PLAYER OF THE MATCH
That's it from this one. We will be back with more cricket soon. Do join us then. For now it's bye bye.
Haris Rauf | Player of the Match: I always love to play Big Bash. I play a lot of cricket here. I grew up basically in Australia as a cricketer, I always love to play here. Yeah, as a bowling unit, we assess the condition. The most important thing is we have a good communication with each other. Messaging pass on, especially with Marcus Stoinis. He's doing very well. He has a very good cricketing mind. So, I'm listening always to Stoinis. It's easy for me. Yeah, all the boys are happy. We win four game in a row. Especially as a team, we have a very good gel and enjoy all the moments of the game. (on the cold conditions) I'm so much freezing. Thanks god. We win the toss and bowl first (smiles).
22:05 Local Time, 11:05 GMT, 16:35 IST: The Stars have hammered the Thunder here. Fourth successive win for the Stars as they remain top of the table. On such a good batting pitch, a score of 128 was just not enough. Joe Clarke who injured his hand when fielding and was off the field after that, came out to open and played fine strokes en route to his fifty. Sam Harper continued his good run but just ticked the scoreboard along as he knew Clarke was going well. Maxwell came and they took the Surge to hasten the chase. A comfortable win for the Stars who look like a very good team. Stay tuned to find out who the player of the match is...
