Peter Siddle is the Player of the Match. "We were disappointed to start with a loss, and a lot more improved tonight. I enjoyed tonight a bit more not having to worry about captaincy. Great to contribute tonight."
10.32pm The Strikers win from a position of 2/9. Their four points, including the one for Bash Boost, takes them from seventh to fourth on the points table. Siddle took his career-best T20 figures (5 for 16) after which Carey and Weatherald showed their experience in the chase. McDermott and Ingram batted well for the Hurricanes in the first innings.

Ellis to Gibson, 1 run, full on leg, and flicked towards square leg. Adelaide Strikers win by five wickets
Hayes: "This match is a disaster for the BBL in general. The X-Factor was a complete waste for both teams, and their other two tweaks have been useless. BBL is in deep trouble."

Ellis to Short, OUT, full on middle, and chipped to mid on! Golden duck. A bit of swing into Short, and he failed to clear the mid-on fielder
