Alex Hales is the Player of the Match.

9:59pm Thunder close their last group game in style, and that should be a top-three spot confirmed unless Hurricanes can win by a massive margin.The win gives Thunder 31 points now and with a vastly superior NRR than anyone below them. A 116-run stand to close it out too, this will feel nice. For Adelaide Strikers, who are on 28 points now, there are three teams who could potentially overtake them in fourth place. In essence, they will have to do a lot of nervous waiting as we head into the final few rounds of the tournament. They struggled early with the bat and just never seemed to be in control of the game. A brute of an opening delivery to get Khawaja was about all that went their way in the defense too. Alex Hales took a bit of time to get himself in and then went into the zone that's given him so much success this season. Yet another fifty, yet more nonchalant six-hitting. He was nicely supported by Callum Ferguson at the other end. They'll sleep well tonight, unlike some of the team in tomorrow's triple-header. See you!
