Stuart: "When Thunder were put in they'd have been delighted with 180, after ten overs they'd have wanted 200. Proper knife edge final that could go either way now " Keep the comments coming in. Chase coming up soon.

Varshini : "Should Riley Meredith take a wicket off his 1st ball the next season , he should be the 1st bowler to take a T20 hat trick spread across 2 seasons !"

Jason: "Excellent fightback, Hurricanes will know their best probably wins this, but I'd take 182 on the board, Thunder go into the sheds the happier team. "

Chris: "Thunder the happier here, they have a very good run containing bowling lineup and I don't think this pitch is as good as sangha/warner made it look"

Mustafa Moudi: "Dont know whom to support. Brain Says BBL needs a New Champion so Hurricane should win but Heart is with Warner and his Captaincy. So my Eye shut both of them and asked them to enjoy the Final !!"

Matthew: "Hurricanes are surely happier. 97/0 and staring at 210 after 10 overs, and they have pulled it back admirably and managed to keep the chase to 183. Thunder will be disappointed at throwing away such a blinding start. "

8:51pm Which team would be happier? Thunder started superbly. 97 for 0 after 10, but Hurricanes - led by captain Ellis with the ball - roared back. Warner, who went through his gears, fell first. Sangha, the aggressor, couldn't carry on his early fluency later on. Slower balls and changes in length were working. But Thunder kept going, got handy cameos - from Billings, Davies, and Green, to push up above 180. Shoutout to Meredith who got middle-order wickets and bowl cheap t the death. Three bowlers (eight total overs) went at 11s and 12s. They were okay collectively, but have they given the template for Thunder's bowlers? And how will the pitch behave later in the night? Find out with Alex. Oh, and by the way, the championship is on the line.

Thamizhachi : "Couldn't get a better foundation than 97/0 in 10 overs ! How the ST innings has lost all the steam that was generated by the opening partnership!!!!" Ball softenting, as Seven's commentators say, is a factor. Control of pace and length has been excellent to

A team hat-trick on the cards

DaWolf: "After 14 overs 190 was looking like the minimum. Good fight back from the bowlers."

ArjunV: "Could Tom Andrews have come ahead of Chris Green considering the recent form?"

Kannadachi : "Top quality T20 from Nathan Ellis!! Has got the HH back into the contest"

Backward point goes deep, back over the wicket

ArjunV: "Love seeing a captain stand up in a final when the rest of the team seem nervy on this big stage. Ellis' spell surely keeping the Hurricanes in this game. Glimpses of MSD in 2011 or Ponting in 2003..."

Shane: "Ellis to bowl the next or the 20th?" Now it is. Crowd can't get enough of him. Big applause as he runs in

tom: "a reverse-backflip? so a front flip?" I'll level with you, I didn't think it through
