Scorer: Thilak Ram | Commentator: Alagappan Muthu
10.05 pm When two of the top three hit fifties, in a chase of 152, there's little doubt over whom the winner would be. Travis Head produced a superb half-century, his shots matching Glenn Maxwell's earlier in the day. The Strikers' captain provided the oomph to the chase and once he got going, the Stars bowlers couldn't find a proper response. Thank you for your company through the match, enjoy the rest of your evening.
MK: "Dropped catches and poor captaincy in death bowling has never and will never win you a T20 game.. I think this is what Stars have learnt the hard way this BBL season."

Zampa to Carey, SIX, there's the game! Strikers top the table. Stars close to being knocked out and it all happens off a Carey slog sweep

Zampa to Ingram, 1 run, dropped by Coleman running back from cover. A loopy leg break outside off gets a big slog from Ingram. Top edge results. Then disappointment

Stoinis to Ingram, 2 runs, dropped by Maxwell at deep midwicket. A length ball that Ingram hoicks away, mistiming it spectacularly, should have been a catch. But Stars just don't have it in them this season

Stoinis to Ingram, 1 wide, slower ball goes wrong - a 102 kph full toss strays so far past the wide line outside off
