Hobart Hurricanes win by 25 runs after staging a remarkable turnaround after the powerplay. It was started by Riley Meredith and turbo-charged by a brilliant spell, and three-wicket over, by Qais Ahmad. The pitch was tough for free scoring, only D'Arcy Short really settled in, and there was some good bowling on both sides but it's Qais who will rightly take the attention. It's a quick turnaround for both sides as they both play again on Sunday. There's more BBL action today with the Melbourne Stars getting their tournament underway against the Brisbane Heat and you can follow all the action here. For now, though, that's all from here. Thanks for joining us.

Faulkner to Silk, OUT, great catch, that's the match! Full and straight, Silk plays effectively a slog sweep, doesn't get far off the ground and Short does brilliantly at deep square to take it low at the ground.

28 needed off 12. Silk needs to find the boundary, or let Manenti do it. Faulkner at the death
