10:13pm Strikers have engineered a super comeback to snatch this win here. They will now host Hobart Hurricanes in their first ever BBL final. You'd have expected some panic when the strike bowlers started getting carted around, but Travis Head was impressive as captain. After his 85, he snuck in four economical overs along with the wicket of Harris. And then, he took a gamble with Ingram that might have won them the match a lot earlier if the fielding had fallen into place. He also took a gamble with Neser, the bowler who struggled most up till the 19th over. That over went for only 7, after Rashid went for 8 in the 18th. Laughlin had a poor start to the final over, but he and his skipper got the tactics bang-on from there. Bowled to his field every ball, and he's pulled it off against Pollard who makes a living out of these situations.A superb match and we hope you enjoyed it as much as us. We'll see you on Sunday for the final.

Laughlin to Pollard, 1 bye, Laughlin has done it! Head confirms with the umpire that the ball is dead as his team-mates wheel away in celebration! Pollard has missed a length ball that's tailed into him. Sneaks past his inside edge and misses the off stump too. What a game. You count on Pollard to send that flying, but the marginal movement in has done it

It's only the captain in the bowler's ear right now. They have long-off very straight now. Third man and fine leg are in.

Laughlin to Pollard, 2 runs, Pollard scrambles and just makes it for the second! Rashid fires it in from long-off after Pollard can't get connection on the yorker

Laughlin to Pollard, 2 runs, yorker at middle stump, tailing in at leg stump. Lifts it over the non-striker off the toe-end. They steal the second as Lehmann cleans up to his left

Pollard picks this moment to take the gloves and helmet off and adjust his laces. Guess what the crowd thinks of that?

Laughlin to Cooper, 1 run, slower bouncer lifted wide of fine leg with a hook. They settle for a single

Long chat between batsman and bowler. Fine leg has dropped back and mid-off comes in.

Laughlin to Pollard, 1 run, nicely done! Yorker in at off stump. Jams it towards long-off for the single

Laughlin to Pollard, FOUR, oh what a hit. Lovely drill down the ground from Pollard. Laughlins tosses the slower ball up at middle stump and it's in Pollard's arc. Long-on has no chance
