That is all from the Big Bash tonight, goodbye for now!

Muttiah Muralitharan picks up the man of the match award for his outstanding bowling performance of 3/18 off 4 overs.

Adelaide never looked in the game from ball one with poor fielding which was backed up by an inconsistant batting display. Renegades now take top spot with this clinical win.

With the bat Rohrer (35) and Cooper (59) were the stand outs to get them to 155, while Murali and Samuels were the standouts with 3 wickets each.

What a clinical display from Melbourne today, a complete team performance with both bat and ball.

Adelaide Strikers: Michael Klinger, Tim Ludeman (wk), Callum Ferguson, Nathan Reardon, Kieron Pollard, Michael Neser, Gary Putland, Kane Richardson, Brad Young, Theo Doropoulos, Johan Botha (c)

Melbourne Renegades: Aaron Finch (c), Michael Hill, Marlon Samuels, Tom Cooper, Ben Rohrer, Peter Nevill (wk), William Sheridan, Darren Pattinson, Nathan Rimmington, Aaron O'Brien, Muttiah Muralitharan

Melbourne will look for their in form batsman in Finch and Roher. Finch has hit an amazing 229 runs this Big Bash with an average of 76 while his partner in crime and team mate Ben Roher has 161 runs at an average of 53

Aaron Finch looks to be the danger man for the game tonight with his potential to take the game away from Adelaide like he has done previously this year for his Renegades.

Both sides looking to keep their good form running. Melbourne currently sit equal first with Melbourne rivals the Stars while Adelaide are just one win away from joining them on the top.

News from the middle is that Johan Botha has won the toss and elected to bowl first.

With the roof on the field for tonight’s game conditions are perfect for cricket.

Welcome to Match 23 of the KFC Big Bash League. Tonight’s match is between league leaders Melbourne Renegades and the Adelaide Strikers at Etihad Stadium, Melbourne.
