- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.3 both batters stranded at one end, Stoinis in the end has to go! Because Maxwell had made his ground at the striker's end. It was Stoinis who initially called for the run after looking to bunt it behind square on the off side, Maxwell responded and made his ground, by which time Stoinis had wandered out. So had no option but to sacrifice his wicket. 31/22.6 bizarre way to go! Looks to pull but Clarke gets a thick inside edge onto the thigh pad as the ball lobs to the fielder running in from backward point 18/19.3 attempts the switch hit but is done in by sharp turn! Sangha bowled this a touch short as well, Maxwell was in position attempting a full ball that he could swat, went through early and missed it altogether. 61/317.4 this time Cutting at long-on makes no mistake. Sliced strraight up in the air and Cutting moves to his left to take it near the sightscreen. Cartwright did not get it off the middle as it was bowled on the stumps 141/4Extras12 (lb 1, nb 3, w 8)TOTAL165/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8.25)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Joe Clarke, 2.6 ov), 2-31 (Marcus Stoinis, 4.3 ov), 3-61 (Glenn Maxwell, 9.3 ov), 4-141 (Hilton Cartwright, 17.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.6 got him! Hales has paid the price for being too inventive! Goes a long way across to sweep, but Zampa fires this full and fast, he misses it completely and is trapped plumb in front. 20/13.1 he's scooped that onto the stumps! Went across, got down on one knee to scoop it over the keeper's head but the fine deflection smashed the stumps instead. 29/217.2 this game is turning. The short ball and hurries Gilkes with the angle from round the wicket, he gloves the pull and Joe Clarke nearly makes a mess of a simple catch. Snaffles it and goes to ground - not sure whether he lost balance at the last moment there, but manages to hang on. Another big wicket for The Stars 135/514.1 Qais is back on for a wicket and he delivers. Such a good outfield catch by Maxi at long-off. Billings slices the lofted hit after stepping out, Maxi judged it well and ran to his left to tumble and take it two-handed even as it went away from him a little in the end. A wicket The Stars desperately needed. 118/315.5 pace does it for Couch. Sams hurried on the short ball, takes the top-edge on the pull and a simple catch for Joe Clarke. Stars fighting back with another wicket. The chase isn't as straightforward anymore 123/4Extras12 (lb 2, w 10)TOTAL161/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.05)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Alex Hales, 1.6 ov), 2-29 (Sam Whiteman, 3.1 ov), 3-118 (Sam Billings, 14.1 ov), 4-123 (Daniel Sams, 15.5 ov), 5-135 (Matthew Gilkes, 17.2 ov)
