Tess Flintoff's clutch, late hitting cut the tension as the Renegades toppled the Stars in the WBBL's Melbourne derby.

Chasing 142 for victory at Junction Oval, the allrounder (17 off nine) held her nerve with a six, four and four off Annabel Sutherland's penultimate over to clinch the win with four wickets and seven balls to spare.

The Stars had given themselves every chance with some tight bowling after Courtney Webb (37) and Sophie Molineux (32) had put defending champions the Renegades on track.

Needing a run a ball in the final four overs, both Deandra Dottin and Georgia Wareham holed out to heap the pressure on the lower order.

But, needing 12 off 10 balls, Flintoff was up to the task against her former club.
