Marcus Stoinis has carried the Stars to 4 for 163. They made 167 here last year and it was enough for a comfortable win. At midway they looked set for closer to 180 but Riley Meredith was superb. The powerplay will be vital in the chase. "It's a pretty tough wicket," says Stoinis. The Hurricanes made a number of errors in the field but managed to hold it together well in the second half. I'll be back in a few minutes for the chase.
