9.51pm That's that from the Adelaide Oval for tonight. Join us again for more BBL action tomorrow, when Marnus and Smith go face-to-face. Melbourne Stars will wind their league engagements up with a game at home against Brisbane, while Adelaide have Perth away and Hobart at home again in their last two engagements. For the moment, this is Debayan Sen, saying goodbye on behalf of my colleagues at ESPNcricinfo.

Jonathan Wells is the Man of the Match: "Nice to contribute again. I don't think (I am under the radar). Had a good season last season, and this year too. It was not ideal, but we had to get a partnership going. It was a pretty tough wicket, and we showed that by defending 160-odd against a very good side. (On Siddle) He's done it time and time again for us. (On beating Stars twice) They are on top quite comfortably. It was big for us to win, and hopefully we can push for a top spot on the league. And we might come up against them later in the playoffs."

9.46pm Adelaide Strikers do the double over the league leaders. Made possible by the quality of their middle overs batting, and the variety in their attack.The Stars began well with the ball, and Strikers were struggling to get themselves to a good enough total at one stage, but then Wells played a peach of an innings, with Carey supporting him ably. And with the ball, the home side were peerless throughout

Siddle to Worrall, OUT, knocks off stump back again! Pumps his right fist, and he has bowled this last over near perfectly. Full ball, and Worrall backs away hoping to go inside out. Beaten by the pace of it, and that goes through his defence and takes off stump out again

DJ Worrall b Siddle 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Siddle to Handscomb, 1 run, that should do it! Nails the yorker, and Handscomb can only get this down to fine leg

Two sixes for a Super Over

Siddle to Handscomb, FOUR, fuller length, and he whips this away to deep square leg. Gets four!

Importantly, Handscomb back on strike. Three sixes will do this...

Don: "Even if Stars lose this, I take back my comment about Handscomb. Well played!"

W
Siddle to Zampa, OUT, length ball, and he scoops this up towards square leg...where it's taken! Smart catch by Short, diving forward, with both hands under the ball. Saw it all the way through. If you would want to defend 22 off the last over, most times you would want Siddle to do it

A Zampa c Short b Siddle 6 (5b 1x4 0x6) SR: 120.00

Siddle to Handscomb, 1 run, length, slapped hard, and cover is able to cut it off. They take the single!

Siddle to Handscomb, FOUR, ooh, lucky! Skips down the wicket, and gets a top edge as he looks to cart Siddle down the ground. It goes over point and runs away to the third man boundary

Matthew: "If you publish any more comments from Liam, you might as well hire him!" --- Who's to say that's not me publishing my innermost thoughts anyway?
