WATCH: Melbourne Renegades win dramatic WBBL clash thanks to final-ball six

Renegades needed five from the final delivery of the match, bowled by experienced South Africa international Marizanne Kapp, as they chased 140 for victory at Drummoyne Oval

Melbourne Renegades beat Sydney Sixers in the most dramatic fashion, thanks to a last-ball six from Courtney Webb.

The Renegades needed five from the final delivery of the WBBL match, bowled by experienced South Africa international Marizanne Kapp, as they chased 140 for victory at Drummoyne Oval.

And Webb duly obliged, depositing Kapp over long leg to claim the win in style.

"There wasn't a lot going through my mind when it all happened, just swing for the fences," Webb said afterwards.

It completed an unlikely and unexpected two-wicket success for the Renegades, who needed 28 off the final two overs and 16 from the last.

COURTNEY. WEBB.

Webb's unbeaten 34, made from 31 balls, turned the game on its head, however.

Earlier, the Sixers had accumulated 139 for 4, with Kapp making 52 not out. It was not to be the Sydney side's day, though, and defeat was made worse by an injury sustained by Ellyse Perry.

The world's top player landed heavily on the boundary during the 12th over of Melbourne's chase and was unable to bowl the final over of her allocation.

"It looks like she's got a little bit of an AC injury," teammate Erin Burns said.

"But if there's anyone that can come back from that kind of stuff it's Ellyse. She soldiered on pretty well even though she was one arm down.

"I'm sure she'll get on the physio table and probably do a few scans and see how it's looking. All the medical staff will be around her, so I'm sure she'll be back on the park in no time."
