Scorer: Chandan Duorah | Commentator: Alex Malcolm
Hurricanes win by 57 runs and might have got up to 5th place on the BBL table on net run-rate. That was a disaster for the Thunder. Not quite Brisbane Heat levels but they lost 8 for 28 after being 2 for 100 in the 13th over. Alex Hales was in control and D'Arcy Short changed the game with his maiden five-wicket haul in T20s. He bamboozled the Thunder middle order who played very carelessly.
D'Arcy Short is Player of the Match for his bowling performance. Thanks for your company from Hobart.

Ellis to Bowe, OUT, Mac Wright with a direct hit! The Hurricanes win. A yorker, he drives to mid off and runs, Wright has time to steady and fire and hit at the non-striker's and he's well short

Ellis to Sandhu, OUT, Bowled him! 137kph, yorker hits the base of middle! He backs away and Ellis fires full and straight and it's way too quick. Middle is rocked back.

Ellis to Cook, 1 leg bye, Nearly a run out! Slower ball drifts into the pads, it rolls into the off side, they run, Ellis fields in his follow through and just misses with the underarm. He would have been out

Short to Sandhu, 2 runs, shorter on leg, he's back and tucking this behind square for a couple
