10:38pm That is all we have from our coverage tonight! Thanks for coming, and see you soon.

Sam: "So Pranay keeps his virtual hat "

Wilthought: "appears that Coulter Nile's horrific misfield in the final over of the Thunder innings has come back to haunt them. "

Rat: "Coulter-Nile's tragic fumble cost them the match!"

Callum Ferguson is the Man of the Match.

10:31pm A win by one run! Sydney Thunder very nearly letting a massive advantage slip. But what a partnership between Turner and Bosisto. Came together at 54 for 5 at the start of the 12th over, with a required rate of nearly ten on a pitch that appeared unplayable. Not to mention, they came together in the middle of a dramatic collapse that read 4 for 4. The win puts Thunder in second place, but things have only gotten worse for Scorchers who now have only one win in five games and a serious batting disaster to sort out.

19.6

Sams to Turner, 2 runs, he's done it! Sams has just about held on. Slower ball, short of a length outside off. Turns away from him as he goes angled-bat on this and across the line. Can only get it along the floor to long-on's left

And now another chat between Sams and Watson

19.5

Sams to Turner, 2 runs, just clears extra cover. Good slower ball, full outside off. Doesn't get to the pitch as he looks to drill this straight. Thick outside edge is over Watson

A big chat now between bowler and Watson

19.5

Sams to Turner, 1 wide, full and wide outside off, very very wide outside off. Left alone. Turner's shuffles into the off side is forcing him to push it wide

19.5

Sams to Turner, 1 wide, wide! The home crowd cannot believe this. Are those boos for the umpire? He isn't wrong here at all. Short of a length, turning a long way away outside off

19.4

Sams to Turner, FOUR, beats deep square leg! Sams with a thigh-high full toss at off stump. Turner walks into the off side and shovels it behind square on the leg side. Fielder sprints and lunges at this but can't get his fingers on it

19.3

Sams to Turner, 2 runs, slower ball, cutting away from the wide marker. But Turner swipes at it and gets it to long-off off the toe-end. Sandhu is slow there and they pick up the second

Damian: "Why would Watson not bowl Sandhu for the last over when he hasn't even gone for a boundary???"

19.2

Sams to Turner, FOUR, bisects deep midwicket and long-on! And that's fifty for Turner. Slower ball at a length, skidding in at middle stump and he gets behind the line to punch this firmly. Strong arms

19.1

Sams to Turner, 2 runs, slower ball, yorker length outside off. Tough to hit that. Meets it on the full and jams it out to long-o

END OF OVER:
19 | 8 Runs | PS: 123/5 (20 runs required from 6 balls, RR: 6.47, RRR: 20.00)

28 off 12 now, and Thunder are worried

17.6

Green to Turner, SIX, pumps it long over long-on! Green slows it down and beats him in flight outside off. He runs down at it and clubs it anyway. Superb connection despite having to reach out a long way. A great over has turned in the last two balls

17.5

Green to Turner, FOUR, low full toss on off stump, backs away, makes room, and hammers this back past the non-striker

17.4

1lb
