So Strikers claim the bonus boost point, doing it several overs before the halfway point of the chase, but then somehow wind up miles off the target. Wrap your heads around that for the next 48 hours as the BBL has an off day tomorrow before the tournament resumes in Canberra when the Sydney Thunder take on Perth Scorchers. That's all from us tonight. Take care!
Man of the Match Dan Christian: "The way the game started off, Dan Worrell bowled beautifully. I was just trying something different. They got off to a great start in the chase too but everyone was fantastic tonight. It'll be good to get to Queensland to get rid of the thermals and get warm." Everyone on the field and in the crowd was bundled up on a chilly evening in Hobart tonight.
10.33 pm Sixers romp by 38 runs. They were in a colossal hole after 12 overs before Dan Christian's whirlwind 50. Strikers were similarly way ahead in the early stages of the chase before inexplicably staying in first gear through the second half of the chase. Wells ends unbeaten on 36 off 38 balls, not an innings he'll be framing to hang in the study at home. Ben Manenti's spell of offspin produced two soft dismissals and the Strikers couldn't get any momentum going to recover.
