw and Tom Banton.
