8pm: Well, Stars looked to have completely tanked it at 86 for 8 with a full six overs still to bat, but that stand of 49 off 35 from Hilton Cartwright and Trent Boult (which included a career-best from the latter) means Scorchers' win isn't a foregone conclusion. You'd fancy them to get 136 on a springy home track, though. Back in a bit to see if they can top the table

Here's Shan: "With a total of 135, I am not quite sure if the Stars can defend this Alan. But with their bowling talent especially with ODI Player of the Year Adam Zampa, I am sure they can have crack."

W
Behrendorff to Zampa, OUT, swing and a miss... and he's then run out by a mile! Zampa ends up several yards down the pitch with his arms outspread as Inglis underams into the stumps

A Zampa run out 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Adam Zampa, the skipper, is in as last man

19.5
W
Behrendorff to Cartwright, OUT, picks out long-on! Full and wide, Cartwright doesn't quite nail his slap down the ground and du Plessis takes it on the run. A decent rescue act from the Stars perspective

Behrendorff to Cartwright, FOUR, hauled through square leg, full length and Cartwright drags it for four more

Joydeep Gill: "Trent boult has 36 International sixes that's why he can bat easily" He is, in some ways, the greatest

"You weren't to know Alan but your earlier comment has come back to haunt you. Far from Boult hanging around to support Cartwright, it's turned out to be t'other way round!!" It's the crazy game we know and love, Doosra
