Sydney Thunder vs Adelaide Strikers, 28th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Laughlin to Lenton, SIX, Lenton is playing a good cameo here. Short-pitched delivery outside off, Lenton waist for the ball and upper-cuts it over the cover region. Races away to the deep extra cover fence

Laughlin to Chris Green, FOUR, pitched up delivery, Green drills it straight down the ground. Rahid Khan sprints across and slides to his left from long-on, but he's made contact with the ropes. Good effort, but in vain

Laughlin to Lenton, SIX, Lenton goes straight and makes good contact. It was the slower delivery from a good length, Lenton stayed leg-side of the ball and tonked it over the bowler's head. The long-off though for a moment that he had a chance, but the ball sailed over him

Laughlin to Arjun Nair, out Caught by Neser!! Arjun Nair's iffy innings comes to an end. A pacy full toss and Nair loses his shape as he tries to loft it over long-off. Gets it off the toe end and perishes. Neser comes in from long-off and gobbles that up with ease. Arjun Nair c Neser b Laughlin 8(15)

Neser to Watson, out Caught by Wells!! This was on the cards. Watson perishes trying to up the ante. Just 10 runs were scored off the last four over. Watson sees the high full toss and swings his bat hard, doesn't middle it and hits it straight to Wells at deep mid-wicket. This is a big wicket for the Strikers. Watson c Wells b Neser 68(40) [4s-4 6s-5]

Stanlake to Daniel Sams, out Caught by Laughlin!! The slower ball does the trick. Second wicket for Billy Stanlake. It was the leg-cutter at 125.7kph from a back of a length, Sams was early into the heave and ended up spooning a straightforward catch to Laughlin at mid-off. Daniel Sams c Laughlin b Stanlake 0(3)

Stanlake to Jason Sangha, out Caught by Wells!! Sangha holes out in the deep. A hit-the-deck-hard ball at 144.1kph from a short of length, Sangha went hard on the pull and made decent contact, but he hit that flat and got the placement wrong. Wells, at deep mid-wicket, moved a couple of steps to his right to take that. That wicket should boost the confidence of Stanlake. Jason Sangha c Wells b Stanlake 30(27) [4s-4]

Liam O Connor to Watson, SIX, six to end the over! A massive hit from the skipper. Slower through the air as Liam O'Connor bowled it wide of off. Watson gets down on a knee and kabooms it over deep mid-wicket. Into the stands

Liam O Connor to Watson, SIX, Watson has shifted gears! Goes downtown and collects his fourth six. It was an in-drifter, but unfortunately O'Connor had overpitched it. Watson slightly moves leg-side and bludgeons it over the bowler's head

Liam O Connor to Jason Sangha, FOUR, superb placement. Comes down the track and moves leg-side to slice this fullish ball through the gap between short third man and backward point. Wristy stuff from Sangha

Laughlin to Watson, SIX, fifty for Watson! He gets there in 27 deliveries. Slower ball, fuller than a good length, Watson presses forward and tonked it over long-on. High and handsome! For a moment, the man in the deep thought he had a chance, but the ball sailed over long-on's head

Laughlin to Watson, 1 run, the partnership between Watson and Jason Sangha is now 50. Slower delivery well wide outside off, steered to the left of a diving backward point who parries it to short third man

Rashid Khan to Watson, SIX, Ingram settled under it, but in the end he palmed it over the ropes. A drop! Watson got down on a knee and went hard on the slog sweep, got it much straighter than he wanted and almost holed out at long-on. Ingram had his eyes on the ball, but failed to gather it. Rashid isn't happy with that effort

Rashid Khan to Jason Sangha, FOUR, width on offer outside off and Sangha slashes hard at it. Opened the bat-face too to place it fine of short third man. It was the top-spinner from Rashid

Liam O Connor to Jason Sangha, FOUR, streaky! Sangha went back to a leg-break to cut and got a fat outside edge that went fine of the man at short third man

Laughlin to Watson, FOUR, what a way to greet the new bowler. A harmless shortish ball, Watson picked the length early, got into a good position and heaved it well in front of square on the leg-side. Beats the man at deep mid-wicket to his left

Stanlake to Watson, FOUR, cheeky! Watson uses Stanlake's pace (141.3kph) as he opens the bat-face to late-steer it wide of a diving keeper. Raced away to the third man fence

Stanlake to Watson, SIX, 137.3kph, shortish ball that doesn't rise much and Watson puts it away. Picks the length early and muscles the pull over deep mid-wicket. Excellent contact

Neser to Jason Sangha, FOUR, pivots across and pulls this shortish ball square of the man at short fine leg. A harmless ball that doesn't rise much and Sangha swivel-pulled it with ease. A boundary to get off the mark

Rashid Khan to Ferguson, out Caught by Liam O Connor!! Two in two! Wasn't his greatest deliveries, but Rashid Khan won't mind. A tame dismissal. It was the wrong 'un from a short of length, might have held onto the pitch a bit. Ferguson for some strange reason went back and chipped it straight to short mid-wicket. A lollipop of a catch for Liam O'Connor. Ferguson c Liam O Connor b Rashid Khan 0(1)

Rashid Khan to Devcich, out Lbw!! Rashid Khan strikes! Devcich premeditates the reverse sweep shot and misses a full ball. It went under his bat and pinned him low on the front leg. That looked plumb to the naked eye. The Strikers have the breakthrough. Devcich lbw b Rashid Khan 21(12) [4s-3 6s-1]

Stanlake to Devcich, FOUR, hat-trick of fours! Devcich uses the pace - 144.3kph - of Stanlake and flicks a length ball on leg-stump line into the long leg fence. Fine leg ran across to his right, but could only watch it go past the ropes

Stanlake to Devcich, FOUR, 139.6kph, bumper, Devcich gives the charge to the pacer and goes for the pull despite the ball getting big on him. Gets a top-edge and the ball flies over the keeper's head

Stanlake to Devcich, FOUR, fuller length ball on leg at 144.1kph, Devcich clears his front leg and flogs it over wide mid-on. One bounce and into the fence. It was right in Devcich's slot

Neser to Devcich, SIX, Devcich's first six. Neser overpitches and Devcich takes full toll of it. A press forward, a slightly bent back knee and then a good swing of the bat to tonk it over long-on. Devcich held his pose for the photographs. Everything was right about that shot

Liam O Connor to Watson, FOUR, four more! Liam O'Connor overcorrects. A half-volley outside off and Watson batters the drive through extra cover

Liam O Connor to Watson, FOUR, bad ball and Watson needs no second invitation to hit that. A half-tracker, Watson camps back and crouches to pull it over backward square leg
