Innings break Excellent performance from the Stars. No one quite knew what this surface would produce but the Stars played very well on the back of a superb opening stand between Dunk and Stoinis. Dunk played his best innings of the tournament. Handscomb's cameo was a good one considering Maxwell was left in the sheds. That will be a tough target to chase on this low slow surface. The Strikers got their lengths and lines wrong. The Stars will learn some lessons from that.
