After opting to bowl first, the Strikers restricted the Renegades to 142/9 and chased the target comfortably in 17.1 overs, thanks to Chris Lynn's blistering knock.
The Renegades struggled to stabilize their promising start after Josh Brown's 66 off 41 balls. After his dismissal in the 14th over, the team faltered badly.
A late collapse saw them lose six wickets for just 42 runs, leaving them with a below-par total on a tricky pitch.
Now, chasing the target of the 143 runs, Chris Lynn stole the show with a scintillating 88 off 51 balls.
He received good support from D’Arcy Short, who contributed 27 off 20. Despite losing a few wickets late in the innings, the Strikers secured victory with 17 balls to spare.
