185/6(20ov)
Sydney Thunder
128/10(17.3ov)
Hobart Hurricanes beat Sydney Thunder by 57 runs
That is all we have for you from this game. But do not go anywhere! The Scorchers-Strikers clash is on our heels. Hope over there to catch that action...
D'ARCY SHORT HAS BEEN NAMED THE MAN OF THE MATCH. Not surprising, but only thing bamboozling is that if you have just tuned in and not checking the scorecard, you would be surprised to see that he has been awarded because of his bowling, not batting.
A miserable evening for the Thunder. They were inconsistent with the ball, conceding too many runs at the death while the batting simply did not step up. Only three men reached double figures. This poor display means that Thunder have slipped to 6t, with Hurricanes taking the provisional 5th spot. The Greens must find a way to beat the Scorchers in their final clash.
Right. A 57-run win for the Hurricanes. They never were in threat, after posting 185. Only Hales provided any sort of resistance but the biggest surprise was D'Arcy Short taking a 5-fer. The others did not even need to build any sort of pressure, as Short cut the run chase short.

We are back for the chase. The players are out in the middle. Usman Khawaja and Alex Hales will open the batting for Sydney Thunder. James Faulkner will start the proceedings for Hobart Hurricanes.
So the target for Sydney Thunder is 189 from their 20 overs. Can the Green team from Sydney keep their hopes alive with a win? Or the Hurricanes will succeed once again in defending the total? Stay tuned for the chase on the other side of the break.
Talking off the bowling of Sydney Thunder, they were superb with the ball in hand as they kept it tight and made life miserable for the Hurricanes' batsmen for most part of the innings. Arjun Nair was once again superb with the ball in hand as he striked in his first over. Others too were good with varying their lines and lengths. Daniel Sams was the stand out bowler for the visitors as he took 4 wickets. The fielding was also superb as they took some great catches.
It has been an excellent batting display by the Hobart Hurricanes. Matthew Wade was partnered by D'Arcy Short as the duo opened the innings. But Short was unlucky to get dismissed in just the 1st over itself. Then once again the pair of Wade and Wright came to their rescue as they both added 97 runs for the second wicket. Also, Wade reached his fifty but failed to carry on. There was a mini collapse in the middle but George Bailey played a cameo to lift the total close to 190.

The umpire takes the help of the third umpire and the replays roll in. after mutiple angles the umpire spots in one of the frame that Sams had touched the ropes as he was holding the ball in his hand before throwing it away.

NOT OUT! Wright survives the risky run. Miller taps this full ball towards covers and calls for a single. Wright responds. The fielder pounces on the ball and throws it towards the keeper's end. Lenton there takes the ball and whips the bails off in a flash. The umpire takes it upstairs and the replays roll in. It shows that Wright was pretty quick to get inside the crease. A single completed.

FOUR! Excellent effort by Alex Ross but in vain. Length delivery on middle, Wright flicks it over mid-wicket. Alex Ross tries to take the catch in the deep but he sees that he is falling over the ropes. Hence, he throws the ball in the air and then goes over the ropes. He then tries to catch the ball by coming back inside the playing area but he fails to grab it as the ball falls on the boundary cushions. The umpires take it upstairs to check whether it is a six or a boundary. Finally, the umpire after going through lot of replays decides to give it a boundary.

OUT! BOWLED! Short departs without troubling the scorers. Not the kind of start the Hurricanes would have wanted. Short has a short stay at the crease on his comeback. Floated delivery on off, Short looks to push it towards mid on but he plays down the wrong line only to see the stumps shattered. The off stump takes the beating. Sydney Thunder are up and roaring here.
