Too bad they can't progress. Thunder had to chase it down in 11.3 overs or fewer, once that didn't happen, the result automatically went out of the window. That said, it can't be too bad to sign off with a win. Over to tomorrow's game, then. Stars will qualify if they win, else Brisbane Heat will go through. Thanks for joining us on the coverage, hope to see you very soon.
