Renegades skipper Nic Maddinson won the bat flip and sent the hosts in, but Philippe turned to his home ground expertise on the way to a 15th BBL fifty.

The 25-year-old frequently sought out a short boundary that was a mere 55 metres from the pitch, clearing the fence twice in a Mujeeb Ur Rahman over on the way to his crucial half-century.

The Renegades claimed the momentum after Philippe scooped a slower ball from Sutherland straight to Akeal Hosein, while Kane Richardson also restricted the hosts with 2-22, but their batting line-up was unable to live up to their reputations on the night.
