So, the Stars expertly defend 142 for their second win in two matches, the Stars slip to their second loss in two matches. That is all we have for you from this game. Goodbye for now
Rhys: "Tye is, in my opinion, the best bowler in T20s in the world. I hope Gloucestershire re-sign him for the Blast!"
Huzefa: "Time to switch over to SA now. Surprise there - Dale Steyn not playing!"
AJ Tye, who has nine wickets in two matches: "It is going alright so far for us. We've defended totals many times before. We just kept pushing and kept taking wickets, which was the key. I used about three or four mystery balls. The guys who have come into the squad have done a good job, and we also pride ourselves on the field."
Jimmy: "Back2Back games the Stars have shot themselves in the foot and thrown games away. First against the Heat with Boland and Hastings bowling over Faulks and today with Maxy and Wright acting as though 200 was the target. "
Ray: "Massive choke by Faulkner at the end. He needs to stop strutting around smacktalking and start delivering in clutch moments."

Tye to Zampa, OUT, AJ Tye seals Scorcher's second win with a five-wicket haul! Very full and straight - not quite the perfect yorker but good enough to breach Zampa's weak defences and rattle the stumps

Tye to Hastings, OUT, Wicket no.4 for AJ Tye. Back-to-back four-wicket hauls for the Scorchers seamer. Banged in short on middle, cramps up the batsman for room. He hooks late and skies it behind. Inglis, the keeper, tracks down the big top edge
