That's it for this one. We will see you soon. Bye for now.
Mitch Marsh | Player of the Match: Well, me personally, it was a slow start to the tournament, so it took me a while to get going. I probably haven't felt at my best throughout, but I've shown glimpses and hopefully it all starts to come together now. Yeah, I thought it was a great performance from all. It certainly felt like a 220 wicket. It probably didn't look like that at the start of the game. We were a little bit unsure, but it certainly felt that way. I thought our bowlers, the way some of our young guys stayed calm under pressure, it's not easy to... I mean, it should be easy defending 230, but when you're going like that, it's not always easy. So, I thought, it was an all-round performance. (on the bat-flip) Yeah, it's been good. I think AT (Turner) might give it up next game. He's 1 from 7, so that's absolutely poor. Hopefully he can start winning a few when it counts.
22:06 Local Time, 11:36 GMT, 17:06 IST: Too much to do for the Strikers and they lose this. They were on track at the halfway stage as Carey was going strong but once he fell, wickets came regularly and the chase petered out. Matt Short and Carey started so well, both batters took on the powerplay and made it count. Hardie got Short and then Mahli Beardman deceived Carey with a back of the hand slower-ball. The Scorchers go 2nd with this win. The Strikers are 6th. Stay tuned to find out who the player of the match is.
