Innings break Super innings from Wells at the end but the Strikers probably left 20 out there. A needless run out of Carey early hurt them. Weatherald played well for 50 from 40 but couldn't go on with it. Rashid Khan was strangely left in the dug out and didn't get a chance to add to the total as he has done so well in the last couple of games. But 150 is certainly a score this bowling attack can defend.

Mark: "Cost 20 runs at least? Rashid was *guaranteed* to make at least 37 from 13 balls?"

Mitch: "Rashid averages 13 in T20's with 24 NOT OUTS, why is everyone acting like he's a great batsman?"

It's an interesting debate. Based on his career strike rate of 154 he would have got 20 off the 13 balls Valente faced. But Rashid made 21* off 7 against the Renegades and 21 off 12 against the Scorchers.
