Adelaide Strikers win by 15 runs after a brilliant comeback with the ball. The Scorchers were 0 for 124 in the ninth over and then they fell apart, starting with two in two balls to Rashid Khan, followed by some excellent death bowling from Wes Agar and Harry Conway. It's been a wonderfully entertaining T20 match, dominated by the bat but good bowling has been on display as well.
Ron: "We all know that was an amazing batting show, but that's Rashid's game. He turned that. Unbelievable."
The Scorchers will wonder what went wrong, the Strikers that gets their winning underway. I'll wrap things up there for tonight. There's more BBL tomorrow afternoon, but this is my last BBL match before Christmas (and until the New Year) so I'll wish you all a great time over the next few days and I'll be back for the Boxing Day Test from the MCG. Goodnight and thanks for joining.
USM: "124 runs from 1st 8.3 overs with no loss of wicket to 50 runs from next 8.3 overs with 6 wickets, what at turnaround this match has seen. Really cricket is a funny game...."

It's 25 needed off the last over and that looked unlikely half an hour ago
