Complete Adelaide Strikers won by 5 wkts

Player of Match: Cameron Boyce

That's an important win for the Strikers because it means they pip the Stars to break into the top four on the points table.
Cameron Boyce | Player of the Match: It’s huge. The boys are starting to believe now. Couple of big games left for us. The way we’ve batted through those first four overs throughout the competition has been great, they go by so quickly. It was quite nice to pick up a couple of wickets and play my role. We’re going alright now, it’s about continuing to do the same. People keep saying I’m bowling slower and it’s tactical but to be honest I’m just getting older and trying to get through the crease. Been playing for 12 years now and I think I know my game pretty well now.
22:32 Local Time, 12:02 GMT, 17:32 IST: Just like in the first innings, the Hurricanes mounted a respectable come-back in the second half of the innings but it wasn't quite enough to take the Strikers down.

19.1
Corey Anderson to J Overton, no run, a massive shout for caught behind and the umpire stays unmoved! No reviews left either! Full and wide outside off, J Overton threw his hands at this and the Hurricanes thought he got a tickle on it as it went through to McDermott, the umpire didn't think so
Corey Anderson [0.1-0-1-0] is back into the attack
Lots of fielders in the ring looking to stop the one, even the ones outside are only halfway out
The Hurricanes manage to take it into the final over but the Strikers need just 2 to win
