Melbourne Renegades skipper Georgia Wareham has claimed back-to-back player-of-the-match awards in a four-wicket win over Sydney Thunder.

Filling in for the injured Sophie Molineux, Wareham smashed 58 off 32 deliveries in the run chase at Junction Oval after claiming 2-25 with her leg-spinners.

Wareham had starred just two days previously against Brisbane Heat with bat and ball, and she backed that up.

After the Thunder made 7-148 in their 20 overs, the Renegades were in trouble at 5-73.

Wareham and Nicole Faltum (37 off 26 deliveries) then combined in a match-winning partnership that enabled the hosts to coast to victory with 11 balls to spare.
