Scorer: K Vairavan | Commentator: Shashwat Kumar

7:20pm Right. That brings us to the end of our coverage for this game. There is another BBL game scheduled for the day, although it is yet to begin with rain playing spoilsport. Join Andrew McGlashan for all the updates from that top-of-the-table clash between the Brisbane Heat and the Sydney Sixers. Until next time, this is goodbye from Raghav, Vairavan and me. Take care, folks!

Chris Jordan is the Player of the Match, here is what he has to say: It was a bit of a must-win game for us, kind of a knockout situation. To restrict them to 150, we were happy and then the boys knocked it off - overall a great effort. We try not to hit panic stations. We have not hit our mark as well as we would have liked but we know the potential in our team. Any bowling line-up coming up against him (Ben McDermott), he will always be feared. (On the upcoming matches) We are on the road for three games or so, and it can be a good period for the team to galvanise and get some hard away wins. We will take the win tonight and take every game as it comes.

7:11pm A fairly comfortable win for the Hurricanes in the end. There was a brief patch, when both Wade and Jewell were dismissed in close succession, where it felt their chase might get derailed. That, though, turned out to be a slight aberration. McDermott, returning to the side, starred with an unbeaten 53 off 34 balls, while Wright did his bit too, smashing 34 off 25.

Lots to ponder for the Sydney Thunder, meanwhile. They have now won only once in six games, and they might be entering last-ditch territory very soon, if they have not already. Their batters failed to show up, and that put extra pressure on their bowlers. They did well to hang on for parts, but the Power Surge, which brought about 22 runs, definitively turned the scales in the hosts' favour, and the Hurricanes did not look back.

McAndrew to Anderson, SIX, that will be that! Anderson seals it in style! Half-tracker on middle and leg. Anderson skips down the track and wallops it over deep mid wicket. Does not exactly fly into the stands, but clears the rope by just enough. The Hurricanes lift themselves off the foot of the table, and in fact, move up to fifth!

The Hurricanes one hit away from their second win of the season. McAndrew to bowl what could be the final over of this game. Anderson on strike. Right-arm around

END OF OVER:

Hatcher to McDermott, FOUR, wow, what power! Another slower ball but this time, McDermott has telegraphed it. Gets into position and bludgeons it back past the bowler. Nearly took out the umpire too. Gets to his fifty as well, off just 34 balls!

Hatcher to McDermott, no run, change of pace, bowled right in the slot outside off. McDermott reaches out for it and drives it straight to extra cover

Hatcher to Anderson, 1 run, full and wide outside off. Anderson drills it straight to extra cover. Too hot to handle for the fielder and a slight misfield allows a run

Hatcher to Anderson, no run, full toss outside off and Anderson, believe it or not, lets it go

Around the wicket now

Hatcher to Anderson, no run, another bumper, this time on leg stump. Anderson has a massive swipe across the line and is beaten for pace. That whistled through!
