Scorer: Sudeep Poojar | Commentator: Andrew McGlashan
Adelaide Strikers win by six wickets and that was a fantastic game of T20 cricket. Super pitch, terrific batting. Expertly-paced chase by the home side set up by the Short-Short opening stand. And what a way to finish it by Adam Hose, showing why Strikers signed him again. Thunder may come to regret that one. Matt Short is name Player of the Match for his captain's innings. "I was so nervous, thinking about a Super Over," he says. "Hosey battled beautifully. Awesome to get the win." The BBL needed a good game to kick it into life after a slow start, and it got one. Hopefully more to follow. I'm going to wrap things up there for tonight. Our coverage of the IPL auction continues here and South Africa are also taking on India which you find here. We'll be back tomorrow night for Perth Scorchers against Hobart Hurricanes but for now, from Gnasher, it's goodbye.

Zaman Khan to Hose, SIX, straight down the ground, and wins it with a six! Terrific strike, what an innings from Hose

Zaman Khan to Hose, 2 runs, great yorker, but outside leg stump, squeezed off the inside edge to deep square and they gamble on the second. Keeper doesn't take the throw. Maybe got a difficult bounce.

Zaman Khan to Hose, FOUR, oh, wow! It's a reverse scoop this time. Was wide outside off and he flicks it through short third

Zaman Khan to Weatherald, OUT, is he run out? A full delivery, gets an inside edge into the pads. It rolls up the pitch, Zaman hustles across from his follow through, collects, turns and hits direct and Weatherland hasn't even tried to ground his bat. That's an awful piece of cricket from the batter. And a dot ball

Heck of cameo from Hose so far

McAndrew to Hose, FOUR, nearly six! Down on the back knee this time and effectively sweeps over short fine leg. Does that decide it?

McAndrew to Hose, FOUR, scoops again! Fantastic batting. Keeps low in the stance, gets underneath as McAndrew went just back of a length
