9.40pm: As suspected, Stars just didn't have enough to put pressure on the Scorchers chase. Ashton Turner's rapid fifty was the difference after the visitors had laboured to 135 all out, and that means Stars stay down in the depths with one win from five. Scorchers, the defending champions, top the table with eight points. That's it for tonight, we'll be back for more tomorrow. Bye!
