Charbel: "@Shafi: Different surface. The Alice Springs track was slower than this."

4.43pm Stop-start innings from Strikers, at best. Weatherald got some runs, but they were streaky. Salt and Short failed to impress again. And with Carey soon leaving, the Strikers batting looks very light moving forward. For the Sixers, their pacers came through and Pope continued to impress with nine wickets in four games now. Strikers' mighty collapse has now left their bowlers under the pump. Can Rashid, Valente and Co come through?

Shafi : "hobart defended a smaller total earlier this season & strikers have a better bowling attack "

Curran to Conway, OUT, yorker length, on middle, and that's too good for Conway. Ball zips under his bat and knocks middle stump back. Strikers all out for 135

Curran to Conway, no run, full, outside off, and driven to cover
19.2
W
Curran to Valente, OUT, in the air and long on runs in to take the catch. Slow and wide, forcing Valente to reach at it. Plus he's through the shot too early, so the ball pops right in the air. Great deception from Curran - couldn't realise it was the slower ball from the action

C Valente c Edwards b Curran 12 (13b 1x4 0x6) SR: 92.30

Curran to Conway, 1 run, full on off, and drilled to mid-on. Scampers across and Conway wants the second, but Valente doesn't want it. Conway needs to dive back in

Dwarshuis to Conway, 1 run, yorker length, outside off, and slapped to point. Economy of 5 for Dwarshuis today

Dwarshuis to Valente, 1 run, good length, on leg stump. Flicked off the bat's edge to square leg
18.4

Dwarshuis to Valente, FOUR, slower ball, back of a length, outside off. Cut to Pope at third man, but he makes a hash of it near the boundary. Might be spinning away from him but he parries it on the slide to the rope

Dwarshuis to Conway, 1 run, slower ball, on leg stump. Edged to cover for a single
18.2
1
Dwarshuis to Valente, 1 run, full outside off, and the drive is stopped by the fielder at cover. Hughes' dive saves the boundary and very nearly gets a run-out at the bowlers' end too

Dwarshuis to Conway, 1 run, full and wide, and the drive is crunched square to the fielder manning the boundary

Hazlewood to Valente, no run, short again, on middle, but Valente ducks under it
17.3
2
Hazlewood to Valente, 2 runs, good length, outside off. Opens the bat's face to point, but the throw gets away from the fielder backing up. They take an extra run. Much needed, from the home side's perspective

Hazlewood to Conway, 1 run, full, outside off, and the attempted drive takes a thick outside edge to third man
17.1

Hazlewood to Siddle, OUT, back of a length, on leg stump. Wants to pull, but gloved to the keeper instead. Tailenders never enjoy chin music

PM Siddle c †Philippe b Hazlewood 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

Hazlewood will finally bowl out

Dwarshuis to Valente, no run, good length, outside off and angling away. Misses the cut again. Just two off the over

Strikers have lost 4 wickets for 9 runs in their last 15 balls. Here's Siddle

Dwarshuis to Carey, OUT, full, on leg stump. Makes room to try and access the offside. Dug away, but in the air, and mid off dives to his right to take a smart diving catch. Big wicket! Strikers fans awfully quiet in the stands

AT Carey c Curran b Dwarshuis 32 (30b 3x4 0x6) SR: 106.66

Dwarshuis to Valente, 1 run, full, outside off, and he flays a drive to extra cover
