An in-form Ben McDermott clobbered an unbeaten 89 from 55 to guide the Hobart Hurricanes to a convincing six-wicket Big Bash win over the Melbourne Renegades.
McDermott, coming off 46 in his opening game and a century for Australia A the match prior, was the leading hand as Hobart chased down 5-157 with 14 balls to spare.
He timed the ball well through the off side and hit seven fours and five sixes.
McDermott took a particular liking to Will Sutherland in the 15th over, launching two massive leg-side maximums.
It continues a strong start to the domestic season for McDermott who hit four half centuries in four Sheffield Shield games for Tasmania, including two scores of 90.
After being sent in, the Renegades fell to 2-4 in the second over before young wicketkeeper Sam Harper led the recovery with an unbeaten 66.
The 24-year-old shared a 109-run partnership with import Rilee Rossouw (59 from 40).
Hurricanes' quick Scott Boland was exceptionally economical with the new ball, taking 1-3 from two overs including a rare maiden before returning late to finish with 2-19.
Rossouw was given a life on 33 when Will Jacks made a complete mess of a simple skied chance off speedster Riley Meredith.
Veteran Shaun Marsh, captaining Melbourne in the absence of Aaron Finch who left the BBL bubble for one match, was out for one in the opening over.
Melbourne made a surprise x-factor substitute at the 10-over mark with the score at 2-69, bringing in batsman Mackenzie Harvey for impressive rookie spinner Peter Hatzoglou.
But he didn't get a bat with Mohammad Nabi and Beau Webster coming in above him.
Hobart lost D'Arcy Short for one early in the chase, his third single-figure score from four BBL innings.
The Hurricanes have won three of four matches, while the Renegades are one from three.
