10:19pm And off we go again. The par score for 7.3 overs is 51 for 3. For eight overs, it's 55 for 3. The captains and umpires are having a chat. We don't have too much time remaining for get the overs in. So this should be the end...yes it is. Melbourne Stars have won by four runs (DLS method). The captains shake hands. As do the teams. It's been a dicey evening and Stars have done just enough to stay ahead of the par. Experience counts. Stoinis and Handscomb didn't take too many risks as we approached what was the third rain stoppage. Only 18.3 overs possible in the match and in the end Stars ended up in front. Nathan Coulter-Nile is the Man of the Match. His 2 for 14 alongside Steyn's 2 for 12 set this up well for Stars, who are now second place with six points. Thanks for joining us and we'll see you soon!
