8.17pm Innings break The Strikers look well short of a par total there but it is defendable given the Scorchers batting form. Carey was excellent but didn't get much support. Jhye Richardson and Aaron Hardie led the Scorchers attack superbly. If they had held their catches they would have bowled Adelaide out.

Liam: "Strikers will be happy with that total. They already have 52 runs too many haha"
