Commentator: Deivarayan Muthu
7.45pm That is that. The Hurricanes knock out the Scorchers to make the final. No D'Arcy Short, no problem for the Hurricanes. Electric fifties from Wade and McDermott launched them to 210 for 4. The Scorchers then wilted under scoreboard pressure and were ultimately bowled out in 17.5 overs. Hope you enjoyed our coverage as much as we did bringing it to you. And thanks for your company and comments. Do come back for the second semi-final. This is Deivarayan Muthu signing off. Cheers
"It was a clinical performance," Bailey says. "We're in the position we deserve to be. I've got no idea [training for the final]. As a group, that Scorchers team deserves respect. To beat them we've got to put our best team and we did it."

Christian to Bresnan, OUT, Dan Christian wraps up Hobart Hurricanes' win and makes another tournament final. We will have a new champion this season. Dipping slower cutter, Bresnan gets a taste of his own medicine. He does not spot the change-up, plays across the line, and is trapped in front
