9.30pm Experience trumps flair tonight as Siddle keeps cool to finish the game magnificently for Strikers. They remain undefeated as they jump to first. This was also Stars' first defeat. Fireworks at the stadium - a beautiful sight with the night sky in the background. Maxwell, Stoinis and Handscomb kept Stars in the hunt all evening but Rashid and Siddle always kept Strikers ahead of the eight-ball. Don't forget Jono Wells' 68 in the first innings. He is the Man of the Match.. "I was nervous after dropping Maxi," he says, "but credit to Siddle for keeping calm at the death."
Amit Kumar: "Ifs and Buts - Steyn would have been a better swinger choice than Zampa, isnt it.."
Can the new man hit a six a win it for Stars? Coulter-Nile will be at the non-striker's for the final ball. Surely Siddle doesn't need a reminder about "no no-balls, no wides." Zampa will take strike
Jay: "B Dunk 16 balls for just 17 runs cost stars this match!!"
BR Dunk b Siddle 17 (16b 0x4 0x6) SR: 106.25
Nine needed off four. The right man's on strike, if you're a Stars fan. Cameron White helping Carey out. Fine leg goes back
Five more twos and the Stars are home. Crowd on it's feet
Vaibhav Shukla: "Sorry about the Rashid comment Liam, anyways Siddle proved me wrong."
Grandstand finish to this fixture, folks.
Duke: "Possibly the best game of this BBL season."
