7.35pm So that's two in two and full eight points for the Stars. The win was set up by Stoinis and Maxwell even though they couldn't finish big after being 92 for 1 after the first ten overs. But then their bowlers bowled tight lines - Zampa was impressive in particular, finishing with 2 for 10 from his four overs - to restrict Thunder to 149 for 9 and give the Stars a 22-run win. And fittingly, Zampa is the Man of the Match.
That's all from our side for this game. See you at the second game.

Zampa to Cook, no run, flatter and quicker this time, Cook comes down the ground but ends up pushing it towards extra cover

Zampa to Cook, 2 runs, another slog sweep, another top edge but this one falls well short of deep midwicket
On a hat-trick

Zampa to Holt, OUT, length ball on middle and leg, pushed through this time. Holt too goes for a slog sweep and gets a top edge. Ends up skying it towards short third man where Hatcher had no problems pouching it

Zampa to McAndrew, OUT, fuller outside off, goes for the slog sweep but gets a top edge as the ball spins away from him. Dunk calls for it and takes it near short square leg

Zampa to Holt, no run, fuller on the stumps, goes for the reverse sweep but misses. An appeal for lbw but not given. The only reason could be he got some bat on it
