Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Stars, 48th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Worrall to Short, FOUR, amazing precision from Short. A slower delivery, angled on leg. Short took his front leg out of the picture and clubbed it between deep mid-wicket and deep square leg

Worrall to Wells, FOUR, priceless fifty this from Wells, coming off 34 balls. Pitched fuller just outside off, Wells frees hisarms and crunches it over extra cover

Zampa to Wells, SIX, second six of the over and 16 have come off it. Just the kind of over the Strikers needed at this stage. Tossed up leg-break, Wells steps out nicely and cleanly muscles it over long-on

Zampa to Short, 1 run, follows him with a quicker delivery, now Short mistimes it to deep mid-wicket

Zampa to Short, SIX, this is the length Short was waiting for in the last few overs; now Zampa serves it up in the swinging arc and Short after clearing his frong leg smokes it way back over cow corner

Worrall to Wells, FOUR, this is such a clever shot from Wells. Saw the slower delivery on a very fuller length outside off, opened his bat face and used only the pace to steer it expertly past point

Zampa to Wells, FOUR, fantastic adjustment from Wells. Zampa saw him coming down the track, slowed it up and took it away from him. Wells despite not quite reaching the pitch extended his arms and lofts it magnificently over extra cover

Lamichhane to Wells, FOUR, Lamichhane continues to leak runs. Leg-break outside off, Wells gets deep and cuts it uppishly past point. The fielder at sweeper cover is squarer and he has no chance of stopping this

Clint Hinchliffe to Wells, SIX, Hinchliffe tries his luck by digging it short, Wells ain't making the same mistake as Carey. Jumps back quickly and smokes it powerfully into the stands at deep mid-wicket

Clint Hinchliffe to Carey, out Caught by Nick Larkin!! Just when Carey was looking ominous, he's holed out to deep mid-wicket. Definitely not a wicket-taking delivery as it was short and deserved to be hit. Carey went back and pulled, didn't quite get the connection right and finds Larkin. Carey c Nick Larkin b Clint Hinchliffe 33(21) [4s-1 6s-3]

Maxwell to Carey, SIX, Carey is in top gear now! Just amazing to see this block playing spin so well. Picks up the quicker one early and dispatches this over deep backward square leg with a meaty slog sweep. Too easy

Lamichhane to Carey, SIX, blasted straight down the ground! Carey's spin-batting skills on display here. Reached out this tossed up delivery and ensured that he went dead straight with the loft. Maxwell at long-off was very wide and hence, this was smart batting from Carey. Hits the rope on the full.

Lamichhane to Carey, FOUR, very loose ball and Carey finds the gap with a slog sweep that's well wide of short fine leg. No protection in those areas and Lamichhane knows he shouldn't have bowled there

Zampa to Carey, SIX, hammered over square leg! A much-needed release for the Strikers. Was fairly in the slot and Carey picked it early, before slog-sweeping it over the leg-side. Tonked it

Clint Hinchliffe to Weatherald, out Caught&Bowled!! Weatherald's misery is over. Never got going today at all and perishes to a very sharp catch. This was tossed up nicely by Hinchliffe and Weatherald launched it straight back at him. The young spinner showed good reflexes to pouch this. Weatherald c and b Clint Hinchliffe 15(27) [4s-1]

Clint Hinchliffe to Head, out Bowled!! Sneaks through! A huge strike from Hinchliffe and another major blow to the Strikers. Was the quickish leg break on off stump, Head probably thought about giving the charge and then sat back deep to play across the line. The delivery was a bit too quick for him to adjust and this went past the bat to disturb the leg pole. Head b Clint Hinchliffe 5(7)

Clint Hinchliffe to Weatherald, FOUR, a much-needed boundary for Weatherald and this should calm him just a touch. Short and wide, was cut hard off the back foot and Zampa at backward point had no chance even with a dive

Lance Morris to Head, leg byes, FOUR, a bit too straight in line and although Head misses the flick, it deflects off the pads and beats Seb Gotch down the leg-side

Maxwell to Philip Salt, out Bowled!! Knocks him over! Maxwell provides the first breakthrough and immediately signals to the skies. He's lost his dear friend prior to this game and hence, everything he does in this game will be dedicated to his mate. Was a real shooter this one at 102kph, stayed a fraction low and Salt missed the agricultural swipe altogether. Philip Salt b Maxwell 22(14) [4s-4]

Worrall to Philip Salt, FOUR, Salt is on the rampage! Must say that Worrall is getting predictable here as well. Hits the deck and Salt is waiting for it, rocks back to club the pull through mid-wicket. Raining boundaries

Worrall to Philip Salt, FOUR, Salt is on the roll now! He's putting pressure on Worrall! On the shorter side and he is back quickly for the pull. Hammers it through the gap at mid-wicket. Already signs that this is a belter of a deck

Worrall to Philip Salt, FOUR, up and over this time! Length ball once more, Salt climbs into the slog and launches this easily over mid-on

Worrall to Philip Salt, FOUR, thumped away! Not a bad ball really, just a stunning shot from Salt. This was on a good length around off stump, he just went forward and hammered it on the up, straight back past the bowler. Hit it dead straight
