So that's all folks for today in the Big Bash League. The thrills, the spills and the big hits will continue tomorrow in the Sydney derby. Join us then, bye for now!!
Jake Fraser-McGurk | Player of the Match: We didn't want to risk him (Joe Clarke retiring hurt). Shaun Marsh knows how to chase - to have someone like that to stabilize the middle order is massive for us. There has always been a slight belief with me since the start of my career. It's (fortune) starting to turn a bit now, hopefully it keeps going, I do enjoy hitting sixes.
22:34 Local Time, 11:34 GMT, 17:04 IST: So the Gades are off the mark. And they have won comfortably today chasing 177 on a canter.
