Nathan McAndrew is the Player of the Match.
6.27pm From 2 for 93 to eventually finishing on 8 for 128... the Hobart Hurricanes will be very disappointed with how the game panned out eventually. They collected the Bash Boost point and looked set to win too but wickets in overs 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 absolutely derailed their chase. Short, McDermott and Handscomb showed signs of brilliance but they simply could not get that big innings as the second half of the second innings got underway. Khawaja, Ross and Cutting were fantastic with the bat in the first innings - which took them to 167. The Hurricanes will now be hoping that Riley Meredith quickly recovers from his rib injury. What was most pleasing for the Thunder that the concussed Daniel Sams was not missed at all. The Thunder are now first on the points table The other Sydney team the Sixers are second. And the Hurricanes stay on third, helped by that one Bash Boost.

Matt: "Hear me out on this one... the last over can be nominated for a player who is in at that point, and is a free over. They can't run so only boundaries. and they cant get out. A bit of a silly rule but would be interesting to see wether players like cutting or christian simply play out the 19th over in order to have a free 20th over!! Would be harsh on the bowler though"
