10.20pm A rare high-scoring encounter in this year's BBL is won by the team defending a target, which is even rarer in modern-day T20 cricket. It was an innings of ups and downs, just like how T20s often progress.
The Strikers needed 13 to win off the last over, but Jofra Archer found his lengths, his lines and some appreciable pace to finish with 4-0-15-3, a spell that turned out to be the difference between victory. The short boundary made things interesting and for a while, Travis Head and Colin Ingram made batting look incredibly easy, but they fell a few balls short eventually.
Jigar Shah: "So to conclude Archer 4-0-15-3 outbolwed Rashid Khan today 4-0-18-2 and thats the difference between two sides. "

Archer to Rashid Khan, 1 run, superb last over from Archer. Short down leg, pulled away towards midwicket. Archer sprints after it, but can't get there. The Strikers can't run nine either, so the Hurricanes put up a seven-run victory

Archer to Neser, 1 run, the crowd goes wild. Full and straight, hit out to mid-off. And without an extra, this game is done

Archer to Rashid Khan, 2 runs, good length on leg, Rashid backs away and swings, badly bunted away towards midwicket. Falls in no-man's land, for two!
Rashid Khan. 13 off 4. Strikers need a boundary in the next two balls.

Archer to Neser, OUT, gone? Bye or run-out. A yorker outside off, creeps underneath the bat. Wade rips off the glove and throws the stumps down at the batsman's end with Wells short. Is that the match? Three dots in succession. The game has swung
JW Wells run out 28 (18b 0x4 2x6) SR: 155.55
Michael Neser. Short boundary on the off side, long on the leg side. That was such a big wicket. Mid-off and third man are in
19.1
W
Archer to Lehmann, OUT, plumb in front! 144 kph, a low full toss and dead straight. Lehmann misses a flick, misses the ball and is struck in front of leg. Was it sliding down? Didn't look like it. Another dot ball. New man in. Hurricanes in front now?
JS Lehmann lbw b Archer 16 (8b 1x4 1x6) SR: 200.00
Archer will bowl the last over. 13 off 6 to win. 12 for a Super Over. Mid-off is in, square leg is up. Cover and point too.
