END OF OVER:
20 | 17 Runs | AS: 174/4 | RR: 8.70

  • Rashid Khan6 (2b)
  • Jonathan Wells68 (46b)
  • Nathan Coulter-Nile4-0-30-0
  • Daniel Worrall4-0-45-1

Jono Wells unbeaten on 68 with a 13-ball partnership of 32 to end the innings. Wells scored 51 off his last 26 balls. He made only 17 off his first 20.

Stars controlled the game between overs 4 to 18, but the last two overs have changed the complexion of the game. Steyn had a tough initiation in his maiden BBL game. Wells says, "it's a defendable total." We'll be back in ten minutes with the chase.

Ilty: "No, big mistake not playing haris rauf.. "

Prabin : "was not expecting these last 2 overs will be bowled by these two. I was expecting 19th to be by sandeep and last for steyn."

Ammar J. : "Damn, I miss Haris Rauf already :("
