7.35pm So that's two in two and full eight points for the Stars. The win was set up by Stoinis and Maxwell even though they couldn't finish big after being 92 for 1 after the first ten overs. But then their bowlers bowled tight lines - Zampa was impressive in particular, finishing with 2 for 10 from his four overs - to restrict Thunder to 149 for 9 and give the Stars a 22-run win. And fittingly, Zampa is the Man of the Match.
That's all from our side for this game. See you at the second game.
